Salt road scandal

Since then, more people have come forward with their versions of events. Reporter Chloe Hadjimathew continues to gather information that has shocked and saddened the nation. Holly Richardson

Bump: A Christmas Movie

At 11.15pm on BBC One
The Australian family drama moves to Rosa’s native Colombia, and it’s either the best or worst idea ever. Ollie and Santi are no longer teenage parents and are not upset, even though they are now carrying a two-month-old baby. But Rosa herself has some doubts, and that broken mirror does not bode well.

Everything Everywhere at Once (Daniel Scheinert, Daniel Cowan, 2022), 11.10pm, movie 4
Frantic fun for (almost) the whole family, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s Oscar-winning comic sci-fi adventure never lets up during its two-hour-plus runtime. Michelle Yeoh returns to her past in this Hong Kong action thriller as a struggling laundromat owner is thrown into an increasingly surreal series of alternate universes in an attempt to defeat a powerful version of her hapless daughter Joy (Stephanie Hsu). Further exposition would be pointless – just use the hot dog finger verse, the anime verse, and, most laughably, a universe where all the characters are rocks – and enjoy the rollercoaster.
