TV Tonight: A Comedy Reunion and Business Finale Headline Evening Viewing
Prepare for a night of laughter, drama, and high-stakes competition as tonight's television schedule offers a diverse mix of programming. Leading the charge is the return of a beloved comedy series, alongside the climax of a long-running business reality show.
Big Mood: Friendship Tested at a Wedding
At 10pm on Channel 4, Camilla Whitehill's comedy Big Mood makes its highly anticipated return. Series one concluded with best friends Maggie, played by Nicola Coughlan, and Eddie, portrayed by Lydia West, parting ways due to Maggie's struggles with bipolar disorder. Now, a year later, they are reunited as bridesmaids at a friend's wedding.
Maggie is focused on her recovery from lithium poisoning and is keen to prove she has entered her stable girl era. Meanwhile, Eddie has found a new companion in Whitney, a crystal-wielding light worker. With tensions simmering and wedding chaos inevitable, viewers can expect a sharp and heartfelt exploration of friendship and mental health.
The Apprentice: Business Plans Under Scrutiny
Over on BBC One at 9pm, The Apprentice reaches its final episode. While some critics argue the show feels increasingly tired in both form and content, the finale promises intense drama as the last two candidates face a roomful of industry experts.
These experts will audit their business plans to near destruction, determining who wins the ultimate prize: the opportunity to spend more quality time with Lord Alan Sugar and secure his investment. It's a make-or-break moment for the aspiring entrepreneurs.
Additional Highlights Across the Channels
BBC Two presents Inside Barlinnie at 9pm, a second dispatch from Scotland's largest jail. This episode features more stories of inmates, both current and former, struggling to keep their heads above water. Follow long-term addict Bobby as he heads to rehab, and Alan as he is released from HMP Barlinnie and returns to Glasgow, where he looks likely to reoffend.
Channel 4 offers Taskmaster at 9pm, where the new cast settles into their second week with no signs of slowing down. Expect a raucous hour including topless umbrella twirling from Joel Dommett, stuntman personas from Armando Iannucci, and plenty of shouting about scrambled eggs.
Sky Atlantic airs The Miniature Wife at 9pm, with episode two of this heavily allegorical dramedy. Six-inch Lindy, played by Elizabeth Banks, is confined to a doll's house and at the mercy of Magoo the cat and a robot vacuum. Flashbacks to happier, pre-shrinkage times with husband Les, portrayed by Matthew Macfadyen, add depth to the story.
Finally, U&Drama features Bergerac at 9pm, with the first episode of a new series. A groom is found stabbed to death in a hotel room on his wedding day, drawing Bergerac, played by Damien Molony, into a web of police corruption. Simultaneously, he cautiously navigates a potential new relationship with Jersey newcomer Nicola, played by Camilla Beeput. Can the recovering alcoholic and widower catch a break?
With such a varied lineup, tonight's television offers something for everyone, from comedy and reality TV to drama and documentaries.
