Sport

Men’s Test Cricket: Today at the Test – BBC Two, 7pm

BBC Two rounds up the fifth and final day of the first Test between England and New Zealand at Lord’s. If you couldn’t follow the day’s play live, this is the quick way to catch up before the evening’s drama. BBC iPlayer.

Tennis: Queen’s – BBC Two, from 1pm

Earlier on BBC Two, day one of the women’s grass-court tournament at the Queen’s Club in west London gets the run-in to Wimbledon under way. BBC iPlayer.

Early Evening

EastEnders – BBC One, 7:30pm

Yes, EastEnders is on tonight, in its usual 7:30pm slot on BBC One. Things take a turn when George Knight heads to the boxing gym for a sparring session, the kind of release that rarely ends well in Walford. Elsewhere, Ian Beale is struggling to cope with recent events, and anyone who knows Ian knows that a rattled Ian is a dangerous Ian. A typically busy Monday on the Square. BBC iPlayer.

Emmerdale – ITV1, 8pm

Over on ITV1, Emmerdale kicks off the soap double bill at 8pm. Tonight the spotlight is on Lydia Dingle, whose worst fears look set to be confirmed in an episode that’s been building for a while. The Dingles are rarely far from trouble, and this is shaping up to be a hard night for the family. ITVX.

Coronation Street – ITV1, 8:30pm

Straight after Emmerdale, Coronation Street is on ITV1 at 8:30pm. Tyrone lands a double confession on Fiz, the sort of conversation that tends to reshape a few storylines at once on the cobbles. If you only dip into Weatherfield occasionally, this is a good night to tune back in. ITVX.

Prime Time

Springwatch – BBC Two, 8pm

BBC Two’s live nature series continues from the Crom estate in Fermanagh, with Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan on the nest cameras and Iolo Williams over at Bempton Cliffs, where the seabird colonies are busy with breeding season. Calm, restorative viewing. BBC iPlayer.

The Dog House – Channel 4, 8pm

Before its big film later, Channel 4 has the reliably lovely The Dog House, in which the Wood Green team try to find the right new owners for rescue dogs. Tonight there’s a poodle cross called Lola and a small but determined Chihuahua named Frankie in need of homes. Channel 4 streaming.

Bridge of Spies – Film4, 8pm (12)

If you fancy a film on Film4 tonight, this is a strong one. Steven Spielberg’s 2015 Cold War drama stars Tom Hanks as James Donovan, an insurance lawyer pulled out of his comfort zone to negotiate a prisoner exchange between the US and the Soviet Union in a freezing, divided Berlin. It’s talky in the best way, with a sharp Coen brothers-polished script, and Hanks is exactly the decent everyman the story needs. Rated 12. (Robert Redford’s The Old Man & the Gun precedes it at 6:15pm.) Channel 4 streaming.

Gareth Southgate: Changing the Game for Young Men – BBC One, 9pm

Most departed England managers slip quietly into punditry. Gareth Southgate has gone in a different direction, and this BBC One documentary follows him around the UK as he tries to understand the problems facing young men and boys: falling behind at school, struggling to find work, growing up without a father, or ending up in the prison system. The conversations are candid and frequently moving, and Southgate is an unshowy, genuinely curious presence. A serious film about a real issue, made without lecturing. BBC iPlayer.

Brexit: a Very British Civil War – BBC Two, 9pm

It’s ten years since the EU referendum, and Norma Percy, who has built a career getting world leaders to talk with startling candour, turns to it in the first of a two-part BBC Two documentary. The roll-call of contributors is the draw: David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Gordon Brown and George Osborne among them. Percy’s method is to stay out of the way and let the players incriminate themselves in their own words, and the old footage lands very differently with hindsight. Whatever you made of the result, this is gripping, even-handed history. Both episodes are on BBC iPlayer.

Tip Toe – Channel 4, 9pm

The penultimate episode of Russell T Davies’ Canal Street thriller on Channel 4, and the screws keep turning. The relationship between neighbours Leo (Alan Cumming) and Clive (David Morrissey) is past the point of repair, while Clive’s son George has his first proper night out on Manchester’s gay scene, a thread of warmth running under the mounting dread. With one episode left, everything’s poised to go off. Channel 4 streaming.

Unbelievable Moments Caught on Camera – ITV1, 9pm

ITV1’s clip show, narrated by Roger Allam, is exactly what it says: jaw-dropping real-life footage with the stories behind it. Tonight’s includes an off-piste skier buried alive in an avalanche and an ex-RAF pilot somehow landing a malfunctioning plane. Easy, gawp-at-the-telly viewing. ITVX.

Jeremy Bamber: Proof of Innocence – Channel 5, 9pm

Channel 5 returns to one of the most argued-over cases in British criminal history: the 1985 White House Farm murders, in which five members of one family were killed. Jeremy Bamber was convicted and has spent 40 years insisting he’s innocent. Tonight’s film lays out evidence its makers argue has been overlooked, and whatever you conclude, it’s a careful, methodical piece of work rather than a sensational one. 5 streaming.

Late Night

All of Us Strangers ⭐ – Channel 4, 10pm (15)

This is the one to watch tonight, even if it means staying up. Andrew Haigh’s 2023 film is one of the finest British films of recent years, and it’ll wreck you in the best possible way. Andrew Scott plays Adam, a lonely London screenwriter who strikes up a tentative relationship with his neighbour Harry (Paul Mescal), at the same time as he finds himself somehow able to visit his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), who died when he was a boy.

It sounds like a ghost story, and it sort of is, but really it’s about grief, loneliness and the things we never got to say. Scott has never been better, Mescal matches him, and Haigh handles the whole thing with extraordinary tenderness. Have tissues ready, and maybe don’t watch it alone if you’re feeling delicate. Rated 15. Channel 4 streaming.

The Simpsons – E4, from 6pm

If you want something easy around the soaps, E4 runs a batch of Simpsons episodes through the early evening, including a Treehouse of Horror Halloween trilogy at 7:30pm. Comfort telly that asks nothing of you. Channel 4 streaming.

G’wed – ITV2, 10.35pm

The scouse schoolboy comedy is back on ITV2 for a third series, and it doesn’t ease you in: the opener launches with a dream sequence before reality bites hard for Reece, whose life gets a good deal more complicated when Disneyland Darren moves in. Throw in the mortification of his mum’s new fella, Mr Dunn, and a school refugee project to juggle, and it’s a typically daft, warm-hearted return for one of telly’s most likeable Liverpool comedies. One to stay up for if you need a laugh after the heavier 9pm documentaries. ITVX.
