UK TV programmes to watch this week : 08/03/2025

Waterloo Road (BBC 1/HD | 9:00pm to 10:00pm | Tuesday 11th March 2025)

Amy witnesses Jared’s controlling behaviour towards Libby and bends the rules to seek justice. However, when things spiral out of control, she worries if her personal life clouded her professional judgment. Schuey confronts his past when Agnes goes behind his back to visit a surprising person, putting their relationship under threat, and Ashton battles with his conscience as he supports a struggling Tonya.

Death in Paradise (BBC 1/HD | 9:00pm to 10:00pm | Friday 14th March 2025) ** PICK OF THE WEEK **

Old wounds are reopened as Mervin revisits his mother’s death, though he manages to uncover the prime suspect in her murder. Even though everything points back to this suspicious figure, the team cannot work out how foul play was involved. By all accounts, Dorna took a boat out in a storm of her own volition and drowned at sea. Just as some headway appears to be being made in the case, Sterling pulls rank and throws a spanner in the works. Detective drama, starring Don Gilet and Don Warrington.
