TV tonight: the season finale of the bleak Welsh drama | television

Light in the hall: still water

9pm on Channel 4
As the second season of this bleak Welsh drama comes to an end, the tone seems more elegiac than explosive as events surrounding the controversial reservoir expansion continue. Budding journalist Karel Hoss (Sian Rhys Williams) investigates Lear’s death, but this sets her on a collision course with Robert (Robert Glenister), who wants the past to remain undisturbed. It was a bleak study in small town boredom. Phil Harrison

More visits for Kirsty and Phil, who return to Leeds to see how Dan and Max have fared in the five years since they helped find a home. Then to west London, where Kat and Ed have doubled their money since 2009. It’s hard to see this as a victory for anyone other than themselves, of course. pH

Enola Holmes 3 (Philip Barantini, 2026), Netflix

The Victorian-era teen mystery reunites genius screenwriter Jack Thorne with Watson director Philip Barantini. Barantini may be new to Enola Holmes, but he’s not to Thorne, as the two collaborated on the Netflix hit Adolescent. That bodes well for this third film, which sees Nebian detective (Millie Bobby Brown) distracted from her wedding to the dreamy but volatile Lord Tewkesbury (Lewis Partridge) by an unexpected disaster. Dr. Watson (Himesh Patel) arrives in Malta to tell Enola that her brother, the famous detective Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill), has been kidnapped, and she is the only mother Holmes (Helena Bonham Carter) trusts to rescue him.

The story of the rooster and the bull (michael winterbottom, 2005), 9pm, BBC Three
This is a kind of crazy adaptation of Laurence Sterne’s 18th-century metafiction book, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (ranked 19th in The Guardian’s 100 best novels of all time), in which a British film crew attempts to adapt the book for the screen. But it’s also the first time Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan will co-star as heightened versions of themselves, under the direction of Michael Winterbottom. Which means we have this movie to thank for four great sequences of The Trip. What a legacy. eeC

The last tree (Shula uncle, 2019), 1.25 amMovie 4

You can’t call yourself a British cinema connoisseur if you haven’t seen this hypnotic coming-of-age story. Sam Adewunmi is Femi, a British Nigerian who moves from Lincolnshire to London to Lagos in search of a more stable sense of self, while comedian Gbemisola Ekumelo is surprisingly good as Femi’s mother. The visuals reveal the influence of Terrence Malick, but the tender, emotional visions are all writer-director Shola Amu’s own, making him such a talent. Eig

Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story (Gillian Gunther and Stephanie Schwam, 2026), HBO Max
Robin Byrd’s story is a true New York take on Sex and the City, so it’s fitting that Carrie Bradshaw, aka Sarah Jessica Parker, is on board as producer in this connection to a more open-minded era. Byrd began broadcasting her weekly sex show on public television in 1977, and quickly became not only a local celebrity (played by Sheri Oteri on SNL) but also an LGBTQ+ activist. That meant fighting decades-long legal battles with Time Warner Cable, now known as Warner Bros Discovery, the parent company of HBO Max, the broadcaster of this documentary. Only in New York! Eig
