It’s pretty much as you were this week, but there are some interesting notes to take onboard. The Deuce is on later this week, and we also – finally – see series 21 of Midsomer Murders begin. How ITV is going to play it out is anyone’s guess. Elsewhere, we say goodbye to Wisting and The Trial Of Christine Keeler. Enjoy!

It was good to see Sian Reese-Williams (DCI Cadi John) on Silent Witness last night, albeit at a home for battered women. Seemed strange to hear her speaking English.
