BLACK DOVES
FROM THURSDAY 5 DECEMBER, NETFLIX THRILLER
Queen of period dramas Keira Knightley is swapping corsets for covert operations in a new Christmas-set spy thriller, which also stars Happy Valley's Sarah Lancashire as we've never seen her before...
Brimming with action, dry humour and festive London charm, Netflix six-parter Black Doves follows Helen Webb (played by Keira), who's a domestic goddess to her politician husband, Conservative Minister of State for Defence Wallace Webb (Broadchurch's Andrew Buchan), and devoted mother to their young twins, Oliver and Jacqueline.
But Helen is harbouring dark secrets: not only is she a professional spy, but for 10 years, she's been stealing Government information from Wallace for a private espionage organisation called Black Doves.
What's more, she's been having an affair and her lover, Jason Davies (The Innocents star Andrew Koji), is murdered as the series begins. Is her cover about to be blown?

Shona KIDNAPPED!
David Platt thought he was proper clever when he nabbed the bag of dirty cash that Damon Hay had left for Sarah - with the unexpected windfall, he was able to buy No.8 from Gail. He's not quite so smug now, though, is he? The money, it transpired, belonged to Harvey Gaskell, Damon's brother, and the incarcerated gangster wants it back. With interest. Harvey has already made threats to David, via his stooges on the outside, and this week he ups the ante and has Shona kidnapped.
