Pick of the Day

The Salisbury Poisonings, 9.00pm, BBC One

This three-part drama that seems like something from a spy novel rather than a true story, starring Rafe Spall and Anne-Marie Duff, will be screened on three consecutive nights on BBC One.

In March 2018, former Russian military officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia Skripal were found unconscious on a bench in the small English city of Salisbury.

They had been poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent – a chemical weapon previously developed by the Soviet Union and Russia.

The Skripals were admitted to hospital in critical condition, and a police officer was also rushed to intensive care after exposure to the poison.

All three ultimately survived the ordeal, though a further Novichok poisoning incident in April 2018 left one woman dead and one man seriously ill.
