New series starts Wednesday 17th April at 10pm on W

Red Flag is a gripping, new true crime series which tells the astonishing stories of women who were deceived into loving the men who ripped their lives apart. Experts Rebecca Mason and broadcaster and psychologist Anjula Mutanda uncover the ‘red flags’ that went missed, unseen or ignored in relationships that quickly descended from the promise of a new love, to lives that were torn apart.

Stream all episodes from Thursday 17th April on UKTV Play

The Last Post is a sizzling six-part BBC drama series set in the swinging Sixties. In the shimmering heat of Aden (Yemen), the drama centres on a unit of Royal Military Police officers and their families. Their job is two-fold: half soldiers and half policemen who face constant insurgency and threat. Danger is everywhere. Hand grenades, mines and sniper attacks are a constant threat. Written by BAFTA winner Peter Moffat, The Last Post is based on childhood memories, his father's career as an officer in the Royal Military Police and his mother's struggle between being what the army required her to be and what she felt like being.

New series starts Wednesday 24th April at 9pm on alibi

A new six-part drama, created and written by Toby Whithouse, combines a knotty police investigation with chilling, atmospheric folk-horror. Smart, capable and by the book Grace Narayan (Mohindra) was flying high as an inner-city police sergeant before being forced into a 'punishment posting' on the small, antiquated island of St. Jory. Confronted by the forgotten and unsolved case of missing teenage boy Cai, Grace quickly discovers that she must overcome scarce evidence, extraordinary local characters, and the island's strange cult history to uncover the truth.
