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

Published: 7 September 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, Tuesday 8 September 2026, is a straight run through the channel’s regular strands rather than an event evening: The Repair Shop at 6pm and The Yorkshire Auction House at 7pm lead into Antiques Road Trip at 8pm, then two episodes of Who Do You Think You Are? take 9pm and 10pm before Help! My House Is Haunted closes the night at 11pm. Full breakdown below.

The Repair Shop has a 2pm slot, two more Salvage Hunters: The Restorers episodes run at 3pm and 4pm, and Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace closes out the afternoon at 5pm ahead of this evening’s schedule.

Really tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Really primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 8 September 2026.

The Repair Shop — Really, 6pm

Craftspeople at the Weald and Downland barn take on another batch of family heirlooms, coaxing damaged clocks, furniture and keepsakes back to something like their original condition. It’s an acquired repeat rather than a first broadcast for Really — the series belongs to the BBC — so this is an older run rather than whatever is currently airing on BBC One. Comfort viewing rather than appointment television, but reliably so.

The Yorkshire Auction House — Really, 7pm

An hour at the saleroom follows, tracking items from valuation through to the hammer falling. Vendors hoping for a windfall and buyers chasing a bargain both get their moment, and the format’s appeal lies in not knowing which side wins on any given lot. Series six puts this well into an established run rather than a debut outing.

Antiques Road Trip — Really, 8pm

Two dealers set off with a fixed budget, hunting for items across shops and fairs before testing their eye at auction. The format hasn’t changed since its BBC daytime beginnings — buy low, hope the saleroom agrees with your judgement — and Really’s evening slot gives it more attention than the average afternoon airing gets. Series 29 is a long way into the show’s history, well past any novelty stage.

Who Do You Think You Are? — Really, 9pm

A celebrity traces their family tree, and researchers turn up whatever the paper trail holds — sometimes a quiet surprise, sometimes something considerably harder to sit with. This episode is from series 11, not the same run as the hour that follows it; Really jumps between series 11 and series 10 tonight rather than showing them in order, so don’t expect any continuity between the 9pm and 10pm editions.

Who Do You Think You Are? — Really, 10pm

The second hour switches to a different subject and a different series altogether — series 10 this time, several episodes further into that run than the one it follows. Genealogy shows live or die on how compelling the discovery turns out to be, and this one is unknown until the credits roll. Two hours of the same format back to back, but not two halves of the same story.

Help! My House Is Haunted — Really, 11pm

Investigators travel to an ordinary family home for the night’s case, the fourth of the current run, working through whatever has been reported — footsteps, cold spots, objects that won’t stay put — without much scepticism getting in the way. It’s the closest thing Really has to a signature show, and the reason regular viewers stay up past the antiques and repair strands rather than switching over.

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 the evening at 6pm, followed by The Yorkshire Auction House at 7pm and Antiques Road Trip at 8pm. Two episodes of Who Do You Think You Are? take 9pm and 10pm, and 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 opens with The Repair Shop and The Yorkshire Auction House back to back at 6pm and 7pm, then Antiques Road Trip takes 8pm before Who Do You Think You Are? settles in for a double bill at 9pm and 10pm. None of it is a must-see hour, but it’s exactly what regular viewers tune in for. If you want the one moment that sets Really apart from every other daytime-repeats channel, stay up for 11pm and Help! My House Is Haunted.
