The Last Wave
9pm, BBC Four
An ominous cloud approaches from over the horizon as the locals of coastal French town Brizan head out to surf for an annual gathering in the opening of this fantasy thriller.

Among them is newly separated mother Lena (Marie Dompnier), who the following night has a nightmare that could provide clues to the harrowing event. Ammar Kalia
