This new BBC political thriller makes for riveting Sunday night viewing

“A drama about an ambitious Conservative politician might not sound like escapist TV in this current climate,” says Stylist’s entertainment director Helen Bownass. “But new BBC series Roadkill is a gripping and intriguing look at power and corruption, with the added benefit of a stellar cast.” Created by David Hare (The Hours, Collateral), the much-anticipated four-part thriller centres on Peter Laurence (the inimitable Hugh Laurie), a narcissistic and self-made minister with his eye on the top political prize. But things begin to unravel when scandals about Laurence’s professional and personal life are uncovered, much to his chagrin.

Happily, there are plenty of powerful women in the mix too, including Prime Minister Dawn Ellison, played by Helen McCrory (Peaky Blinders), vengeful journalist Charmian Pepper (Normal People’s Sarah Greene) and barrister Rochelle Madeley, played by Pippa Bennett-Warner (Gangs Of London). Prepare to get totally drawn in. Roadkill starts 18 October, 9pm, BBC One

Glossier’s latest body launches are here to save your parched autumn limbs

Cold weather, cranked-up heating and multiple layers of loungewear can all result in skin that looks and feels a bit meh – which is why the two brand new additions to Glossier’s Body Hero range are perfectly timed. Designed to be used together, the Exfoliating Bar (£12) and Dry Touch Oil Mist (£24) aim to revive rough upper arms and scaly shins, leaving you with baby-soft skin.

“I enjoyed the novelty of the solid pink exfoliating bar, which will sit pretty in any bathroom,” says Stylist’s beauty editor Lucy Partington. “Made with bamboo powder, it’s gentle but effective while still being environmentally friendly. It can be a bit slippery, but the super-fine scrubby element makes up for it. Paired with the radiance-boosting body oil – which really is dry touch, with a neroli-orange scent that’s more creamy than zesty – my lunchtime shower spa session was seriously good.” Anything Glossier launches turns to gold, and these new additions are no different.
