## Key points

- *Killing Eve* gets a Cold War-era origin story for Carolyn Martens.
- The 1982 Berlin assignment involves CIA and Stasi agents.
- Tonight’s listings span drama, film, sport and a creepy mystery.

## Summary

The main pick is a new *Killing Eve* prequel set in East Berlin in 1982, exploring how Carolyn Martens began her career as an eccentric MI6 agent. Ann Skelly plays the younger Carolyn, whose assignment draws her into an encounter involving a CIA operative and a Stasi officer; the review calls it spicy fun, though less mischievous than the original series.

The evening’s other choices include the mystery drama *Yaga*, which continues to deepen its questions about Baba Yaga, and the final two episodes of an Australian hospital series. The listings also cover a dance-off prediction, a journey through the Dolomites, Navajo Nation-set crime drama, Jessica Chastain in a Nashville mystery, Kurosawa’s *Ran* and a packed day of rugby, football and cricket.
