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, Monday 17 August 2026, it’s back to the channel’s regular weeknight shape: The Repair Shop and The Yorkshire Auction House share primetime with Antiques Road Trip before Help! My House Is Haunted closes out the night. Full breakdown below.

What’s on Really today

Monday’s schedule opens with a pair of Help! My House Is Haunted cases from midnight, then Teleshopping takes the 2am-to-4am slot. My Lottery Dream Home runs four half-hour episodes back to back from 4am, before Fantasy Homes By The Sea, Cruise TV with LoveitBookit and Escape To The Country each take an hour through breakfast. Salvage Hunters: The Restorers occupies the whole nine-to-noon stretch across three episodes, and The Yorkshire Auction House does the same trick with two editions either side of 12pm and 1pm. The Repair Shop gets a daytime outing at 2pm, Salvage Hunters returns for two more episodes from 3pm, and Who Do You Think You Are? closes the afternoon at 5pm ahead of tonight’s primetime run.

Really tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Really primetime line-up for tonight, Monday 17 August 2026.

The Repair Shop — Really, 6pm

Primetime opens with the format Really leans on hardest: family heirlooms carried into a Sussex barn and handed to specialist restorers who work in wood, metal, leather and fabric. Series 12, episode 2 sticks to the formula that made it a hit in the first place, so don’t expect surprises, just competent craft and the odd tear.

The Yorkshire Auction House — Really, 7pm

The family-run Yorkshire saleroom keeps things more unpredictable than the restoration shows around it, since nobody involved knows what a lot will actually fetch until the hammer falls. Series 2, episode 14 follows sellers hoping for a windfall and buyers trying not to overpay for it.

Antiques Road Trip — Really, 8pm

Two dealers, a set budget and a road map of Britain’s antique shops make up one of the steadier formats on daytime and early-evening telly, and Really slots series 28’s sixteenth outing into the middle of the evening rather than burying it in the afternoon. The pleasure is in watching a small gamble either pay off or not at the auction that closes each episode.

The Repair Shop — Really, 9pm

A second helping of The Repair Shop takes the best slot of the night, series 8’s fifth episode bringing in a fresh set of objects and the people attached to them. Two airings in one evening says more about how well the format performs for Really than about anything unusual in tonight’s stories.

The Yorkshire Auction House — Really, 10pm

The saleroom returns for series 4, episode 2, closing out a second run of items after the earlier edition at 7pm. It’s comfortable, late-evening scheduling rather than appointment viewing, but it does the job of holding an audience before the paranormal hour.

Help! My House Is Haunted — Really, 11pm

The night ends on the channel’s other calling card, a team of investigators called into an ordinary UK home where the current occupants have reported something they can’t explain. Series 4, episode 13 keeps to the same restrained, testimony-led approach rather than chasing jump scares, which is why it still works this late in the schedule.

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 opens primetime at 6pm and returns at 9pm, The Yorkshire Auction House sits either side of it at 7pm and 10pm, Antiques Road Trip takes the 8pm slot, and Help! My House Is Haunted closes the night at 11pm. Full times are in the schedule table above.

Verdict

Really knows exactly what it is, which is more than most channels this far down the guide can say. Death Walker With Nick Groff and Help! My House Is Haunted give it an identity, and Groff at least behaves like a man investigating something rather than a man reacting to a noise. The daytime half is comfortable and nothing more.

Tonight is closer to a typical Really weeknight than most: The Repair Shop and The Yorkshire Auction House each get two outings around Antiques Road Trip’s single appearance, before Help! My House Is Haunted closes things out at 11pm. If you’re picking a single hour, make it the paranormal one.
