Perry Mason, 9.00pm, Sky Atlantic & NOW TV
This show’s coming along nicely after an iffy pilot episode.
A great cast and superb production values have been met with some solid story-telling (usually the one elusive ingredient these days) and it’s well worth watching and/or to catch up through Sky on Demand.
This week, Mason and Strickland lean on Virgil for extra-legal assistance. Following Sister Alice’s recovery from a frightening episode, Birdy urges her daughter to renounce her claims about baby Charlie.

Perhaps more than any other artist, Van Gogh’s life has long captured the imagination of storytellers as well as art lovers and anyone fascinated by extremes.

This five-parter examines the realities of war and life under Isis, with unique personal archive from civilians and soldiers from both sides of the conflict.
As war began, many Iraqis were hopeful. Ahmed Al Bashir, now a renowned comedian, remembers practising his English with US troops before the realities of occupation became clear.
Waleed Neysif was 18 when George Bush gave Saddam Hussein just 48 hours to leave Iraq. He was, like many Iraqi teenagers at that time, infatuated by the West.
But while many of his generation grew up enjoying songs by the Backstreet Boys, Waleed formed Iraq's first heavy metal band.
This world is one strange place.

Episode 13 is definitely an unlucky one for this drama, as it was the last one of the first season and the show was subsequently cancelled.
In fairness, it lost its way after a promising start, and never really made up its mind whether to go for the more geeky sci-fi collective or aim for a mainstream audience.
In this finale, Jo and Brooks are in danger and with Helen's mysterious plan nearly coming to fruition, Piper recruits an unexpected team of allies.
Sadly, the knots of mystery don’t get tied-up here. The show’s ending is lost. Just like its plot.
