TV tonight: unbearable pressure in new kitchen drama Boiling Point

Boiling Point

Sunday, 9pm, BBC One

The pressure is unbearably palpable in this four-part sequel series to the 2021 film of the same name about a chaotic restaurant kitchen (which is hard not to compare to the recent hit The Bear – both a compliment and a shame). It picks up with Carly (Vinette Robinson) now running a restaurant with the old team, while Andy (Stephen Graham) is sitting at home depressed. Carly needs to impress investors, but she’s also got her mum to look after, and service goes into disarray when she has to race home for a family emergency. Each episode is shot in long, lingering takes and sizzles with tension. After this week’s opener, you will never order hollandaise sauce again. Hollie Richardson

Film choice

Local Hero, 4pm, Film4

Bill Forsyth’s sweet-natured drama comes across as a homage to Powell and Pressburger’s I Know Where I’m Going, in which a slightly eccentric rural community befuddles then bewitches a metropolitan incomer. Here, the visitor is Peter Riegert’s Mac, a Texas oil firm minion sent to buy a Scottish coastal village for a prospective refinery. Forsyth tempers the romanticism – some of the villagers actually want to sell up – but it’s hard not to join Mac as he falls for the place, the slow pace of life and, inevitably, Jenny Seagrove’s marine scientist.

Ali & Ava, 10.30pm, BBC Two

Clio Barnard’s understanding of the ebbs and flows of working-class life is given full rein in her exceptional, Bradford-set romantic drama. “Rough and ready” Ali (Adeel Akhtar) is a landlord, separated from but still living with his wife; Ava (Claire Rushbrook) is a selfless teaching assistant, widowed with four kids – one of whom, Callum (Shaun Thomas), has a new baby. Their tentative courtship plays out through music – he’s into hardcore dance; she likes a bit of country – and stolen moments in a strong community that transcends the sinkhole estate cliches. SW
