High Country
9pm, BBC Two
One of the pleasures of this sturdy Australian crime drama about a city cop adjusting to a rural Victoria beat is seeing Sheriff Andie (Leah Purcell) moseying around on horseback like a cowboy hero of old. In the opening of another double bill, she rides out into the dense wilderness and stumbles on a drug operation. High country, indeed. Graeme Virtue

Film Choice
Wicked Little Letters, out now, Netflix
When a series of anonymous poison pen letters are sent to prim coastal town resident Edith (Olivia Colman), suspicion immediately falls on her neighbour Rose (Jessie Buckley), an Irish single mother with a boisterous, proto-feminist attitude. There is something inherently hilarious about Colman swearing, and Thea Sharrock’s fact-based 1920s comedy ladles on the creative insults as the writer’s vitriol widens to take in the whole community. Hidden behind the curtain-twitching scandal is a cautionary tale about how the victims of bullying and repression can find distorted outlets for their rage, but watching Colman and Buckley go at it is almost enough in itself.
