Sport

Cricket: Today at the Test – England v New Zealand – BBC Two, 7:10pm

Day-three highlights from the third Test. A neat catch-up before the football takes over the evening. Free on BBC One and iPlayer.

FIFA World Cup 2026: Panama v England – ITV1, 8:45pm (kick-off 10pm) ⭐

This is the one. England’s final group game, and the result settles where they finish and who they meet next. Mark Pougatch fronts the coverage with Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Gary Neville either side of it. The 10pm kick-off is a brutal slot on a Saturday. You’ll stay up anyway. Free on ITV1 and ITVX.

Early Evening

The 1% Club – ITV1, 7:40pm

Lee Mack’s logic quiz, where being clever counts for nothing and thinking sideways counts for everything. Easy company before the football. Free on ITV1 and ITVX.

Casualty – BBC One, 8:10pm

The complaint has left a mess, and Dylan’s the one trying to clear it up — specifically with Stevie and Matty, whose trust has taken a battering. Holby keeps throwing bodies through the doors while he does it. Still one of the most dependable hours on Saturday telly. BBC iPlayer.

Alexander Armstrong Across America – Channel 5, 8pm (NEW SERIES)

Armstrong swaps quiz-show studios for the open road, kicking off a coast-to-coast trip in Philadelphia. He’s good at this — curious without being smug — and the city gives him plenty to chew on, from the Declaration of Independence to the harder realities playing out on its streets. Channel 5 streaming.

Prime Time

Two Weeks in August – BBC One, 9pm (SERIES FINALE)

The Greek-villa drama goes out with two episodes back to back. In the first, Zoe (Jessica Raine) walks away from the group and into a dangerous search for answers, while Nat’s new place turns out to be less of a sanctuary than it looked. Then the finale at 9:45pm raises the stakes again — a wildfire closing in, forcing everyone to admit what they actually want out of all this. It’s been a slow-burn summer hit, and this is a strong way to bow out. Both on BBC iPlayer.

Goolagong – BBC Four, 9pm (SERIES FINALE)

The biopic reaches its peak. Still grieving her father, Evonne rebuilds — parting ways with her coach, marrying Roger, and fighting back from injury to win Wimbledon as a mother, a genuinely historic feat. The series has never been only about the tennis, and the ending honours that. If you’ve missed it, the whole thing is sitting on iPlayer waiting. BBC Four, then BBC iPlayer.

Forty Glastonbury Gems – BBC Two, 8:10pm

With Worthy Farm lying fallow this year, the BBC raids its own archive for 40 performances spanning decades of the festival. It’s the kind of thing that’s impossible to switch off once it grabs you — and it rolls straight into Rod Stewart’s 2025 legends slot at 10:50pm. BBC iPlayer.

Ticket to Paradise – Channel 4, 8pm

Julia Roberts and George Clooney play exes who can’t stand each other but team up to wreck their daughter’s wedding in Bali. It’s exactly as breezy as that sounds — old-school star wattage doing the heavy lifting. Channel 4 streaming.

Fergie: Where Did All the Money Go? – Channel 5, 9pm

A documentary working through Sarah Ferguson’s long, bumpy relationship with money — the repeated crises, and the knack for clawing her way back each time. Channel 5 streaming.

Late Night

The Boy That Never Was – U&Drama, 10pm

Harry’s still convinced his son is out there, and he’s still lying to keep the search alive — which is exactly the sort of thing that tends to unravel. Tense and well-paced. Full series on U.

Hustlers – Channel 4, 9:55pm

Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu in the 2019 true-ish story of New York dancers who flip the script on their Wall Street regulars. Slick, sharp and more interesting than the premise suggests. Channel 4 streaming.

Scrublands – BBC Four, 9:55pm

The Australian outback mystery returns for a double bill. At the dead man’s wake, journalist Martin starts hearing a very different version of who the victim really was. Slow-burn and atmospheric. BBC iPlayer.

How Are You? It’s Alan (Partridge) – BBC One, 10:50pm

Alan presses on with his one-man campaign to fix the nation’s mental health, this week wondering aloud whether talking about things actually does any good. BBC iPlayer.
