The 20 best shows to watch On Demand this weekend -...


A Northern Irish cop show that strikes a chord, a man frozen in time during an avalanche and thawed out in 2024... there's so much to watch On Demand right now.

First broadcast on Sunday nights, the show favoured sex and glamour over dust and guns, with headline stars Jessica Raine (who'd made her name in Call The Midwife) and Jessie Buckley (who had just started her dramatic ascendancy with War & Peace) keeping the melodrama steamy, but also interesting, and Ben Miles and Stephen Campbell Moore among the men taking more of a backseat to the action. Set in sunny Italy but filmed in black and white, the series has much more space to give us a rounded portrait of Ripley, to the extent that you may even find yourself sympathising with him early on: he's ripped off by an Italian taxi driver and trudges around the country, unable to speak the language, desperately looking for his ticket to a better life. The show follows the Halliwell sisters, a trio of good witches - Shannen Doherty's Prue, Holly Marie Combs as Piper, Alyssa Milano as Phoebe (with Rose McGowan as half-sister Paige from series four) - as they put on a united front to battle demons and warlocks in present day San Francisco, all while trying to find love and happiness.
