There's a Jimmy McGovern drama about a racist murder, the Beales are about on EastEnders: Secrets from the Square, Once Up on a Time in Iraq continues, and spook-filled sitcom Ghosts lands on RTÉ One . . .
Pick of the Day
Anthony, 8.30pm, BBC One
In July 2005, 18-year-old Anthony Walker was murdered by two white men in an unprovoked racist attack in a Liverpool park.
Jimmy McGovern's drama imagines what life may have been like for Anthony if the teenager had not been killed, with the reverse chronology seeing him realise his dreams and enjoy the life he had a right to before fate - and hate - took it all away.
The drama is based on conversations McGovern had with Anthony Walker’s mother about the opportunities that were stolen from him when he was still a teenager.
