This is the best summary I could come up with:

TV judge Rob Rinder is investigating a world of riots, brutal regimes and infamous hangmen in this eye-opening three-parter telling the tale of Britain’s prisons.

When a middle-aged woman is found shot dead, DNA tests reveal her identity: Anne Holgate, who went missing on her way home from school 38 years ago.

Mahler’s muscular Symphony No 5 is preceded by Timotheus, Bacchus and Cecilia, a recent James MacMillan composition here bolstered by the Hallé youth choirs that have become part of Elder’s legacy.

They are collaborating on the new Deadpool film, but actor Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy first joined forces for this effortlessly enjoyable comedy thriller.

Reynolds plays Guy, an NPC (non-playable character) in a GTA-style video game who develops self-awareness when he falls for the avatar of Jodie Comer’s Millie – her programmer is surreptitiously exploring his virtual world to try to prove her AI code was stolen.

There’s a lot of fun had ribbing gaming culture – the overgrown kids who participate, the gratuitous violence, the inept players (keep on eye on the background for some choice examples) – while Reynolds’s innate charm and wit keep it all running smoothly.
