Playing the Field 9.00pm BBC1
Passions off the football pitch long ago supplanted any on-field conflicts in this soapy drama, which returns tonight for its fifth series.
We pick up exactly where we left off. Dave is about to go on trial for the attempted murder of his awful brother, Rick. But the two women really responsible for the "accident" that sent Rick sprawling headfirst down the stairs, Geraldine and Rita (the splendid Lorraine Ashbourne and Melanie Hill), are on tenterhooks. Should they go to the police to tell the truth? Of course not, because then we wouldn't have that staple of just about any long-running drama series, the courtroom scene. As you'd expect, there's absolutely no decorum as the two sides of the family alternately rant and simmer. Everything explodes when the paternity of Geraldine's baby is publicly called into question from the witness box.
Honestly, you have to wonder why these women bother with men at all, though presumably it's because they are incapable of independent life and need emotional sustenance in their attachment to rotten fellas. Soap lovers will recognise this as the Bet Lynch school of romantic liaisons.
We do actually get to see a bit of football among all these eruptions, but it's incidental. And what little we do see is dominated by another rotten fella, the abusive and sexist team coach. (Again, why do they put up with this?)
Fans of the series will rejoice at its return, and anyone who loves high melodrama would do well to tune in.

A Rough Justice special, presented by Kirsty Wark, shedding new light upon the case of Oliver Campbell, a young man with severe learning difficulties and physical disabilities who was sentenced to life for the murder of an off-licence owner during a robbery in London's East End in July 1990 - the prosecution's main evidence being a baseball cap found near the crime scene that was allegedly owned by Campbell.

Thriller starring Anthony LaPaglia as ex-government agent and master of disguise Willie Serling. Still haunted by the murder of his wife and daughter, Serling is given the chance of revenge when he's asked to infiltrate the drugs operation of the man responsible for the killings. Review page 48.
