Other Must-Watch TV Highlights for This Evening
Miriam Margolyes Made Me Me
At 9pm on BBC Two, Miriam Margolyes stars in an intimate documentary that began as a podcast project. Filmed by TV director Simon Draper, it evolved into a meditative exploration as Margolyes balanced world tours and health issues. She reflects, "I don't want to be just a foul-mouthed farty old lady—because I'm more than that," yet the show still delivers plenty of her signature laugh-out-loud antics.
Great Japanese Railway Journeys
Starting at 6.30pm on BBC Two, Michael Portillo dons his purple trousers for a new travelogue in Japan. The episode features brisk journeys on bullet trains and stops to sample fried octopus balls and explore manga culture, moving beyond its initial clichéd opening line about Japan's "enigmatic contrasts."
Missed Call
Channel 5 airs a new whodunnit at 9pm, starring Joanna Scanlan as Sarah, an anxious mother whose teenage daughter embarks on a French exchange. A pre-credit sequence hints at trouble, with a cast of shady characters—including Rupert Graves as Scanlan's partner and an aloof exchange family—providing numerous suspects in this suspenseful mystery.
Charmain and the Prophet
BBC Two presents the first part of a disturbing three-part true story at 10pm, delving into themes of class, race, and Scotland's religious dynamics. It follows Charmain Speirs, a vulnerable single mother who meets a charismatic evangelical preacher on a Christian dating site, only for the relationship to sour amid what her mother Lydia describes as "just lies after lies after lies."
DTF St Louis Finale
At 10.15pm on Sky Atlantic, the raunchy murder mystery DTF St Louis concludes its season. Starring David Harbour, Linda Cardellini, and Jason Bateman in a deadly love triangle, the finale maintains the show's comic mischief, with unanswered questions including how a curving penis condition led Harbour's character Floyd into American Sign Language.
Tonight's television lineup offers a mix of drama, documentary, travel, mystery, and comedy, ensuring there's something for every viewer to enjoy.
