The Grand Tour (Amazon Prime)
The Grand Tour is back with its third and final season before its hosts call it a day - well, kind of. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are said to be hanging up their television hats after 17 years hosting The Grand Tourand hit series Top Gear before it. After this, they'll still deliver a handful of big-budget specials for Amazon but this is the last of the trio as you know them. As such, season three promises more chaos, drama, laughs and action than ever before. The first episode is on Amazon now, with new episodes available on Fridays.
If you love true crime, this one is definitely for you. This documentary follows the insane case of Keith Doolin, who was sentenced to death in 1996 for two murders and four attempted murders. But with a corrupt lawyer, a dodgy investigation and a key witness who was later convicted of murder, did he get a fair trial? New evidence has come to light that could set Keith free, but he's already spent 20 years on death row and time is running out. Can he and his team get the evidence they need to save his life? Find out next Friday.
