TV tonight: a nightmarish thriller about a group of women accused of an awful crime

Hunting Alice Bell is a twisty drama by Peter Bradshaw and David Baddiel. Plus, Ken Loach on Cathy Come Home. Here’s what to watch this evening

Hunting Alice Bell

9pm, Channel 4 Fran (Alexandra Roach) is a suburban mum working at a leisure centre. When she makes a video for her work’s website, it goes viral for the wrong reasons: trolls believe they have worked out that she is, in fact, Alice Bell, a former nurse who helped her anaesthetist serial killer boyfriend, Jason (Simon Pegg), then resumed life with a new identity. As events unravel, Fran learns she’s not the only woman who has been forced to deny she is Bell. But who is telling the truth? Is one of them lying?
