The toughest Bake Off on TV returns, as Liam Charles and Tom Allen invite pastry chefs from top hotels, restaurants and small businesses to fight it out to be crowned best patisserie team in Britain. The first challenge is tarte piemontaise and the jaffa cake.

Tonight, it's everyone's summer favourite — strawberries and cream complete with towering edible showpiece sculptures. Which teams will go through, and who will judges Benoît Blin and Cherish Finden send home?

City On A Hill — series 2

Sky Atlantic

City on a Hill with Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge
City on a Hill with Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge

Kevin Bacon plays corrupt FBI agent, Jackie Rohr, who is trying to exploit Boston's defective criminal justice system in a desperate attempt to salvage his career. The new episodes, which are set in the 90s (cue some brilliantly nostalgic outfits and hairstyles), largely revolve around a federal housing project in the Roxbury neighbourhood of the city.

Expect an explosive start to this latest series; Bacon reveals his character is "acting completely recklessly, with no concern for really anyone other than himself".
