Bad Sisters and Reunion star Anne-Marie Duff's mystery thriller Before I Go to Sleep will air on TV tonight, although ironically it's on so late that it might be after you go to sleep.
The 2014 film follows a woman who has been suffering from retrograde amnesia following an incident that nearly ended her life. She works with a neuroscientist to try and recover her memories, but some things she remembers – or, at least, seems to remember – don't line up with what her husband is telling her.
Is there something sinister going on, and if so, will she be able to get to the bottom of it?
As well as Duff, the film stars Mark Strong and Game of Thrones' Dean-Charles Chapman, while Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth play the leads.
Before I Go to Sleep is being shown on BBC One at 00.10am tonight, or the early hours of tomorrow morning if you prefer. The film will be added to BBC iPlayer after broadcast, where it will be available to stream.

For those who can't wait until tonight, the film is also available to watch now on Netflix and Prime Video in the UK.
Before I Go to Sleep didn't have the greatest reception from critics when it first released, landing a 36% on Rotten Tomatoes from 118 collected reviews.
Looking at the reviews that praised the film, the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that the movie "is smartly constructed to keep an audience guessing at every moment" and the performances are "consistent with the truth as revealed".

Writing for The Observer (sister paper of The Guardian), Mark Kermode called the film "enjoyably preposterous" with "top-notch" performances from its main cast members.
"Kidman conveys both tremulous uncertainty and creeping paranoia with aplomb; Colin Firth twists his understated screen charm to deliciously subversive ends," he wrote.
In a slightly more mixed review, The Detroit News said that the film had "an old-fashioned sense of tension" and while "it isn't Hitchcock[,] it will do".
Before I Go to Sleep airs tonight/early hours of tomorrow on BBC One. The film is now available to stream on Netflix and Prime Video.
