Who killed paper boy Carl Bridgewater? Watch Channel 4’s powerful documentary Interview With A Murderer and the chances are you’ll decide it was Bert Spencer.
For nearly 40 years the former ambulance officer has been a prime suspect in one of the most infamous unsolved murders in British criminal history. He has always maintained his innocence and cites a “cast iron alibi”.

Comedy has become a rather serious matter on the BBC of late, as the Beeb seems to have decided that laughs don't seem to matter anymore, better to leave the audience looking for a noose to tie around the landing stairs and jump!
A one off drama/comedy starring the fabulous Frankie Boyle, however this isn't completely absolutely fabulous. Let me explain, and see if you fancy giving it a try. This has little dialogue, in fact Frankie only utters a handful of words. The story of an alcoholic businessman gasping for a drink,, built around a slimline (tonic) storyline without a happy ending this, if like me, you drink too much is a difficult watch.

EURO 2016 : The biggest YAWN of the Summer
By Andy Simon
As you may well have realised by the title, I'm NOT a football fan.
But many of you indeed are and for this, I like many wives and girl friends and perhaps some husbands too will have to put up with not having an equal share of the TV remote control for the next four weeks.

Euro 2016 (ITV, 7.15pm) The football is upon us. The first match of a solid month of soccer. France v Romania. Commentary by crazy Clive Tyldesley and gormless Glen Hoddle. Analysis by prattling pundits Lee Dixon, Emmanuel Petit and some other men I'm too bored to mention. What do you reckon on the TV coverage?
Amid the developing hell of TV’s two houses of horror the early irritants are beginning to make their mark. And there’s something awfully familiar about them.
This isn’t so much civilian Big Brother as a corrosive cocktail. A scary cross between (extremely minor) Celebrity Big Brother and Ex (not) On The Beach.
“The game has changed,” we were told as Channel 5’s antique reality roadshow embarked on its 17th series. It certainly has.
“The game has changed,” we were told as the antique reality roadshow embarked on its 17th series. It certainly has. Welcome to Extremely Minor Celebrity Big Brother.
Officially, this is the one where complete unknowns launch their desperate bids for fame and fortune. And fail.
But as the latest ludicrous losers traipsed into Channel 5’s house of horror some of them were not as obscure as – to coin a phrase – “the others”.
Peaky Blinders (BBC2, 9pm) An explosive finale as Brummie gangster Tommy Shelby plans the big robbery with his Russian accomplices. But who can he trust? The good news for fans is this uniquely risqué period drama has been recommissioned for two more series. Does it deserve it?
Versailles (BBC2, 9pm) Gratuitous sex, graphic violence, atrocious acting and an abysmal script. This dramatized story of how Sun King Louis XIV created France’s famous palace is very close to being so bad it’s hilarious. But mostly it’s so bad it’s painful to watch.

From creator of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman, Outcast is a brand new horror series, which stars Patrick Fugit as the very unfortunate Kyle Barnes. You’ll soon see why.
