Really TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On Really Tonight

Really is Warner Bros. Discovery’s ghost-hunting and salvage-and-antiques channel. It arrived on Freeview in January 2026 and absorbed the old HGTV UK’s home-and-garden library on the way in, which is why the daytime grid now runs so heavily to saleroom telly. Tonight, Saturday 29 August 2026, The Repair Shop takes three more hours from 6pm to 8pm, the back end of a run that has been on air since noon. The Yorkshire Exorcist II, a new case for Ian Lawman, holds the 9pm slot, the earlier Yorkshire Exorcist follows at 10pm, and Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted closes out the night at 11pm. Full breakdown below.

Fantasy Homes By The Sea takes the 6am hour, Cruise TV with LoveitBookit fills 7am, and two further Salvage Hunters episodes run at 8am and 9am. The Yorkshire Auction House holds 10am and 11am, and then The Repair Shop settles in at noon and does not leave: nine editions run back to back from midday through to 8pm, working through series seven before settling into a consecutive run of series five for the last six hours, ahead of the paranormal turn at 9pm.

Really tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Really primetime line-up for tonight, Saturday 29 August 2026.

The Repair Shop — Really, 6pm to 8pm

The Repair Shop holds three straight hours from 6pm, the tail end of a run that has been going since noon. Tonight’s trio comes from series five: a piano stool and a car speedometer at 6pm, a bird brooch and a wartime rag doll named Chiefy at 7pm, and a bicycle sidecar and a military drum at 8pm.

The Yorkshire Exorcist II — Really, 9pm

Ian Lawman is back for The Yorkshire Exorcist II, a new case centred on a man who says he has been haunted for eleven years. It is the one genuine premiere on the channel tonight.

The Yorkshire Exorcist — Really, 10pm

The earlier Yorkshire Exorcist follows at 10pm. It isn’t a second instalment of the new series but the original outing, in which Lawman takes on what he calls his most personal case: a suspected possession rather than a haunted building.

Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted — Really, 11pm

Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted closes the night with Charlotte Crosby, who says she has watched a chair move on its own and struggled to sleep because of it.

What kind of shows are on Really

Paranormal and ghost-hunting

This is what Really is for. Death Walker With Nick Groff and Help! My House Is Haunted anchor most weeknight evenings, and both work from named, specific properties rather than the moody reconstructions cheaper ghost shows fall back on.

Home, antiques and lifestyle repeats

The daytime grid is where HGTV UK’s old audience ended up. The Repair Shop, Salvage Hunters, The Yorkshire Auction House and Fantasy Homes By The Sea run in long repeated stretches, several series deep, none of it first-run. Overnight the schedule gives up on programming altogether and sells you cruises and teleshopping until 4am.

How to watch Really

Channel numbers

Here’s where to find Really across the main UK television platforms:

No subscription on any of them. The +1 exists on Sky and Virgin Media only, not on Freeview. Freesat and Virgin numbers drift a little by region and by box, so trust your on-screen guide over this table if the two disagree.

Streaming online

Really streams live and free through discovery+, Warner Bros. Discovery’s ad-supported app, on smart TVs, iOS, Android and most streaming sticks. A free account gets you the live channel and a rolling catch-up window on recent episodes, paid for in ad breaks rather than cash.

Really sister channels

Older write-ups still file Really under UKTV. They are out of date. It now sits in Warner Bros. Discovery’s UK stable next to Quest, Quest Red, Discovery Channel, Food Network and DMAX. Quest is the closest relation of the lot, sharing programmes with Really outright, Salvage Hunters among them, which is part of why that title turns up so often on both grids. Dave, Drama, Yesterday and W stayed behind with UKTV and BBC Studios, so they are a different family now whatever the old listings pages say.

Frequently asked questions

What’s on Really tonight?

The Repair Shop runs three more hours from 6pm to 8pm, the tail of a run on air since noon. The Yorkshire Exorcist II, a new case for Ian Lawman, takes the 9pm slot, the earlier Yorkshire Exorcist follows at 10pm, and Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted closes the night at 11pm. Full times are in the schedule table above.

What channel is Really on Freeview?

Freeview channel 44, since the January 2026 move.

What channel is Really on Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat?

Sky 142, Virgin Media 165, and Freesat 149. Really +1 runs an hour behind on Sky 242 and Virgin Media 365, though there’s no Freeview +1 currently.

Is Really free to watch?

Yes, on every platform, with no subscription. Expect the usual ad breaks of a commercial free-to-air channel.

Can I watch Really online for free?

Yes, live and on catch-up via discovery+, Warner Bros. Discovery’s free, ad-supported streaming app.

Who owns Really?

Warner Bros. Discovery. UKTV launched the channel in 2009 but sold it to Discovery in 2019, and Discovery became part of Warner Bros. Discovery after its 2022 merger with WarnerMedia.

Verdict

Really knows exactly what it is, which is more than most channels this far down the guide can say. Help! My House Is Haunted gives it an identity that’s hard to find anywhere else on free-to-air television, and the daytime half is comfortable and nothing more.

Tonight’s shape is three more hours of The Repair Shop carrying the evening to 9pm, then the channel’s paranormal identity takes over: The Yorkshire Exorcist II, the earlier Yorkshire Exorcist and Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted run back to back to close the night. If you’re picking a single hour, make it 9pm — a genuinely new case is rarer here than another Repair Shop repeat.
