From the familiar skin\u2011deep drama of its flagship soaps to a mix of quiz shows, reality\u2011drama and a late\u2011night action film, there\u2019s something for every mood. Below is our rundown, including the show we believe you can\u2019t miss and why.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:18px; margin-top:20px;\">Soap\u2011Stirred Drama \u2013 Coronation Street<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12px;\">The 19:30\u201120:00 slot brings <strong>Coronation Street<\/strong>, the long\u2011running staple that never fails to deliver surprise twists.
