This evening's television schedule offers a compelling mix of heartfelt camaraderie and gripping political drama, ensuring there's something for every viewer.
Intimate Moments and Laughter by the River
At 9pm on BBC Two, Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing returns with its unique blend of humour and poignant reflection. This week, the angling buddies, Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer, continue their journey in the stunning scenery of the Scottish Highlands. The episode promises laughter, such as Paul's dream about marrying a miraculously hirsute Bob, but also delves into more serious territory as they openly discuss health concerns, including Paul's recent skin biopsy. Amidst the quest to catch Bob's first salmon on a fly, the series continues to showcase the deep and enduring friendship between the two comedians.
Unseen Treasures and Woolly Feasts
For those with an interest in history and unique artefacts, Antiques Roadshow: Unseen Treasures airs at 8pm on BBC One. Host Fiona Bruce presents a collection of remarkable items that didn't feature in the regular episodes, including a telegram from Ringo Starr, Queen Victoria's parasol, and a mask from The Phantom of the Opera.
Meanwhile, Channel 4's gentle knitting competition, Game of Wool: Britain's Best Knitter, takes a culinary turn at 8pm. As the contest enters its fifth week, contestants are crafting yarn-based versions of a roast dinner and seafood ramen. Host Tom Daley and judges Di Gilpin and Sheila Greenwell will be looking for the ultimate in textured perfection.
Gripping Drama and Ghoulish Nights
At 9pm on BBC One, the moving and powerful drama Prisoner 951 continues its portrayal of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's internment. The episode brings a moment of relief as Nazanin is moved out of solitary confinement into a more comfortable prison. However, this hope is tragically short-lived, as careless remarks by the then Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, severely weaken her position and land her in greater danger.
Later, at 9.30pm on BBC Two, Daisy May and Charlie Cooper’s NightWatch heads to a remote bothy in the Scottish Highlands for a final, spooky sleepover. The siblings are warned of ghoulish faces at the window and footsteps in empty rooms, an experience that brings them even closer together in this joyfully observed series.
For horror fans, Sky Max's Revival airs at 10pm. This flashback episode rewinds to two years before "Revival Day," providing crucial context about deputy Dana and the case that tarnished her local reputation in the strange Wisconsin town where the dead have returned to life.
