In a residential street in Edinburgh, two disparate brothers, high flying lawyer Max (Mark Bonnar) and Jake (Jamie Sives), a record shop owner, accidentally run down an old man, Walter, on their way home from a wedding. Uninsured and under the influence, Jake is persuaded by Max to cover up their deathly deed. However, their hopes that the death will be passed off as natural causes are dashed when neighbours and relatives begin to suspect Walter’s death wasn’t as innocent as it seems. The brothers find their lives rapidly falling apart as their actions begin to catch up with them. Their increasingly desperate attempts to conceal their guilt leads them further into a world where everyone seems to have a hidden agenda and they discover they can trust no-one – including each other. Written by Neil Forsyth, Guilt stars Mark Bonnar as Max, Jamie Sives as Jake, Emun Elliot as private investigator Kenny, Sian Brooke as Max’s wife Claire, Ruth Bradley as Walter’s American niece Angie and Ellie Haddington as Walter’s neighbour Sheila. |
| George Clarke’s Old House – New Home, Channel 4 at 8pm
This brand-new series kicks off with Pip, in West Yorkshire, who is moving back into the home that she grew up in, which was last decorated by her parents in the 1960s. Doing the house justice and creating something that both her parents would have been proud of is making it nigh on impossible to make any decisions. Pip must paint over her childhood wallpaper, rip up the swirly carpets and replace the kitchen that her father hand built. Can George provide emotional support and steer her in the right direction? Also, there’s a mystery in a west London threebed Victorian terrace. What lies hidden behind a wall of awful 80s cork tiles? George tools up to uncover a piece of home history. |
