Twin Peaks (Sky Atlantic, Monday/NOW TV) is back after 25 years

But the return of the most bonkers TV drama ever made. This is not said lightly. The show is called Twin Peaks (Sky Atlantic, Monday/NOW TV), and it’s back after 25 years. 

The first two episodes of David Lynch’s utterly bizarre offering were broadcast in the early hours of Monday here to coincide with the US transmission. If you watched then, I do hope you didn’t try to sleep afterwards. The new Twin Peaks has topped the scale in nightmares and you won’t have rested comfortably. 

It’s like Alice In Wonderful with brutal killings and decapitated corpses but with barely a comforting slice of the talked about cherry pie. Scary pie, yes. It would probably be laced with LSD because this was the trippiest TV offering since The Magic Roundabout and backed with a soundtrack to lull you into thinking that what we know as “reality” has gone. It’s almost an appealing thought.

What can we say for certain? Very little. FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) has returned in two, possibly three, forms. 

In one he’s watching and occasionally communicating with characters who speak like Max Headroom on a dodgy video link from Moscow. This is not a good thing, at any time of the day. One piece of fact emerged: “Remember 430”. I immediately wrote this down and now share it with you in case my own whereabouts suddenly become unknown. 

It’s obviously a ticket for a very busy dry cleaners used by a killer, so keep it safe. 

His clothes will be evidence.

Then we had longer-haired Agent Cooper: a desperate, determined, soul who looked a little like his “rock god” namesake Alice. He was a bad boy, brutally killing a bikini-clad girl in a motel room who was merely trying to be friendly. He rewarded her by holding a pillow over her head and shooting her with a handgun. There’s gratitude for you.

Kyle MacLachlan as Dale Cooper

He seems to be in a race against time, and by the end of episode two was heading to Buckhorn, South Dakota. This is where another plot line is developing involving a headteacher who, in a nightmare he says, has killed a local librarian, separating her head from her body when she wasn’t looking.

You will be delighted to learn this is the most watchable story of the two-and-a-quarter hour offering. It appeared a straightforward murder-mystery but, of course, nothing is ever what you see here. That’s part of the appeal. With Lynch’s work you either go with the madness or not. 

Each time I thought about turning it off, I just couldn’t. It must make sense eventually, I thought. There is, of course, no guarantee. 

The recurring line in the first two episodes is “something is missing”. The audience will wholeheartedly agree with this but something might also keep dragging you back.

In the most surreal of scenes, a young man continues to peer unemotionally into an empty glass box in a New York apartment under the instructions of a mystery billionaire who is filming him. We have no idea why. 

But “meaning” is so over-rated. David Lynch would no doubt agree.

At least we know where we are with Martin Shaw. One of TV’s best actors, his Inspector George Gently (BBC1, Sunday) returned with two further, feature-length, episodes. Set in Newcastle in 1970, the background theme was the rights of women and domestic violence.

Unlike ITV’s Prime Suspect 1973, which bludgeoned you over the head with the issue, this story treated the viewer as someone who might have lived through the 1970s and knew exactly what was going on. But it was also nice to be reminded of the ground-breaking changes that were happening. 

A constable walked into Gently’s with a morning drink for his inspector, announcing: “It’s frothy coffee from the machine. It’s Italian!” Remember when that was a treat? There was abstract art, too, in the art school where the daughter of the victim was working. Weren’t they interesting times?

But there was real change happening in the drama. Lorcan Cranitch’s police boss told Gently the words he really didn’t want to hear: “You need to set a date for your retirement.” But as we know, it’s the single detective who is really facing his demise across television.

All the while, his sidekick Lee Ingleby was seeking “answers in the bottom of a glass”. 

His own spin-off, a la Lewis, looks unlikely. 

A fine episode of drama with an extraordinary performance from Shaw and Victoria Bewick, who played the wife of the victim, Marion Liddell. The final episode has now been delayed indefinitely, apparently, due to a politically sensitive plot line. More and more intriguing.

Finally, there was a merry dance, literally, 

in barmy Grantchester (ITV, Sunday). Malcontented vicar James Norton took himself off to a Romany camp where there was the prospect of a 1950s’ slimline big fat gypsy wedding. Sidney attended the engagement party as he tried to extract money from his housekeeper’s thieving estranged husband (Charlie Higson). 

