Sport

England Women v Ukraine – ITV1, 7:30pm

The Lionesses round off their group-stage qualifying for the 2027 World Cup tonight, and there’s a nice bit of history to it: this is the first time an England team has played at Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool. Sarina Wiegman’s side have won every group game so far, so this is about finishing the job in style and booking their place. Coverage starts at 7:30pm with kick-off at 8pm. ITVX.

Men’s T20 Cricket: Essex v Kent Spitfires – Sky Sports Cricket, 6:55pm

Vitality Blast T20 from Chelmsford, with Essex hosting their south-eastern rivals Kent under the lights. Also on Sky Sports Main Event from 7pm. Subscription required.

Tennis: Queen’s – BBC Two, from 1pm

Day two of the women’s grass-court tournament at the Queen’s Club, more useful Wimbledon preparation for the contenders. BBC iPlayer.

Early Evening

EastEnders – BBC One, 7:30pm

Yes, EastEnders is on tonight, and Oscar Branning is making a thorough mess of his love life. He’s caught between the Slater twins, Jasmine and Josh, and after a row blows up over Jasmine’s past, he retreats to Josh for comfort. What starts as consolation tips into a kiss, and the pair are too wrapped up in the moment to notice Kat Moon watching from outside the window. It’s the kind of tangle that never stays secret in Walford for long. BBC iPlayer.

Only When I Laugh – Rewind TV, 6:30pm

A treat for fans of vintage sitcom: Rewind TV digs out the first episode of this late-1970s hospital comedy from Eric Chappell, the writer behind Rising Damp. The cast alone is worth tuning in for, with James Bolam and Richard Wilson among the bedbound malingerers. It’s sharp, mean and very much of its era. Freeview Play.

Prime Time

Best Medicine – Sky One, 8pm

Here’s a curiosity: an American remake of Doc Martin. Josh Charles, last seen being excellent in The Good Wife, takes the lead as Dr Martin Best, a brilliant but tactless Boston surgeon who packs in his hospital career to become the GP of a small New England fishing village he knew as a child. If you know the original, the bones are all here, the bedside manner from hell, the blood phobia, the slow-burn romance with a local schoolteacher (Abigail Spencer). It doesn’t quite have the prickly charm of the Martin Clunes version, but Charles makes a good grump, and there’s a double bill tonight to get you started. Now.

Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr – BBC One, 8pm

The final, and the two remaining designers are sent to Longleat to revamp holiday cottages in the grounds of the stately home. Both have a taste for the bold, so expect dark colours, big patterns and not a magnolia wall in sight, which makes the choice of guest judge perfect: Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, never knowingly understated, joins Michelle Ogundehin to help decide the winner. Alan Carr keeps the whole thing as warm as ever. A genuinely good final. BBC iPlayer.

Bake Off: the Professionals – Channel 4, 8pm

The pastry teams are put through it again tonight, first with savoury laminated tarts and a twist on the cream bun, then a showpiece round where they have to build a famous landmark, Tower Bridge or the Eiffel Tower among them, out of sugar and chocolate. Benoit Blin’s verdicts remain a thing of beauty, especially when he’s unimpressed. Channel 4 streaming.

Modern Marvels: WWII – Sky History, 8pm

A new US documentary series that looks at the Second World War as, above all, a war of engineering. Tonight ranges across the Nazi V-2 rocket (the prototype for the space age), the B-29 Superfortress, the bouncing bomb and Germany’s Elektroboot, the submarine that shaped those that followed. Solid, well-made factual telly for the history-minded. Now.

Springwatch – BBC Two, 8pm

Packham and Strachan continue from Fermanagh, with the nest cameras rolling and Iolo Williams over at Bempton Cliffs, where the seabird colonies are busy with breeding season. Reliable, restorative viewing. BBC iPlayer.

Who Do You Think You Are? – BBC One, 9pm

Joe Swash makes an endearingly enthusiastic subject tonight, setting off half-hoping to find a Mafia connection in his Italian family tree. What he actually uncovers is rather darker and sadder: a three-times great-grandfather who was jailed near Naples, and a five-times great-grandfather who was murdered. Swash’s genuine shock as the story unfolds is what makes it. BBC iPlayer.

The Fortune – Channel 5, 9pm

Channel 5’s psychological drama reaches its third episode, and after last week’s cliffhanger Amanda (Eleanor Tomlinson) is facing a genuine moral dilemma. She leans on husband Jimmy (Matthew Lewis) and best friend Sandy (Danielle Walters), but the pair are behaving oddly, and Jimmy clearly knows more than he’s letting on, while the search for the truth about Martin (Denis Lawson) goes on. Twisty, propulsive stuff. 5 streaming.

Tip Toe ⭐ – Channel 4, 9pm (SERIES FINALE)

This is the one to watch tonight. Russell T Davies’ Canal Street thriller comes to its conclusion, and it’s been building to this from the very first scene, when we learned how Leo (Alan Cumming) would die. Tonight, with his friends and neighbours carrying on around him, the full picture of what happened finally clicks into place, and it ends in a confrontation that is genuinely hard to watch. Davies has written something raw and angry here about the homophobia still lurking under the surface, and Cumming and David Morrissey have been superb throughout. Don’t have it spoiled. Channel 4 streaming.

Late Night

England 2006: the Golden Generation – BBC One, 10:40pm

A nicely timed documentary, with a World Cup about to start, looking back at England’s 2006 campaign, the summer the Wags took over Baden-Baden and a team of genuine stars somehow underwhelmed before going out on penalties yet again. Told by journalists, FA insiders and the players themselves, it’s a candid post-mortem on a side that promised the world and delivered rather less. (It starts at 11:10pm in Northern Ireland.) BBC iPlayer.
