TV Guide UK Tonight: Fri 13 Mar 2026 – Death in Paradise, Astrid: Murder in Paris & Cheltenham Gold Cup
Friday's Freeview TV guide is led by Death in Paradise on BBC One at 9pm, where DI Mervin Wilson's PTSD is changing the emotional texture of this Guadeloupe-set cosy crime series. More4 brings the series finale of Astrid: Murder in Paris at 9pm -- a disturbing conclusion the reviewer warns is genuinely distressing. Big Cats 24/7 on BBC Two at 9pm features lion brawls feet from the camera trucks and a young cheetah who signals lunchtime with a squeaky call. The Cheltenham Gold Cup runs on ITV1 from 4pm with Galopín Des Champs bidding for a third Gold Cup win (he won in 2023 and 2024). BBC One's new chat show The Claudia Winkleman Show launches at 10:40pm with Jeff Goldblum, Vanessa Williams, Jennifer Saunders and Tom Allen. EastEnders does not air on Fridays.