The former The Fast Show man is now marketing himself as a bit-part bad boy. And very good he is, too. Alas, the party ended in typical style with someone opting for a shotgun wedding. In the next episode Sidney threatens to decamp to the seaside town of Mablethorpe on the Lincolnshire coast, in an episode that should be entitled, “See a vicar on a donkey”.

The Hebburn star, who plays Rachel Coles in the BBC detective show, joked to press including Express.co.uk at a screening for the latest episode about how her needs as a mother would effect her costumes. 

“I think sometimes my boobs would get bigger and the costume girl would come down and say, ‘Oh do you need to express?’ Watch out for it throughout!” the 34-year-old joked. 

Her character will also become closer to George (played by Martin Shaw) in the final two episodes as she comes to represent a female energy in his life after his wife Isabella (Maria Tecce) died. 

Martin explained the input Rachel will have on the inspector in the episodes to come, saying: “He becomes close to Lisa’s character. 

“He needs a bit of an emotional crutch and that comes out in the second episode. 

“George having lost his wife, adopts John as his son, Rachel is his daughter and she is the replacement for the lack of female energy in his life, especially now his ‘son’ is a s***bag!” the 72-year-old explained. 

Martin also explained how the final two episodes will provide a resolution to the show. 

He teased: “You need to end with a symphony, with a proper big chord, and what we needed was an ending where everyone would say, ‘Phew, that’s over now’.

“It is moving, tragic and sad. It’s certainly going to be moving because we go deeper into Gently’s untouched grief,”  he explained. 

Inspector George Gently returns to BBC One tonight at 8:30pm.

As you get older, colonoscopies become an important part of maintaining your health, allowing doctors to spot potentially fatal diseases like colon cancer before they progress too far. So medical researchers are hoping to make the procedure safer, and slightly less invasive, using a tiny capsule that’s remotely steered around using a magnet outside your body.

A colonoscopy typically involves a device called a colonoscope, a half-inch thick cable with a camera and light on the end, that enters a patient through the rectum in order to access and examine their large intestine. The patient is usually sedated during the mostly pain-free procedure, but as the colonoscope is pushed through the digestive tract, the physical pressure on the colon can result in pain or soreness during recovery.

In an attempt to streamline the procedure, and make it less invasive, medical researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of Leeds have co-developed a first-of-its-kind capsule robot, 18-millimeters in diameter, that can be pulled and maneuvered through a patient’s large intestine using a robotic arm that manipulates a powerful magnet on the outside. If you’ve every dragged a coin around a table by holding a magnet underneath it, you understand the basic idea here, which was presented Monday at the Digestive Disease Week conference in Chicago.

The capsule’s tether, which facilitates power and the camera’s live video feed, is significantly thinner than a traditional endoscope, making it less invasive. But the scope remains just as maneuverable, letting doctors still perform a thorough examination.

However, the biggest improvement here is that the capsule is pulled through the large intestine by the robot arm’s magnet, instead of being pushed by a doctor. This reduces the pressure and physical exertion on the colon walls, minimizing pain or discomfort afterwards. There’s the possibility that patients won’t have to be put under during the procedure, which would mean less recovery time.

So far, the capsule has only been tested and remotely steered through a pig’s large intestine, but the researchers are hoping to start human trials closer to the end of 2018. That means it will still be quite a few years before this technology is finally made available to proctologists. In the meantime, if you’re due for a colonoscopy, you should just grin and bear it, as the alternative of ignoring your intestines could be much, much worse.

Tiny food is a blessing in this world, managing to be both calming and exciting at the same time. (Because it’s just! So! Small!) But if you’re going to have a plate of tiny bacon and eggs to start your week (or maybe even some tiny donuts), you need one thing to go with it: a very tiny cup of coffee.

The video above from artist and designer Lucas Zonatto shows a cup being made from just a single coffee bean. The bean is ground up using a nail file; the water is boiled with a tealight candle; and then it’s a simple pourover filter — just like you’d make at home, if you were 15 inches tall.

It is, of course, an advert, for Finnish coffee and cocoa company Paulig, but that doesn’t stop it being charming. And if you need a gentle, relaxing way to start your week — and one that doesn’t ignore your persistent caffeine addiction — this is the way to go
