In the aftermath of the shootout in Kent, Frank Hanna lies injured, as Ronan Bennett's four-part conspiracy thriller concludes. Unable to alert the police to what's happened, Harry and Gina drop him at a hospital and head to see Joe Collins in a hotel room near Heathrow.

Collins is in a desperate state. He tells them he was hired to do a job for Styles a while back but changed his mind. However, rather than walk away, he made the fatal mistake of stealing his laptop. Realising its contents probably hold the answers, Harry takes the laptop and heads to Lauren's with Gina. In the morning, the two of them split up: Gina goes to Nigel Fountain for answers, while Harry finds someone to break into the laptop.

Both trips deliver some unexpected truths, and Harry suddenly realises he has less than an hour to stop an event that could change everything – not just for himself but for the country. In a climactic showdown, he is forced to confront the past that has long haunted him.

Frank Hanna is played by Richard Dormer, Harry Venn by Philip Glenister, Gina Hawkes by Thekla Reuten, Joe Collins by Neal Barry, Lauren by Lisa Kay and Sir Nigel Fountain by David Suchet.

Comedian Frankie Boyle makes a guest appearance in a ground-breaking TV advert for pies, in this week's episode of Burnistoun. Other sketches include an innocent family sing-song taking a devilish turn; the local funeral director solves the age old question of whether to go for burial or cremation; and an ambitious employee panics when the boss tells a joke that isn't funny.

Meanwhile, Burnistoun's self-styled favourite son, Biscuity Boyle, proves to be well past his sell-by date at speed dating; and the "quality police" patrol men, McGregor and Toshan, try to find out who's the toughest in a pepper spray battle.

Regular characters Peter and Scott discuss the etiquette of rescuing someone who's fainted in the toilet and Jolly Boy John gets real in a video with his pet dog.

Burnistoun is written and performed by top Scottish comedy duo Robert Florence and Iain Connell, with performances from Kirsty Strain, Allan Miller, Richard Rankin, Louise Stewart and Gerry McLaughlin.

Deadly 360 continues as Steve Backshall investigates the amazing world of predators and their prey from his high-tech Deadly HQ studio.

This week the predators are all whales and dolphins. A pod of dolphins launches a mass attack on a huge shoal of sardines; a killer whale uses cunning to surprise the largest sea lion in the ocean; and a group of humpbacks employ an incredible hunting technique against a dazzling shoal of herrings.

Steve analyses their every move, studying their attack and defence strategies to find out who will come out on top in each battle for survival. Will it be the predators or the prey?
