7/7 The London Bombings, 9pm, BBC Two
In a major breakthrough, police use CCTV to trace the movements of the bombers from King’s Cross back to Luton. They identify a fourth bomber and begin to search for a reason why four apparently ordinary men have chosen to kill 52 people.
Unknown to the police, another conspiracy is brewing and comes to fruition on 21 July, with four more bombs being planted on London’s transport network. This time, they don’t kill or injure anyone, as they fail to properly detonate. But the bombers are still on the loose.
Twenty-four hours later, intelligence leads the police to a south London address. They follow a man who they believe could be one of the bombers and track him to Stockwell tube station. Surveillance officers follow him onto a train, and firearms officers run onto the carriage and shoot him dead.
Playing Nice, 9pm, ITV1 and ITVX
Set against a sweeping Cornish landscape, two couples discover that their toddlers were switched at birth in a hospital mix-up, and face a horrifying dilemma: do they keep the sons they have raised and loved, or reclaim their biological child? Living a waking nightmare, Pete (James Norton) and Maddie (Niamh Algar) are jettisoned into the world of the other couple; Miles (James McArdle) and Lucy (Jessica Brown Findlay). At first it seems all four are agreed on a solution, but it soon becomes clear that hidden motives are at play. How far can each couple trust the real parents of their child – or even each other? As Pete and Maddie are stretched to breaking point, they realise they will stop at nothing to keep their family together.
In episode 3, Pete is questioned by police, Miles leaks Pete’s private email to the press, and Pete is subsequently fired. Pete realises to save his family, he has to dig into Miles’ murky past.
