PICK OF THE DAY

DEATH IN PARADISE

9PM, BBC1 ★★★★

After last week’s emotional farewell to Florence, it’s more like business as usual on Saint Marie this week – especially when normal business means murder. Neville and Sergeant Naomi Thomas (Ralf Little and Shantol Jackson, right) are caught up in whirl of celebrity intrigue when a young pop star is found dead while staying at a rehab clinic on the island. It looks like a tragic accident at first glance, but Neville’s senses are soon tingling, and he’s convinced that there’s more to her death than meets the eye.

WORLD’S MOST SCENIC RIVER JOURNEYS 7PM, CH5 ★★★

Bill Nighy narrates another restful river journey on board a traditional boat, this time through the heart of southwest France. From a hot-air balloon, we take in a bird’s-eye view of fairytale castles, and a once-vital waterway that snakes its way through beautiful countryside.
