What’s on TV? Keeping Faith, The Game Show Killer and Celebrity Sextortion
The Week rounds up the best picks for this evening’s television
Keeping Faith finally arrives on English television tonight. The drama, starring Eve Myles, was first transmitted on BBC Wales and gained popularity on iPlayer. Now it will begin again on BBC One at 9pm. The life of Faith, a lawyer and mother living in a small Welsh community, takes a dark turn when her husband vanishes.
For a real-life Welsh mystery, tune in to ITV at 9pm for The Game Show Serial Killer: Police Tapes. Susanna Reid tells the story of Pembrokeshire serial murderer John Cooper, whose appearance on TV game show Bullseye was eventually used as evidence to corner him.
Meanwhile, on Channel 4 at 10pm, former ITV breakfast host Dan Lobb investigates a shocking moment from his own past in Celebrity Sextortion. He sets out to discover how a video of himself engaged in a sexual act was leaked online in 2016.

Tonight’s best film recommendation is Clash of the Titans (2010) on Channel 5 at 9pm. Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and Gemma Arterton star in the remake of the 1981 mythical adventure. The script took a bashing from critics but, as Empire magazine says, “lovers of beefcake action will be happy enough with the heroes gymnastically vaulting monsters and slicing and dicing their way around the ancient world”.
