ROBERT GALBRAITH (SPHERE, £30) Cancel all your plans, as here’s the annual 900-page doorstopper from Galbraith, which again combines a fiendish mystery with the deliciously tangled (and maddening) will they/won’t they romantic lives of private investigators Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott.

Ex-EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley was every inch the blushing bride at her wedding to long-time partner Mark Perez. The actress, 49, looked very different to her feisty matriarch character Karen, who she plays in the BBC soap. She tied the knot in Hertfordshire, before the newly weds enjoyed the first part of their honey moon at Champneys Spa in Forest Mere. ‘We did it!!!! I married my best friend. I love you so much @mark y p1977,’ she wrote on Instagram. ‘It really was the best day ever!!! Thank you to everyone who shared our special day with us, we felt the love. My heart is full.’ In a bid to look her best for the big day, Lorraine – who is mum to 10-year-old Nancy with partner of 11…

heat helps you win at life We’ve all been there. One moment you’re devouring junk food, the next you’re committing to a hardcore juice cleanse and swearing off carbs for good. But that initial buzz rarely lasts, and before you know it, the motivation’s fizzled and you’re back to square one. Psychotherapist Anna Mathur knows this cycle only too well, and after years of swinging between extremes, she decided there had to be a better way. In her book The Good Decision Diary, Anna shares the mindset shifts and simple strategies that helped her break free from the guilt and pressure of ‘all or nothing ’. She says, ‘It ’s less about perfection and more about ma king choices that actually work with real life – messy, unpredictable, and totally…

What was it about Coldwater that got you on board? Well, the truth is, I got sent the scripts and I loved it. It made me laugh in all the wrong places, squirm with recognition, and constantly surprised me. It scared me, as well. I was quite scared about playing a character that was so unpleasant, weak and emasculated. I wasn’t quite sure tonally where it sat, so I said no twice! And then I had a lovely chat with [writer] David [Ireland], and I couldn’t walk away from it. What did you make of your character, John? He’s quite different to Rick Grimes… A bit of a palate cleanser, yes! What I liked about John was that I thought, ‘This is going to be frightening, it’s going to be…

U&GOLD, FRIDAY 19 SEPTEMBER, 9PM Arguably the greatest UK sitcom of all time, Fawlty Towers was recently turned into a stage play by its co-creator and star John Cleese.

Sky Max/NOW, Fridays, 9pm You don’t necessarily expect a lot from a spin-off of a remake. But in this case, we are talking about The Office, the American version of which turned out to be one of the best and most successful sitcoms of recent times. This series is set in the same universe as the US Office, with one character – put-upon accountant Oscar Nuñez -actually migrating from that show to this one. The cunning concept of The Paper is that the Dunder Mifflin paper company from The Office has been sold to another firm called Enervate, and now their main products are the local newspaper and… toilet tissue, with the latter getting more kudos from the owners than the former. And the documentary crew who filmed the goings-on…

And our source reveals, ‘Jeff was as shocked as anyone when he found out he was set to become a grandad. But now it’s sunk in, he’s really excited.

Netflix, Thursday 18 September When you hear the basic description of this show’s premise – a wayward brother returns to reunite with his sibling who happens to run a big city restaurant – you’d be forgiven for thinking it sounds exactly like the Disney+ hit The Bear. Especially when the title of both shows is taken from the animal-based name of the fictional restaurants in the respective shows! But once you actually start watching this impressive eight-parter, you soon realise the tone of the two series is very different indeed, and the stakes in this story are even higher. SUPER TALENTS This is also a drama that has an extraordinary array of talent involved, both on screen and off. Jude Law plays Jake Friedken, the charming, ambitious owner of the…
