Poisoned: Killer in the Post

9pm, Channel 4
On New Year’s Day 2023, 25-year-old Imogen “Immy” Nunn’s body was found in her Brighton home, after she had consumed a poison bought online via a suicide forum. This unsettling two-part documentary shows that Immy was one of many who had used the sites. It looks at the devastating conversations in the forum and meets the families of other victims, with one father reading his son’s last posts and the replies from users who cheered him on as he was dying. It then follows the Times journalist James Beal’s efforts to find a man accused of shipping this lethal poison globally, which culminates in Beal going undercover and meeting him face to face. (The man is now awaiting trial in Canada over similar allegations.) Hollie Richardson

The silly supernatural sitcom feels more like background TV than its British cousin, but it’s still plenty of fun. In this triple bill, a belated wedding gift (a children’s dinosaur bed, no less) brings the exes Isaac and Nigel back together, before Jay’s disapproving folks descend on Woodstone Manor for Christmas.

Don’t Look Now (Nicolas Roeg, 1973), midnight, BBC Two
BBC Two’s week of trying to creep everyone out before bed continues with the scariest film ever made. Nicolas Roeg’s 1973 Daphne du Maurier adaptation is a disorientating swirl of creeping dread. Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie play a grief-stricken couple who travel to Venice and find themselves plagued by malevolent clairvoyants and terrifying sightings. The final sequence, in which Sutherland follows a figure through the city, is as nightmarish as anything you will ever see. Stuart Heritage
