Inside The Langham: Britain’s First Grand Hotel follows at 3:55am: Michel Roux sets the kitchen a Michelin-star challenge while the hotel’s managing director scopes out a new property in Venice. The soothing Unwind with ITV takes over at 4:20am, and a repeat Tom Kerridge Cooks Italy at 5:35am has Tom in Puglia making passata before turning to pomegranate dishes, ahead of breakfast programming.

Good Morning Britain runs from 6am, then This Morning fills the late-morning slot from 10am through to the lunchtime and regional news.

ITV1 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV1 primetime line-up for tonight, Thursday 13 August 2026.

ITV News London — ITV1, 6pm

ITV News London brings the regional headlines and weather.

ITV Evening News — ITV1, 6:30pm

ITV Evening News is listed running the full hour to 7:30pm tonight, with no separate regional bulletin at 7pm — the schedule steps straight from the news into Tom Kerridge Cooks Italy.

Tom Kerridge Cooks Italy — ITV1, 7:30pm

A new episode, “Chestnuts & Pasta”, sends Tom Kerridge Cooks Italy into the Apennines to dig into chestnuts before he heads to Trentino for a pasta lesson, turning both into plates worth copying at home.

Emmerdale — ITV1, 8pm

Emmerdale has Kev celebrating and Billy set on a course nobody’s going to talk him out of, while Dylan finally admits to April how much he’s been struggling.

Coronation Street — ITV1, 8:30pm

In Coronation Street, Sally comes home to find that Tim has offered Richie’s daughter Lucy a place to stay without asking her. Harry pushes back on Kit’s childcare plan, and Leanne hears from Nick and Toyah about the bullying Idris has been dishing out.

The Chase Around the World — ITV1, 9pm

A new The Chase Around the World lands in Zurich, where a team goes up against the Chasers with £100,000 on the table — the further they get, the more they stand to win.

ITV News at Ten — ITV1, 10pm

ITV News at Ten rounds up the day’s main stories.

ITV News London — ITV1, 10:30pm

ITV News London closes out with the regional bulletin.

The night ends with Quantum of Solace (2008). Daniel Craig’s Bond, alongside Olga Kurylenko, works to stop a shadowy organisation closing in on a valuable target in Bolivia.

Popular shows on ITV1

Soaps

Coronation Street is the world’s longest-running soap opera, first broadcast in December 1960 and set in fictional Weatherfield in Greater Manchester. Sixty-five years on it’s still one of ITV’s most-watched programmes. The 2026 move to nightly half-hour episodes cut the wandering subplots and the show is better for it. Emmerdale, set in a Yorkshire Dales village, has run since 1972 and leans on long slow-burn storylines, with the odd plane crash or storm when the ratings need a jolt.

Quizzes and game shows

The Chase is the strongest quiz ITV1 has. Bradley Walsh hosts it, and the six Chasers each have their own following: Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Jenny Ryan and Darragh Ennis. Mine’s Hegerty, for the record. The format has also spawned foreign versions and a celebrity edition.

Tipping Point, ITV1’s other daily quiz, is the simpler of the pair: get a question right, drop a counter into the machine, hope it shoves some money off the shelf. Ben Shephard fronts it.

Entertainment

Britain’s Got Talent returns each spring for its auditions, with Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli on the panel. The live shows pull some of the biggest Saturday-night audiences on linear TV.

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has aired every autumn since 2002. The premise is thin: recognisable faces stuck in a remote camp with nothing to do but bicker and eat insects. It still pulls millions, which says something, though I’m not sure what.

How to watch ITV1 live and on demand

Channel numbers

ITV1 is free-to-air on all of these. The regional version you get is set by the postcode on your account or box setup.

ITVX

ITV1 streams live and free on ITVX at itv.com/watch, and through the ITVX app on smart TVs, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, the Sky boxes, Virgin Media TV360 and most streaming sticks. You need a free ITVX account, just an email and password, no card details.

Most programmes stay on demand for 30 days after broadcast. Emmerdale and Coronation Street go up at 7am on broadcast day, hours before they air on TV.

To watch the live stream you need a TV Licence, the same as watching any live channel online in the UK. On-demand catch-up doesn’t. ITVX is funded by advertising like the channel itself; an optional ITVX Premium subscription strips the ads from on-demand viewing.

ITV1 regions, STV and UTV

ITV1 isn’t one channel but a network of regional licence holders sharing the national schedule and producing their own local news. The bulletins around the ITV Evening News come from whichever licence holder covers your area: ITV London, Granada, ITV Central, Meridian, Yorkshire, Anglia, Border, Tyne Tees, Wales and West Country.

Scotland is the exception. In the centre and north, STV (Scottish Television) holds the channel-3 licence as an independent broadcaster. It runs most of the ITV1 schedule, including Coronation Street, Emmerdale, The Chase and Britain’s Got Talent. But it makes its own news and some of its own drama and factual output, and runs a separate streaming service, STV Player. STV isn’t owned by ITV.

In Northern Ireland the channel-3 licence belongs to UTV (Ulster Television), which carries the network schedule alongside its own local news. UTV is owned by ITV plc. Both STV and UTV sit on channel 3 on Freeview in their regions.

Frequently asked questions

What time are Emmerdale and Coronation Street on ITV1?

Both soaps keep to their weeknight run, Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street straight after at 8:30pm, Monday to Friday, landing on ITVX from 7am the same morning. Weekend episodes happen occasionally.

What’s on ITV1 tonight?

The soaps are back in their usual spots: Emmerdale at 8pm, Coronation Street at 8:30pm. A new Tom Kerridge Cooks Italy opens the evening at 7:30pm, and a new Chase Around the World follows the soaps at 9pm, with Bradley Walsh and the Chasers in Zurich. The night closes with the Bond film Quantum of Solace at 10:45pm. Full listings are in the schedule table above.

Is ITV1 the same as STV in Scotland?

No. Across most of Scotland the channel-3 slot is STV, and in Northern Ireland it is UTV.

Verdict

Thursday 13 August is back to the standard shape for ITV1: Emmerdale and Coronation Street both in their usual slots, either side of two premieres. Tom Kerridge Cooks Italy opens the evening at 7:30pm, and once the soaps are done, a new Chase Around the World sends Bradley Walsh and the Chasers to Zurich chasing £100,000.

Quantum of Solace closes the night at 10:45pm, Daniel Craig’s second outing as Bond. Worth noting for early risers: ITV1 also carries an earlier repeat of Tom Kerridge Cooks Italy’s previous episode at 5:35am, a different instalment from the new one airing at 7:30pm.
