7.30pm on Channel 4

Ultra-athlete Ross once ran a marathon while towing a car. So, if anyone could swim along Iceland’s 1,000-mile coastline, as part of a science project, it would probably be him – amid temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius, 60-foot waves and “corporate killer whales.” In the first of these three parts, he almost immediately succumbs to hypothermia.

“Istanbul is a place where people disappear,” says one of its residents in director Levan Akin’s deeply moving drama. It’s also a city of refuge, renewal and freedom, as retired Georgian teacher Leah (Mzia Araboli) discovers when she travels there to search for her long-lost transgender niece. Her search, with the help of Lukas Kankava’s gruff young neighbor, Açi, and trainee Turkish lawyer Ephrem (Deniz Dumanlı), a former sex worker, reveals a perilous underworld of poverty, illegitimacy, and exploitation, but also a world of life-affirming friendship.
