Pick of the Day
The Miracle, 9.00pm, Sky Atlantic & NOW TV
If you enjoyed the mob drama series Gomorrah – and loads of television viewers certainly did – here's the latest contribution from those slick storeytellers at Sky Italia.
The Miracle is written by bestselling Italian novelist Niccolò Ammaniti, and there's a double episode on offer tonight to really get the ball rolling . . .
During an operation at a mob boss’s hideout, police find a sculpture of the Virgin Mary, which appears to be weeping blood. This is something which would be a big deal, especially in southern Italy.
With no explanation forthcoming, haematologist Sandra, mob boss Molocco, fallen priest Marcello, Italian Premier Pietromarchi and everyone else who comes across the statue is drawn into the mystery, with life-changing results.
Here's the trailer in Italian, but you'll get the drift:
