TV tonight: the true horror of the Salisbury Poisonings laid bare
Guardian's evening TV listings highlight a Sky Documentaries film revisiting the 2018 Salisbury poisonings, in which former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were attacked with a nerve agent. The documentary draws on first-hand testimony, including from journalist Emma Volney and former prime minister Theresa May, to reconstruct the shock and confusion in the town at the time, underlining the enduring impact of the attack on Salisbury and UK-Russia relations.
The rest of the schedule offers a varied mix: a Doc Martin remake set in Maine, the 10th "heroes v villains" season of Survivor Australia, a sitcom-themed comedy from Joe Wilkinson and David Earl, the vampire drama Interview with the Vampire featuring Jennifer Ehle, a documentary about a former ketamine user detained in Japan, a late-night screening of the 1986 classic Stand By Me, and live coverage of The Hundred cricket.
