A hit deadpan sitcom returns with added Bridget Christie tonight in a double bill that promises to be unsettling and thought-provoking.
First up, the long-running school soap Waterloo Road tackles some tough subjects as a predatory coach continues to target vulnerable teenagers. This week's episode will focus on Portia, a footie-daft teen being coerced by her coach, while deputy head Darius takes extreme action to prevent his own embezzlement from coming to light.
Later, the ITV drama Killer in the House: The Murder of Nicholas Billingham revisits a shocking case that shocked the nation. Primary school teacher Fiona Beal was sentenced to life for murdering her partner, Nicholas Billingham, and hiding his body in their garden. This documentary programme explores the layers of this terrible crime, including Beal's attempt to go back to teaching while sending texts from Billingham's phone pretending to be him.
Other highlights include 24 Hours in Police Custody Investigates: Zombie Knives, which shows how a government decision to ban so-called zombie knives led to unforeseen consequences when companies began claiming hundreds of thousands of pounds. And Dark Winds is on U&Alibi with Leaphorn and Chee investigating vital clues that may connect two murders.
On Channel 4, The Secret of Me follows Jim Ambrose as he tells his story in a compelling documentary about growing up as Kristi Ambrose, born with atypical genitals. The programme also explores other cases and intersex research, and follows Jim as he plans to meet the surgeon who operated on him as a baby.
Finally, sports fans can tune into Champions League Football: Bodø/Glimt v Man City at 5pm, followed by Inter v Arsenal and Tottenham v Borussia Dortmund later in the evening.

Waterloo Road is tackling some tough stuff with that predatory coach and it's so not okay 
. And then there's Dark Winds on U&Alibi, I love a good mystery! But what really caught my eye was The Secret of Me doco about growing up as an intersex person - it's crazy how much they had to hide their truth 
. Anyway, I'm just excited for some good TV tonight and maybe even catch the Champions League matches later

! Waterloo Road always tackles those tough school issues and it's so relevant to today's teens 
. But what really caught my eye is The Secret of Me on Channel 4 - I've been meaning to watch that documentary for ages, and now with Jim Ambrose sharing his story about growing up intersex, it's like a whole new layer of understanding 
. It's all about acceptance and giving people the courage to be themselves 
. Can't wait to see it tonight! 
. And on the other side of things, Killer in the House: The Murder of Nicholas Billingham sounds like a super thought-provoking documentary - it's always crazy when you see the inner workings of someone's mind that led them to commit such a heinous crime 
. It's a great reminder that our bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and everyone deserves respect and understanding 
.
️! Champions League Football always gets me hyped, especially when Bodø/Glimt is playing 
.

.
, but I think that's what we need right now – some hard conversations to have. Waterloo Road's portrayal of a predatory coach is also super haunting, it makes you wonder how many more are out there 
.
what's next, gonna do a doco about someone who faked their own death? and btw, isn't it weird how this program is all like "oh no, she was trying to go back to teaching"? doesn't that sound like something our education system would've caught on to by now 
. but anyway, i do love a good drama, especially when its all about real people and stuff... 
Killer in the House sounds super intense! who sends texts pretending to be someone who's dead? 
. And Killer in the House: The Murder of Nicholas Billingham? Like, I've heard so much about that case... can't wait to watch it and learn more 
.
. It's so important we keep having these conversations, you know? And Dark Winds with Leaphorn and Chee sounds like a real-life crime drama thriller 
Who's rooting for Man City or Bodø/Glimt? 
but seriously tho, i heard that jim ambrose's doco on channel 4 is actually kinda deep... and those sports matches are gonna be lit 
esp bodø/glimt v man city, i've got a fave player from that team 
especially with Bridget Christie joining in on the double bill 
her humor will definitely bring a different vibe to the show 
can't wait to see how they handle all those heavy topics 
. What's your take on the new season? 
but at least we can laugh about it with some quality comedy later on 
what i love most about this is how channel 4 is tackling real issues like intersex research in their documentary on the secret of me 
didn't know about the school coach in trouble but glad they're tackling it 
anyways, think we need more shows like this making us think and uncomfortable 
. It's so important to shine a light on this kind of abuse and make sure we're protecting our young people. And can't wait to see the drama Killer in the House, it's been years since that case and I think it'll be really unsettling watching it all unfold again 
. Can we just say how proud we are of Jim Ambrose for speaking out? 
.
