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

Published: 30 August 2026

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 31 August 2026, The Repair Shop and The Yorkshire Auction House share the evening between them, Antiques Road Trip opens a brand-new run at 8pm, and Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted closes out the night. Full breakdown below.

What’s on Really today

Monday opens with two separate cases for Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted at midnight and 1am, then two hours of Teleshopping through to 4am and four half-hour episodes of My Lottery Dream Home taking the schedule to 6am. Fantasy Homes By The Sea opens the day proper, Cruise TV with LoveitBookit fills the 7am shopping slot, and Escape To The Country holds 8am. Salvage Hunters then settles in for three hours from 9am to 11am, all from the same series, before The Yorkshire Auction House takes the midday hours with a pair of episodes from its first series. The Repair Shop drops in for a single hour at 2pm, two more Salvage Hunters episodes from a later series run at 3pm and 4pm, and Long Lost Family closes out the daytime schedule at 5pm before primetime begins.

Really tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Monday’s primetime on Really is a straight six-hour split between its two biggest daytime exports and a paranormal close.

The Repair Shop — Really, 6pm and 9pm

The Repair Shop opens and nearly closes the evening, with two unrelated instalments an hour either side of the auction coverage. The 6pm hour brings in a black panther rendered on velvet, a garden ornament cast in the shape of a bee, and a twin lens camera, each with an owner hoping the barn team can undo years of damage. At 9pm the workshop turns to a rusty child’s bike carrying a romantic story, a well-loved fluffy toy monkey and a lamp smashed beyond what looks fixable. The two episodes come from different series of the show, so don’t expect one to follow on from the other.

The Yorkshire Auction House — Really, 7pm and 10pm

The Yorkshire Auction House bookends the two Repair Shop hours. At 7pm, in an episode titled A Tonne Of Bricks, an army veteran sells off an enormous Lego collection with the proceeds going towards his daughter, while a separate visit to London turns up some fine Victorian jewellery. At 10pm a retired couple puts their toy car collection under the hammer, hoping the sale funds a trip to chase the Northern Lights. Like the Repair Shop pairing, these are two separate episodes from different series rather than a continuing story.

Antiques Road Trip — Really, 8pm

Between the two auction house episodes, Antiques Road Trip opens a brand-new series. Margie Cooper and Tim Medhurst set off in a 1970 electric-powered fire engine, starting their road trip in Blackpool. It’s worth noting Quest also runs an Antiques Road Trip at 7pm tonight, but that’s an unconnected series with Philip Serrell and Catherine Southon dealing in Birmingham — a different pairing, a different route.

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

The night closes with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen inviting investigators into his own home. What starts as a look into a few unexplained noises turns up a Quaker history behind the property, and a haunting that’s more rooted in the building’s past than anyone expected.

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 with a different set of items at 9pm. Between the two, The Yorkshire Auction House runs at 7pm and 10pm, and Antiques Road Trip opens a new series at 8pm. Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted closes the night at 11pm with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. 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 leans hard on the channel’s two biggest exports: The Repair Shop takes the 6pm and 9pm hours with two unrelated sets of restorations, and The Yorkshire Auction House sits either side of Antiques Road Trip’s new series opener at 8pm. Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted closes out the night at 11pm. If you’re picking a single hour, make it 8pm — Margie Cooper and Tim Medhurst setting off in a 1970 fire engine is a more distinctive watch than another round of the auction room.
