TV tonight: a hit jumpy horror series returns with Dan Stevens
Tonight's TV listings feature the return of anthology horror series The Terror, whose third instalment stars Dan Stevens as Peter "Pepper" Coffin, a man wrongfully committed to a decrepit, understaffed psychiatric hospital. The story weaves together the pasts and presents of various patients, connected by an unsettling doctor played by John Benjamin Hickey, blending jump scares with a more atmospheric, creeping dread. Elsewhere, the BBC's The Piano reaches its emotional finale, featuring young pianists Grace, Harri, Sophie and Gabby competing on stage.
Other picks include a documentary on tornado science presented by Liev Schreiber, a climate-crisis strand looking at how extreme heat affects animals from Australian wombats to Zambian leopards, and a Proms broadcast of Mozart, Elgar, Britten and Thea Musgrave. A crime drama unfolds in a divided rust belt town with a cast including John Carroll Lynch and Leslie Odom Jr, while a new adaptation of Helen Macdonald's memoir sees Claire Foy training a goshawk to cope with grief after her father's death, played by Brendan Gleeson.
