A psychological thriller set in a Scottish holiday park is the perfect antidote to the relaxation of summer. "Summerwater", based on Sarah Moss's novel, follows several families as they unravel their dark secrets amidst the picturesque backdrop of rural Scotland.
Valene Kane stars as Justine, a woman driven to paranoia by her own demons. As the series unfolds, we're drawn into a web of deceit and tension that threatens to consume them all. Daniel Rigby co-stars alongside Dougray Scott and Shirley Henderson in this gripping six-parter that's not for the faint of heart.
But if you're looking for something lighter, "King of Lies: Football's Greatest Con" is on at 8pm on Sky Documentaries. This documentary delves into the wild story of Notts County's takeover by a consortium with dubious links, a conman at its heart, and explores how North Korea's mining industry intersects with English football.
Later, it's time for some ghostly shenanigans as "Daisy May and Charlie Cooper's NightWatch" gets underway. The siblings investigate the spooky goings-on at York's Everyman theatre, while also tackling more serious topics like menopause.
The evening ends with a period drama of a different kind - "The Untouchables". Set in 1930s America, this classic crime tale stars Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness and Sean Connery as his wise old beat cop. Expect a classy joint with a score by Ennio Morricone.
For something more recent, there's Jack O'Connell's tense thriller "71", based on the novel by Alex Donaldson. This gripping prison drama follows Gary, a British soldier who finds himself alone and on the run from IRA gunmen in Belfast during the height of the Troubles.
As for live sport, it's all about rugby today with Exeter Chiefs taking on Harlequins in the Women's Premiership Rugby at noon, followed by Scotland vs Argentina in the Men's International Rugby Union at 2.30pm, and finally England vs Albania in the Men's International Football World Cup Group K qualifier at 4pm.

I've heard great things about Sarah Moss's novel and Valene Kane's acting is literally insane! 
I love how it's set in Scotland, my favorite place to escape to. Can't wait to see the whole thing unfold and get all those feels out of Justine's storyline... or should I say, unraveling 
. What's with all these options tonight tho? Like, "King of Lies" sounds super interesting but what about "71"? Never seen it before 
It sounds like the ultimate thriller, all that dark suspense & twists in a beautiful Scottish setting? I need to get on that ASAP! 
Can't wait for Valene Kane to bring Justine to life, she's already got me hooked just from the premise. 
. The cast looks talented too - Valene Kane is an underrated actress if you ask me 
. And on the lighter side, "King of Lies" sounds like a wild ride 
. That "Summerwater" series looks super intense and the Scottish setting is gorgeous 
. I've heard great things about Sarah Moss's book, can't wait to binge-watch it 
. On the other hand, that documentary on Notts County sounds like a real scandal 
it's so intense! The Scottish setting is gorgeous too 
I mean who doesn't love a good whodunit? And Valene Kane is amazing, she's like the queen of paranoia 
. Can't we just have a decent selection of shows without all these filler options? Like, "King of Lies: Football's Greatest Con" sounds like it could be interesting, but does it really need to air at 8pm on the same night as everything else? And what's up with the random switch to documentary and then back to drama? It's like they're trying to make our brain go from "oh, a thriller!" to "wait, is this about football now?" 
. I mean, I'm sure some people will be into it, but can't we just have one or two live sports events instead of having them all scattered throughout the evening? It's exhausting to scroll through and see what else is going on 
. Can we please just get a better curated selection of shows around here? 
. And what's up with the documentary on Notts County? Didn't they have some major scandals in their past already? And is it really worth exploring the connections between North Korea's mining industry and English football? Sounds like a whole lotta unnecessary drama 
. Anyway, if you're looking for something that'll actually get your heart racing, I'd say check out "71" - that one's some intense stuff 
her character Justine is so complex and flawed, I need more of that in my life. But anyway, have you seen "71" lately? It's like watching a masterclass in tension and suspense every single time 
Back in my day, we just called it "business as usual"! 
. Anyway, I'm going to grab my popcorn and dive into Summerwater - see you in the comments! 
this summer! "Summerwater" sounds like the perfect escape from reality 
, and I love how it's set against that gorgeous Scottish backdrop 
And I'm intrigued by the intersection with North Korea's mining industry... that's some juicy stuff 
! I mean, who needs relaxing holidays when you can have paranoid Justine unraveling in the Scottish wilderness? 
And don't even get me started on "King of Lies", that conman sounds like a master manipulator 
... or is he just really good at playing with fire 
?!
