Un Amore

9pm, Sky Atlantic

Unable to ignore the still-glowing embers of their scorching teenage summer romance, Alessandro and Anna fall into one another’s arms once again.

Whitstable Pearl

9pm, Drama

“The death of a diabetic estate agent force-fed marmalade” is an unbeatable plotline for a cosy crime drama. As Kerry Godliman’s restaurateur/private detective Pearl Nolan links the above murder to a mysterious influx of cash to the Kent coastal town she calls home, another agreeably inessential episode comes and goes. Jack Seale

The cult 1989 Patrick Swayze film about a bouncer cleaning up a rough town gets an entertainingly breezy, brutal remake from Doug Leman. The amiable Jake Gyllenhaal rolls with the (many, many) punches as Dalton, a down-on-his-luck former UFC champion whose last chance saloon is a Key West bar run by Frankie (Jessica Williams). It’s a lawless place but he’s a calm and efficient operator. But then he comes up against thugs run by shady businessman Ben Brandt (Billy Magnussen), not least the unhinged Knox – played with a comic swagger by actual UFC fighter Conor McGregor.
