Early Evening

Eva Longoria: Searching for France – BBC Two, 4.30pm

Eva Longoria’s food-and-travel series reaches the pastry episode, the seventh of eight, on BBC Two at 4.30pm. It’s a gentle half hour between the afternoon sport and tea. The previous episode, on Burgundy wine, was repeated earlier in the day.

Jurassic World Dominion – ITV1, 6.25pm

ITV1 follows the rugby with Jurassic World Dominion (2022) at 6.25pm. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are back among the dinosaurs, and the film runs with adverts until about 9pm, when Adultery takes over. ITV2 has Miss Congeniality (2000) at 6.45pm if you’d rather laugh.

The Reluctant Vampire – BBC One, 6.40pm

The Reluctant Vampire ends its run on BBC One at 6.40pm with the sixth and last episode. Val faces his initiation test and has a big decision to make. Lenny Rush and Sian Clifford star. It’s half an hour.

EastEnders Omnibus – BBC Three, 7pm

The soap isn’t on BBC One tonight, so BBC Three runs four episodes back to back from 7pm to 9pm. Our EastEnders page keeps up with what’s going on in Albert Square.

Strictly Come Dancing: The Results – BBC One, 7.10pm ⭐

Strictly Come Dancing: The Results is on BBC One at 7.10pm and runs until 8pm. Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe are listed to present. The bottom two couples face a dance-off, and one of them leaves the competition.

At 50 minutes it’s much shorter than Saturday’s live show. If you missed last night’s dances, our guide to how to watch Strictly explains where to catch up.

Remembrance Sunday: The Cenotaph Highlights – BBC Two, 7.10pm

BBC Two has the Cenotaph highlights from 7.10pm to 8.30pm, a shorter edit of this morning’s service. It clashes with Strictly, so it’s really for anyone who missed the morning. Antiques Roadshow from Crystal Palace Park is on BBC Two at 6.40pm if you want something before it.

Sunday Night TV: Prime Time

Blue Planet III – BBC One, 8pm

This City Is Ours – BBC One, 9pm

This City Is Ours is on BBC One at 9pm, with episode five of eight in the Liverpool crime drama. Michael tries to get a meeting with the Phelans while Freddie’s behaviour becomes more erratic.

Adultery – ITV1, 9pm

Adultery is on ITV1 at 9pm, episode five of a drama about two families, with Dominic Cooper and Shelley Conn in the cast. The first episode is repeated on ITV3 at 12.55am if you want to catch up. ITV3 also has Midsomer Murders at 6pm and 8pm, and Vera at 10pm.

Channel 4 starts a new series at 9pm with Stacey Dooley in Australia. The first stop is Kangaroo Island. Earlier on the channel, Kevin McCloud has a classic car road trip at 8pm.

Ed Gamble’s Unacceptable! – TLC, 9pm
