Early Evening

The Northumbria Mysteries – BBC One, 2pm

BBC One’s new daytime crime drama, The Northumbria Mysteries, is on at 2pm, with Chris Gascoyne as “Ace” Dawson alongside Robson Green and Liz White. A poker night ends in a death, and Rose drags Joe into it. Episodes one to four are already on iPlayer if you want to binge.

The Lost City – Film4, 6.50pm

At 6.50pm Film4 shows The Lost City, the 2022 adventure comedy with Sandra Bullock as a romance novelist and Channing Tatum as her cover model, who tries to rescue her. Silly, and fine with your tea on your lap. Liam Neeson’s Memory (2022) comes on at 9pm.

Our Great Yorkshire Life – Channel 5, 7pm

Have I Got News for You is on BBC One at 7.30pm, in EastEnders’ usual slot. Victoria Coren Mitchell hosts, with Julian Clary and Ava Santina Evans as guests. Put Clary on a topical panel and something filthy usually follows.

Prime Time

The Celebrity Traitors – BBC One, 8pm ⭐

The Celebrity Traitors final starts on BBC One at 8pm tonight. If you only watch one TV show tonight, this is it. Claudia Winkleman sees the last players through one final mission, and that mission decides how big the prize pot gets. It runs 80 minutes, the longest final the show has had, and I don’t mind the extra length because the endgame has been better than the run-up.

I’m not calling a winner. This cast have spent whole careers being believed, and watching them fail to fool each other has been the funniest part of the series. It’s on iPlayer as well, so there’s no need to find out from someone else on Saturday morning.

Uncloaked, with Winkleman and Ed Gamble, follows on BBC One at 9.20pm and runs about 40 minutes. For catching up, see how to watch The Traitors in the UK.

Emmerdale – ITV1, 8pm

Emmerdale is on ITV1 at 8pm tonight, a new episode. Sadie is still working her scheme, Robert makes up his mind about something, and Gabby is falling apart, with Laurel the one trying to hold her together. More on our Emmerdale page.

Coronation Street – ITV1, 8.30pm

Coronation Street follows on ITV1 at 8.30pm, a new episode. Christina finds something on Lucy’s phone she wasn’t expecting, nobody seems to care about Daniel’s campaign, and Carla is cool on Idris’s plans for her struggling factory. Bradley Walsh’s Beat the Chasers is on at 9pm. See the Coronation Street page.

Gardeners’ World – BBC Two, 8pm

BBC Two has an hour of Gardeners’ World at 8pm, with Adam Frost on what’s still going at the end of the season, chrysanthemums and vegetables included. Calm and practical. It’s on iPlayer afterwards.

Death in Paradise – BBC Three, 8pm

Death in Paradise is on BBC Three at 8pm. An agony aunt is poisoned. Mrs Brown’s Boys Live: Halloween Special follows at 9pm.

Gogglebox – Channel 4, 9pm

Channel 4 has a new Gogglebox at 9pm. The families get through the week’s telly, and on a Friday it’s usually the show everyone ends up talking about. The Last Leg is on at 10pm. The Gogglebox page has more.

Tutankhamun’s Secrets: Raiders of the Lost Past – BBC Two, 9pm

Tutankhamun’s Secrets: Raiders of the Lost Past is on BBC Two at 9pm, with historian Janina Ramirez going back over Howard Carter’s 1922 discovery of the tomb. Also on iPlayer.

M3GAN – E4, 9pm

M3GAN is on E4 at 9pm. In this 2022 horror Allison Williams plays an aunt who gives her orphaned niece an artificial doll, and the doll turns lethal. It’s nastier than the trailers let on. For Halloween week I’d take it over most of what gets scheduled.

War – Sky Atlantic, 9pm

Sky Atlantic has War at 9pm, with Sienna Miller as Carla and Katherine Kingsley alongside. Carla’s divorce goes public. Sky One has The Walking Dead: Dead City at 9pm too.

Disco at the BBC: Volume 3 – BBC Four, 9.40pm

Disco at the BBC: Volume 3 is on BBC Four at 9.40pm, with the Bee Gees, the Real Thing and Sledge among the acts. Studio 54 follows at 10.50pm, and the channel has Top of the Pops repeats from 7pm.

Late Night

The Last Leg – Channel 4, 10pm

The Last Leg is on Channel 4 at 10pm. Katherine Ryan and Dan Tiernan are the guests, and Queens of the Stone Age play.

Carrie – BBC Two, 10pm

BBC Two shows Carrie at 10pm, Brian De Palma’s 1976 take on Stephen King’s first novel, with Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie. It runs about an hour and a half. The prom scene still lands, and Laurie as the mother is still the scariest thing in it. The Ones Below, a 2015 thriller, follows at 11.35pm.

The Traitors Ireland – BBC Three, 10pm

The Traitors Ireland is on BBC Three at 10pm, filmed at Slane Castle with Siobhan McSweeney hosting. Two episodes go out back to back, at 10pm and 11pm, if one final wasn’t enough.

The Graham Norton Show – BBC One, 10.40pm

The Graham Norton Show is on BBC One at 10.40pm with Michael Douglas, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin and Naomi Ackie, and Sugababes on music. My money’s on Culkin to go off script. RuPaul’s Drag Race UK has its semi-final at 11.30pm.

Top Gun – ITV1, 10.45pm

ITV1 has Top Gun at 10.45pm, the 1986 original with Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis. Exactly as macho and cheesy as you remember, and the soundtrack does half the work.
