Sunday Night on U&Drama: The Bill, Silent Witness & Classic Thrillers

If you’re looking for a Sunday evening that blends drama, mystery and romance, U&Drama delivers a full‑stack menu. Below is a quick rundown of the key shows, times (London BST), and why they’re worth your attention.

The Bill – Back‑to‑Back Episodes (06:00–10:35 BST)

Three consecutive episodes of the long‑running police series line up from 06:00 to 10:35. The latest story arcs involve a rape investigation and a tangled web of jealousy. The Bill remains a reliable fixture that delivers steady plot twists without the frantic pacing of today’s high‑stakes thrillers.

Silent Witness – A 2‑Hour Case (20:00–22:15 BST)

From 20:00 to 22:15, the forensic team tackles a mysterious surgeon’s murder. DNA evidence points to a patient under anaesthetic – a classic Silent Witness puzzle that still holds up well for fans of methodical crime‑solving.

New Tricks – London Underground (22:15–23:35 BST)

Ned and Sasha investigate a film critic’s body found in a sewer. This episode’s mix of humor and investigation makes New Tricks one of the better options for a late‑night break from heavier dramas.

The Nora Roberts Collection – Thriller (11:35–13:30 BST)

A 1‑hour‑55‑minute thriller featuring Alicia Witt and Scott Bakula. An arson investigator haunted by a childhood trauma becomes the target of a stalker obsessed with fire. It’s still entertaining for those who enjoy psychological tension.

Catherine Cookson: The Glass Virgin (13:30–17:00 BST)

A 3‑hour‑30‑minute romantic drama set in 1870s England where Annabella learns tough lessons when her father’s debts catch up. Classic Cookson storytelling provides a reliable, heartfelt anchor for viewers looking for something slower paced.

Hetty Wainthropp Investigates – Village Mysteries (17:00–19:00 BST)

Two episodes featuring the 60‑year‑old sleuth tackle quiet village secrets. Hetty’s methodical approach keeps the mystery engaging without rushing the plot.

Birds of a Feather – Comedy (06:10–06:40 BST)

A short 30‑minute comedy about two sisters visiting their husbands in prison. It offers a quick laugh before the heavier drama starts.

Bottom line: U&Drama’s Sunday lineup offers a solid mix of police intrigue, forensic science, thriller tension, and classic romance. Pick a show that matches your mood, or sample a bit from each for a full night of varied entertainment.
