Our Girl BBC One Wednesday 9pm
A ton of money has clearly been thrown at the new army drama Our Girl, now in its second season.
Last time put it was set in Afghanistan with a different female lead.
While the location has changed to Kenya - as well as the lead character from a former Eastenders to a former Coronation Street actress - there's still lots of helicopter action, gun battles and bomb blasts, which all adds up to a slick drama with maximum effort to make it totally realistic.
But they've failed on one key ingredient, Michelle Keegan who plays army medic Georgie Lane is just too good looking.
This week's episode saw her dramatically released from a hostage situation after being abducted my Islamic fundamentalists.
She'd previously agreed to the trip having been jilted at the altar by an equally good looking army special forces soldier, who for some reason is called Elvis.
Within days of arriving in Kenya, the medic is kidnapped and among her captor is a Jihadi John type character from east London.
There's a bit of the stereotypical, British army good, rest of the world bad theme going on, but before we start dissecting the questionable politics it's worth remembering it's a drama not the documentary channel.
The second episode was edge of your seat stuff.
Private Lane is locked in a cage by her captor, starved of food and water, they slap her about a bit and then her friend dies tragically in her arms, before a special services unit lead by - you guessed it - her ex fiancé, swoops in and saves her.
She's minging - unwashed, greasy hair, dirty blood stained face - and yet she's still ridiculously, implausibly beautiful. Seriously, in a similar situation any normal woman would look like a bag of rags.
The make up people must have despaired at their complete inability to make her look anything less than stunning.
Michelle Keegan's insane beauty aside and Our Girl is incredibly watchable.
She's actually a cracking actress and has managed to carve out a decent career after soap and she's bucked the trend by not ending up on a celebrity reality show.
If Our Girl is anything to go by it's only a matter of time before Hollywood comes calling.

Great British Bake Off, BBC, One Wednesday 8pm
The ceasefire in Syria and American presidential drama regarding Hillary Clinton's health was overshadowed this week by the shocking news that a baking show has changed channels.
Great British Bake Off was a shock success for the BBC and made huge celebrities out of judges Mary Berry, who has been knocking about since the flood, and Paul Hollywood, the Scouse baker.
It's leaving the BBC for Channel 4 and it's hard to say how that'll work. It'll have adverts for a start which will means you'll have to record it so you can forward past them. Does anyone still watch adverts?
I watch almost all cooking programmes, observing people chop and whisk is how I push all the other more stressful information out of my head.
While the absurdity of watching people bake in a tent isn't lost on me, the mundane gentleness of GBBO is comforting.
The producers cunningly bring contestants from all walks of life and locations to maximise viewer interest.
There is always at least one Northern Ireland contestant, this year he's easily identified by being ginger with skin the colour of cold porridge. I like that, it's how I know to say hello to other Irish people on holiday.
I hope Channel 4 doesn't mess with the format too much but suspect there'll be a phone-in element in order to claw back their investment.
When you start spending money to vote for your favourite scone, that's when it's time to get a new hobby.
