Celebrity architect George Clarke is back on Channel 4 at 8pm tonight, helping people take on huge building projects for deeply personal reasons. In the first episode, he visits Matlock Bath in Derbyshire, where married couple Lauren and Lee have inherited an old cottage from Lauren’s beloved grandparents. The property requires a complete remodel of rooms and significant wall demolition, but the question remains whether Lauren’s emotional attachment to the home will sustain her through the mammoth project.
Elsewhere on TV tonight, Dragons’ Den on BBC One at 8pm features a pitch for skincare made from waste tomato ketchup and oranges. Former Charlotte Tilbury founding team member and part-time psychic medium Danielle presents the product, claiming it is both convincing and glowing. Ex-footballer Gary Neville returns as a guest Dragon, looking for business opportunities.
On Channel 5 at 9pm, a documentary follows Dave, who lives alone on a canal boat near Macclesfield, Cheshire. He moved there after the sudden loss of his wife ten years ago, and his grief remains palpable. The programme gently explores how he uses nature to recover from a series of unfortunate events.
Other highlights include Michael Portillo’s travel show on Channel 5 at 8pm, where he visits Mallorca, starting in Palma and heading north to the Tramuntana mountains. He samples local foods such as pamboli and ensaïmada. On BBC One at 9pm, Dragons’ Den continues with a pitch for children’s stories and audiobooks, while Sky Witness at 9pm airs the season seven premiere of FBI: Most Wanted, where the team searches for a missing federal judge on a remote island.
