UK TV programmes to watch this week : 11/01/2025

Call the Midwife (BBC 1/HD | 8:00pm to 9:00pm | Sunday 12th January 2025)

Trixie cares for Arlean Brewer, a heavily pregnant unmarried woman recently discharged from the Linchmere Mental Hospital after being diagnosed with depression and mania. When Arlene struggles with her new psychiatric drug regime, Trixie must draw on all her medical and emotional skills to avert disaster. Rising rates of gonorrhoea in the district cause alarm, and Dr Turner decides to implement a contact-tracing scheme run by the Greater London Council. Rosalind and Cyril volunteer at a homeless shelter.

7/7: The London Bombings (BBC 2/HD | 9:00pm to 10:00pm | Sunday 12th January 2025)

In a major breakthrough, police use CCTV to trace the movements of the bombers from King’s Cross back to Luton, identifying a fourth bomber and begin to search for a motive. But on July 21, four more bombs are planted on London’s transport network, but don’t kill or injure anyone as they fail to properly detonate. Intelligence leads the police to a south London address and surveillance officers follow a suspect onto a train, and firearms officers run into the carriage and shoot him dead.

Silent Witness (BBC 1/HD | 9:00pm to 10:00pm | Monday 13th January 2025)

Homecoming (Part 1). Series 28, episode 3. Part one of two. The team is called out to deal with the case of an estate agent who has been viciously bludgeoned to death with a claw hammer. They find some unexpected familiar faces waiting for them at the crime scene, and when the murder weapon subsequently goes missing, they find themselves drawn deep into a conspiracy involving local government.

7/7: The London Bombings (BBC 2/HD | 9:00pm to 10:00pm | Monday 13th January 2025)

Police believe they have shot one of the would-be July 21 bombers on a tube train, but the dead man’s personal effects suggest he’s Brazilian national Jean Charles de Menezes and not the bomber. A tip-off leads police to the bomb factory, and a desperate manhunt culminates in two armed encounters between police and the terrorists. Two decades on, investigators, rescuers, survivors and grieving relatives reveal how the bombings have shaped their lives.

Silent Witness (BBC 1/HD | 9:00pm to 10:00pm | Tuesday 14th January 2025)

Homecoming (Part 2). Series 28, episode 4. After another hammer attack, the Lyell team start uncovering connections to a conspiracy involving blackmail and the local government. DC Whelan finds himself in the middle of a potentially fatal dispute.
