There's what could be a decent drama on 5Select a.k.a. 5+24 tonight (Saturday 16/06/18) at 21:00; Sacrifice: The Body in the Bog.
I read the book quite a while ago, but I remember it as being quite fast-paced and quite good. I know that's no indicator of what the film is like, but it might be worth recording for a later watch. The book got quite gory and fairly graphic, but the film is rated only 15. There's a decent looking cast, too.
Here's the blurb...

Timeless
The last episode was great. Setting up very nicely for the next one. Getting more intertwined
Give it a go from the start

The Handmaid's Tale keeps on with the unrelenting sense of imprisonment, abuse and desperation. So rarely has a first series been outstanding yet is surpassed by the second series. Top, top, category now, up there with Game of Thrones. Hard to watch but utterly compelling drama.

We Handmaid's Tale recorded, but haven't started watching it yet, the first season was a corker so looking forward to it.

I've just caught up with episodes 5/8 and 6/8 of 'Humans' (3 football matches per day has played havoc with my telly schedule ) and it's building towards a cracking climax.

Humans finished much darker than I'd ever expected and was all the better for it. It really rose in my estimation.

Sorry, I meant S3 to date, of course there is more to come. Which is great!

We liked series 1 of Human's, but we lost interest on series 2 and stopped watching it.

I'm now watching series 4 of The Bridge. For me, Saga is one of my favourite tv characters and am going to miss this series when it's finished!

Saga is a brilliant creation indeed.

Hooten and the lady - on Pick
Worth a punt. Watched episode one Raiders of the lost ark inspired with Indiana Jones replaced by two people. A very English female for the thinking part and a Yank for the intuitive rough type.

Humans finished the series okay. More coming The 100, post apocalyptic drama is nearing the end of the series. It's amazing how so much eyeliner and tight fitting combat clothes either survived armegeddon and 100 years or how good they are at manufacturing it all.. goes for guns, petrol and ammo too! All those sexually active guys and dolls and not one baby! We have a pregnancy now but that was off world! Gotta love it! I got a neat app called TV Time. You input your TV series and it lets you know when the next series is due and when the next episode is up. Early days with it! It tells me Better Call Saul is nearing screening time...

I'm not the only one watching "The Orville" then? I've just watched the preview on YouTube and it looks like fun. Going to hunt it down and download back to Ep.1. Well, finally, it's come to Sky boxed sets. I quite like the gentle humour and am just seeing how it goes.

I quite like the gentle humour and am just seeing how it goes. I think the more Star Trek you have seen (all of the series, not just the original) the more you get out of it. There are a few genuinely laugh-out-loud moments, and you can tell it was made by a fan, right down to the music.

I've seen pretty much every episode of every series made. Yes, I've already done the laugh-out-loud at the in-jokes thing!

I've just realised that the new series (s3) of Unforgotten (Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar) starts at 21:00 tonight, on ITV. It became, over the previous two series, one of a handful of "must-watch" programs for me.
