Last Tango in Halifax 9pm BBC One
The third series of the drama draws to a close, and it comes as no surprise that there's a cliffhanger involved. It's the morning of Gillian's big day, but the bride-to-be is having serious doubts about marrying Robbie. Caroline tries to reassure her that cold feet on the morning of the big day is totally normal - until she lets on the real reason. Robbie might not forgive her if he found out the truth. Meanwhile, Robbie is fortifying himself at the bar at the hotel.
