Arlo Parks, Kings of Leon, Sleaford Mods
Later... with Jools Holland returns to BBC Two for a special six-part winter series continuing in lockdown form, which sees Jools opening the doors to his unique south London recording studio, chatting to musicians about their favourite pieces of archive footage and showcasing specially shot performances from a wide variety of artists.
Kicking off the series, Jools welcomes one of this year's most hotly tipped artists, singer-songwriter Arlo Parks. She performs a track from her critically acclaimed album Collapsed in Sunbeams, a beautiful collection of songs touching on themes of mental health and sexuality. She also discusses her musical journey, loves and influences, as illustrated by classic clips from Later...
Continuing the theme of unique performances in interesting locations, the show marks the much-awaited return of Nashville rockers Kings of Leon with an exclusive performance from the band's studio. Having made their TV debut on the show back in 2003, it is a very welcome return for the global headlining outfit. They debut The Bandit from their forthcoming eighth album When You See Yourself, set for release in March.
And the show sees the return of Nottingham's polemical frontman Jason Williamson and dexterous producer Andrew Fearn, aka Sleaford Mods. They have a specially shot performance, featuring newcomer Billy Nomates, of their new single Mork n Mindy, which Williamson describes as ‘the sound of the central heating and the dying smells of Sunday dinner in a house on an estate in 1982'.

Bookish
London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for this stylish new detective drama, with the eccentric Gabriel Book at the very heart of the story: a self-appointed consultant detective to the local police. The thousands of books that line the shelves of his shop provide him with all the knowledge he needs.
Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie runs the wallpaper shop next door. She's a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a 'lavender' marriage to help conceal Book's sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.
Bookish marries post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times, creating a fast-paced and stylish detective drama.
