Early Evening

Coronation Street – ITV1, 8:30pm

Gary is hiding what he knows about Theo’s death and seeing ex Sarah on the side, while a family holiday is floated as a way of papering over everything. Maria doesn’t know the half of it. ITVX.

Prime Time

Gardeners’ World – BBC Two, 8pm

A live special from the NEC in Birmingham. Monty Don is joined by Frances Tophill, Adam Frost, Arit Anderson, and Sue Kent, with historian Alice Roberts guesting and a segment on cork as a sustainable garden material. BBC iPlayer.

Unbelievable Moments Caught on Camera – ITV1, 9pm

New series. The opener includes first responders in Arizona pulling a woman out of a burning building. ITVX.

Celebrity Gogglebox – Channel 4, 9pm

Rylan and his mum Linda are back, Denise Van Outen and Johnny Vaughan make a solid pairing, and Bez and Shaun Ryder watching anything is worth it. Channel 4 streaming.

Hidden Treasures of the National Trust – BBC Two, 9pm (SERIES FINALE)

The final episode visits Nymans in West Sussex and Munstead Wood in Surrey — homes of theatre designer Oliver Messel and garden pioneer Gertrude Jekyll. Conservators tackle a flaking portrait of Messel’s sister Anne and an Arts and Crafts door Jekyll made herself. A good series goes out well. BBC iPlayer.

Funboys – BBC Three, from 9pm

Series two. Steve Coogan guests as Phillip Cantwell, a pompous figure at a folk museum. Co-creators Ryan Dylan and Rian Lennon are back as Callum and Jordan — their new scheme starts on a farm with a possible leprechaun problem. Dry, odd, good. BBC iPlayer.

Ponies – Sky Atlantic, 9pm (SERIES FINALE, double bill, also 10pm)

A proper send-off. It’s 1977 Moscow, the widows of two murdered US spies are closing in on a KGB blackmail ring, there’s an Elton John concert in the background, and villain Andrei is getting his. Bea (Emilia Clarke) and Twila’s friendship has been the heart of it — the finale pays that off. Both episodes tonight. Available on Now.
