Martin & Roman’s Irish Road Trip, Channel 4
Martin Kemp knows Dublin well, but his son Roman has barely ventured beyond Belfast, so the pair are heading out on the road to see more of Ireland together.

There will be plenty of sightseeing, family stories and, inevitably, a little father-son friction along the way.

Women In Blue, Apple TV+
This crime drama returns with its fictionalised take on an all-female police unit in 1970s Mexico. The women are up against more than just criminals, with sexism within their own ranks making an already difficult job even harder.

Reacher, Prime Video
Alan Ritchson is back as the famously formidable Jack Reacher, and this time an innocent encounter on a New York subway pulls him into a conspiracy far bigger than expected. Naturally, Reacher responds in the only way he knows how: by asking questions, following the evidence and taking down anyone who gets in his way. The latest season has all the ingredients fans have come to expect – dry one-liners, elaborate conspiracies and plenty of very large-scale violence.
