TV tonight: a schmaltzy road trip romcom set in Spain | TelevisionThe Road Trip10.05pm, Channel 5 Novelist Beth O’Leary is a master of modern romcoms, and here is her second schmaltzy small-screen adaptation (following 2022’s The Flatshare). It is a fun, formulaic and far-fetched affair: Addie (Emma Appleton) drives her van to a wedding in Spain, but ends up giving a lift to her ex, Dylan (Laurie Davidson). With their warring friends and a strange chap called Rodney also on board, it’s the road trip from hell – but will it end in rekindled love? Hollie Richardson The Dog House8pm, Channel 4 Violet is a spirited little girl who has an imaginary dog. Escaping the world helps her deal with things, says her grandmother, who is looking after Violet while her parents recover from illness. You will cry buckets of joy, then, when she comes in to get a real dog and meets Lola, a glamorous poodle-cross. HR The Apprentice9pm, BBC One The hills are alive with the sound of egos … Kicking off series 19, the newbies are tasked with flogging Austrian alpine tours. From organising glacier treks to solving a problem such as negligible ticket sales, they are out to prove they have confidence – though for one, it will be so long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodnight. Ali Catterall Lockerbie: A Search for Truth9pm, Sky Atlantic The sombre drama about the aftermath of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 reaches its finale. Two decades after the tragedy, staunch campaigner Jim Swire (Colin Firth) begins to fear that prime suspect turned ally Abdelbaset al-Megrahi (Ardalan Esmaili) may have betrayed him. Will he embark on a risky trip to Libya to find out? Graeme Virtue An Update on Our Family9pm, Sky Documentaries A three-part delve into the world of mommy-blogging – focusing on the case of Myka and James Stauffer, who streamed their journey of adopting a child from China, but later shook the community when the updates suddenly stopped. “Do you think they adopted him for the views?” is one question put here to former followers. HR Far North10pm, U&Alibi The eccentric, fact-based comedy drama continues, getting inordinate comic mileage out of inept Chinese gangsters arguing with equally inept New Zealand gangsters over the decision to purchase a new boat. While the language barrier causes endless friction, wily local Heather (Robyn Malcolm) hatches a risky plan. Jack Seale Source link Posted: 2025-01-30 07:53:03 |
