SS-GB
Sunday, BBC One, 9pm
If you've seen Amazon Prime's The Man in The High Castle, you'll know the premise: what would the US be like if the Axis had won the second World War, and the Nazis were in control of most of the country? Now we might get an idea of what Britain would be like under the Nazis in this new five-part alternative history drama starring Sam Riley and Kate Bosworth. The US series used a Philip K Dick story as its source material; SS-GB digs out a 1978 dystopian novel by Len Deighton for its inspiration, and Riley stars as a London detective whose private life is threatened by his investigation into what appears to be a black market-related murder.
