Culprits

Channel: Disney+
TX Time: 00h01

Culprits

Culprits kicks off where most crime stories end: after a high-stakes heist, when the crew of elite criminals have gone their separate ways and have tried to leave their old lives behind.

Past and present collide when a ruthless assassin starts targeting them one by one.

Why are they being stalked, who is behind the mayhem, and will they be able to find one another in time to protect themselves and the people they love?

Joe Petrus is living the American dream: he's a fiancé to Jules, dad to Frankie and Bud, and starting his own business in a sleepy suburban town.

But unbeknownst to his family, Joe has a secret.

Three years ago, Joe was recruited by notorious British criminal Dianne Harewood to join her crew and take part in a high-stakes crime – one that promised to make Joe rich and provide him with a brand new life.

And now, his dangerous past is about to catch up with him.

When a killer starts targeting the crew behind the crime, Joe realises that the only way to keep his family safe is to return to London, make contact with his old gang, and track down Dianne.

Two worlds collide in an idyllic German tourist town: a group of mysterious Dutchmen around their eccentric leader Xennt want to take over the vast NATO bunker under the town.

He promises the small village a prosperous future and hundreds of jobs.

But some residents are worried and rumours spread through the village: is Xennt, the charismatic man with long blond hair and a black leather coat, actually a ruthless criminal on the run who wants to turn the bunker into a stronghold for drug trafficking?

The people of Traben-Trarbach turn to the police - but in vain: despite all warnings, the bunker is sold.

Xennt and his gang entrench themselves hundreds of metres underground and call their new home CyberBunker 2.0.

TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Drama

The Responder

Written by ex-police officer Tony Schumacher, his first original series for television, The Responder holds a mirror up to the emotional extremes of life on the front line of British policing - sometimes darkly funny, sometimes painfully tragic, always challenging.

Whilst trying to keep his head above water both personally and professionally, Chris is forced to take on a new rookie partner Rachel.

Both soon discover that survival in this high pressure, relentless, night-time world will depend on them either helping or destroying each other.

In the series premiere: Chris Carson is struggling - every night he drives a police response car in the city of Liverpool, dealing with everything from warring neighbours to druggies, and he's also suffering from a breakdown brought on by stress at work, and wants to leaves his marriage.

His wife, Kate, offers to pay for more counselling, but Chris rejects her help preferring to sort his own problems out, even though he is reaching breaking point.

When an old school friend, Carl Sweeney, asks him to help find a young heroin addict called Casey, Chris uses his local knowledge to locate her in a hideout in an alleyway.

But when Casey tells him that she has stolen a bag of cocaine and may be in danger, Chris offers to help, seeing a path to redemption in the young woman - if he can save her, perhaps he can save himself.

Carl is furious with Chris for helping Casey escape - the bag of drugs that Casey stole isn't actually his, and if Chris can't help Carl find the bag, they are both in deep trouble.

Robbie Williams

After 25 years of his record-breaking solo career, Robbie looks back on his younger self and reflects on a lifetime spent in the spotlight.

Robbie Williams is one of the world's greatest entertainers.

As he approaches 50, a dad of four with a loving wife and a young family, he's also somewhere near content.

Been there, done that, settled and happy.

But Robbie can't escape his past — and his past has all been captured on film in thousands of hours of behind-the-scenes footage he has never seen.

Until now.

Robbie's way of exorcising his demons is to go back through every single frame, every up and every down.

Platinum albums, sell-out gigs, adoring crowds; drink, drugs, rock bottom and whatever comes next when you get there and you can't stop digging.

This is a story of unimaginable fame at a tender age — and the price you pay.
