This new thriller comes from the mind of Neil Cross, who was behind the series Luther (The Idris Affair?). Starring Niamh Algar and Tom Hollander, it's described as a tense and cinematic chase thriller that pits two brilliant minds against each other in a deadly game of hide and seek across Italy.
When enigmatic genius Iris Nixon cracks a string of complex online puzzles, she's led to a piazza in Florence where she meets charismatic entrepreneur Cameron Beck, who invites her to come and work for him to unlock a powerful and top-secret piece of technology.
Her curiosity piqued, she accepts, but when Iris discovers its dangerous potential, she steals the journal containing the device’s activation sequence and vanishes.
As the series unfolds, Iris finds herself in a relentless pursuit, from a remote cabin in Sardinia through the bustling streets of Rome, as Cameron races to find Iris in a high-stakes game where trust is dangerous and failure could be catastrophic.

How I Made £1 Million in 90 Days, 10pm, Channel 4
Oobah Butler takes on his most outrageous challenge yet. Previously, Oobah satirised Amazon's attitude to delivery drivers having toilet breaks by selling an energy drink made from their urine - on Amazon. This time he's setting out to become a millionaire in just three months, simply by copying the tricks of the so-called 'business gurus'. What unfolds is a rollercoaster of unbelievable wins and crushing setbacks as Oobah dives headfirst into the high-stakes realm of start-ups, schemes, and get-rich-quick promises. Along the way, Oobah meets a cast of colourful, sometimes questionable characters who reveal how value is really created - and how much of the entrepreneurial dream is smoke, mirrors, and sheer delusion. As the pressure mounts, and the deadline nears, Oobah is forced to confront the uncomfortable question: How far can he go with his quest before his conscience tells him to stop?
