Dial M for Middlesbrough

9.15pm, Gold

Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson are back as Terry and Gemma from Draper’s Tours in the latest instalment of their comic film series. After their coach breaks down, the pair find themselves making an unplanned stay at a grim caravan park where the residents are being killed off one by one in Agatha Christie-like circumstances. Torrential rain has cut off all the exits and anyone could be a suspect, from the park’s creepy owners Evie and Jed to mismatched young couple Penny (Ambreen Razia) and Phil (Jason Forbes). Murderous fun. Ammar Kalia
