Britannia
9pm, Sky Atlantic
A third series for Jez Butterworth’s daft but engaging semi-historical drama. Three years have passed since the Roman invasion and things seem to be settling down. David Morrissey’s Aulus is certain he has Druid head honcho Veran (Mackenzie Crook) over a barrel – and he’s letting him know, in a manner that may come back to haunt him. Meanwhile, Cait is considering her next move. As ever, Britannia’s tone is uneven, but it retains a profane, unpredictable and manic edge that is very much its saving grace. Phil Harrison
