Decades after the murder of his wife, reggae musician Billy Springer (played by Reggae Reggae sauce inventor Levi Roots, right) is able to go through his wife’s belongings… and finds crucial evidence seemingly uncovering her killer.

But in true Death In Paradise style, he ends up dead before he can reveal who’s responsible.

DI Mooney is convinced Billy was killed to conceal his wife’s murderer, and he’s more determined than ever to get to the bottom of it as the original case was investigated by the Commissioner and its unsolved status has weighed on his mind ever since.

We can’t wait for the next run of this charming series.

Susanna (left) is back with another powerful documentary – this time looking at rapist John Worboys, who was jailed in 2009 for attacking 12 women.

Last month, he was deemed fit for release, to huge public outcry. Here, Susanna learns what his victims think.

This prequel to The Big Bang Theory is set in 1980s Texas, where genius Sheldon is nine years old (he’s played by talented child actor Iain Armitage, above).

Unlike its parent show, it’s not a straightforward sitcom, but more of a nostalgia trip mixed with family drama and also some good jokes.

It’ll be interesting to see how it progresses in coming weeks.

Girls On The Edge, 9PM, BBC Two

 Girls on the Edge: This emotionally charged documentary follows three families whose daughters have been sectioned

This emotionally charged documentary follows three families whose daughters have been sectioned – a growing trend which has seen a 68 per cent rise in hospital admissions of young girls due to self-harm.

Jade (below), 17, has been sectioned for 18 months and wants to be discharged before she turns 18.
The toll it’s taking on her nearest and dearest is clear from a heart-wrenching interview with her twin sister Megan.

Then there’s the wedding of copper Richard and finance director Harriet (l-r) to attend…

Ben and Steph get Married at First Sight and immediately hit it off-
