Panorama – Baby P: The Whole Truth? 8:30pm, BBC1

Reporter Alison Holt has further shocking revelations on the case of Baby P, the baby boy who died while under the care of social workers in Haringey, London.

It was and still is a shocking case and this documentary is sure to be emotive and hard to watch, but if keeping this case in the public spotlight stops this happening again, then it’s worth it.

Compulsion, 9:00pm, ITV1

This new drama is about a beautiful young woman with every privilege… except freedom. The drama also includes a despised older man consumed by obsession, but are they the key to each other’s salvation or destruction?

Ray Winstone and Parminder Nagra star in this tragic story of desire and lust which is loosely based on the Jacobean tragedy ‘The Changeling’ by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley.

Anjika Indrani is a modern girl with the world at her feet. Having just finished her degree at Cambridge and in a happy relationship with fellow graduate Alex, she returns in triumph for a lavish celebratory party at the home of her rich Indian industrialist father.

However, Anjika feels like her life has ended when her father, Satvik, announces that he intends for Anjika to marry Hardik, the son of a business associate. Anjika rails against the unfairness of it; her feckless, party-going brother Jaiman is allowed to do whatever he wants, so why can’t she? Tune in to find out!

For the first time, Gerry McCann returns to Apartment 5a of the Ocean Club complex, where he last saw his daughter. Also returning to Portugal are Jane Tanner and Matthew Oldfield, two friends from the group known as the ‘Tapas 7′, who were on holiday with the McCanns at the time.

Again, this is an excellent film and really, really gruesome!

While traveling in a trailer to California through the New Mexico Desert, a family is misled into taking a shortcut by the owner of an isolated gas station. Where they end up – with a broken down car – is the middle of nowhere and a very scary place, as they’re about to find out when they’re attacked by a group of deformed cannibals who are the resulting children affected by the nuclear tests conducted by USA from 1945 to 1962 in that spot. Absolutely trapped by the psychotics, they have to fight to survive.

Seriously, don’t watch it alone! Here’s the trailer…

The Amityville Horror, 10:05pm, ITV4

Like the Lost Boys, this is a classic horror film and again, in my opinion one of the best horror films ever made.

Based on a supposedly true story, The Amityville Horror is about a large house on the coast of Long Island into which newlyweds George and Kathy Lutz and their three children move.

Despite full disclosure of the house’s history by the real estate agent, George and Kathy buy the house. George says, “Houses don’t have memories,” but they’re soon to find out that this house had more than memories…

They turn to priest Father Delaney who performs an exorcism on the house but the evil spirit there causes him to become blind and desperately ill. George and Kathy enlist the help of another priest, Father Bolen, and a police detective as they face the full horrors the house has to disclose… Epic film! Here’s the trailer…

That’s it for our Primetime Picks this week. Have a great Bank Holiday weekend and we’ll see you here again next week!
