Tonight in HD: April 26

SoHo Highlight: Top Boy (Sky 10, 8.30) In part three of four about drug trafficking on an East London housing estate, time is running out for Dushane and Sully to find Kamale and repay their debt to Raikes, Ra’Nell turns to Leon to help Gem, and Heather dreams of her new life. As The Arts Desk observed: “[Creator Ronan] Bennett’s feat is that he hasn’t written Top Boy as a liberal cri de cœur or a Hackney social workers’ manifesto. He has simply depicted a hideously believable environment and peopled it with brutally plausible characters, to the point where you could cry at the realisation that chunks of our dilapidated nation really look like this. Inventive colour grading and Brian Eno’s coolly evocative music lend the project a cinematic weight.” Or, as The Times put it: “This is the world behind the headlines, where stabbings and shootings are the currency of everyday life. The riots that took place in the summer were accompanied by all manner of soul-searching about a broken Britain. Well, here it is. Dramas such as this, which address the wreckage of Britain in human terms and focus on real people rather than ‘those people’, are a small step towards a solution.” ✮✮✮✮
