What’s coming new to BBC iPlayer this week?
The Outlaws
With crime boss The Dean behind bars, The Outlaws are moving on with their lives – but Rani’s shock return and the discovery of a dead body sends them hurtling back into mortal danger.
Radio 1’s Big Weekend
Radio 1 is taking over Stockwood Park in Luton. If you’re not going to be there, don’t worry because you can keep up with the party right from the comfort of your home, with performances from the likes of Coldplay, Charli XCX and Raye.
The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan
Reluctant globetrotter Romesh gives up the five-star treatment and travels way beyond his comfort zone to some of the world’s most unlikely holiday destinations. In the new series Romesh travels to Uganda, Rwanda and Madagascar to find out what each place has to offer.
The FA Cup Final
Gary Lineker hosts live coverage of the FA Cup final between holders Manchester City and twelve-time winners Manchester United at Wembley.
This is the first time since 1885 that the FA Cup final will be contested by the same two clubs in consecutive years. City were victorious 12 months ago, thanks to two goals from captain Ilkay Gundogan either side of a penalty converted by United captain Bruno Fernandes.
Erik ten Hag’s side – who reached a record 22nd final following a tight penalty shoot-out victory against Coventry City in the semi-finals – are aiming to win the competition for a 13th time, while another City success will be their third FA Cup trophy in the last six seasons and eighth overall.
Clive Myrie’s Caribbean Adventure
From the vibrant streets of Cuba to the beautiful beaches of Barbados, Clive explores his family roots – and celebrates the energy, creativity and joy of a place close to paradise.
He begins by heading east towards the wild beauty of Jamaica’s longest mountain range, and catches up with his sister, Judith, who has recently moved from the UK to live on the island.

The Famous Five
It’s late August 1939 and George comes across the Great Supremo who is on the run from malevolent pursuers. She manages to convince her cousins that they should protect him and the Five hide him in their den where he tells them about a powerful treasure he guards, the Eye of the Sunrise.
But the Five’s promise proves impossible to keep as Dr Rosamund Graves and her burly assistant Bradley arrive from the local psychiatric institute to take Supremo away. He’s not just a magician, he’s a psychiatric patient. Can the Five trust anything he says?
