Over the hottest British summer since records began, the notion of rain (what is that?), chilly nights, indulgent knitwear and cosying up in front of the telly felt very far away. But the leaves have started to fall from the trees, and the new season is officially here, bringing with it a terrific roster of dramas, comedies and reality TV.
