Lydia West stars in the offbeat Australian comedy-drama He Had It Coming, airing at 11.15pm on BBC Three. The series follows a grungy feminist art student, Elise (West), and her unlikely new influencer mate, Barbara (Natasha Liu Bordizzo), who get drunk and deface a statue – only to wake up and find that the institution's star athlete was killed in the same spot overnight. The question is: can they cover their tracks?
Other highlights tonight
At 7pm on BBC Four, the Los Angeles Philharmonic returns to the Proms, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, a surprise World Cup final half-time show participant. The evening pairs Beethoven's ecstatic Seventh Symphony with Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz's Revolución diamantina.
At 9pm on BBC Two, the Bergerac reboot emphasises the darker aspects of detective Jim Bergerac's character. As the endgame approaches, Bergerac seems to have the measure of Pippa Haywood's Margaret, but there's a danger that his emotional investment in catching Cate's killer might blow him off course.
Comedy and more
Frank Skinner returns to the standup special with 30 Years of Dirt at 9pm on Sky One. Skinner riffs on pensioner-age concerns, including the appearance of his long-term partner (“She doesn't even have laughter lines!”), Harold Shipman, and landlines.
At 10pm on Sky One, Grimsburg offers more adult animated fun from hapless detective Marvin Flute (voiced by Jon Hamm), whose titular town has become ever more comically crime-ridden. This time, a homage to a particular genre of American teen fiction as Flute visits a summer camp where a slasher is leaving a trail of bloody destruction.
At 10.40pm on BBC One, Ann Droid sees robots go camping. Diane Morgan's comedy drama about a widow and her carer robot just gets funnier and more poignant as Sue (Sue Johnston) and Linda (Morgan) stay at a campsite. But as the series heads to its end, so too does the question of Linda's future.
Film choices
Hamnet (Chloé Zhao, 2025) airs at 8.10am and 8pm on Sky Cinema Premiere. Paul Mescal plays William Shakespeare, but it's Jessie Buckley's Oscar-winning turn as Agnes – the Bard's unsung wife – that gives the drama its gut-wrenching power. Agnes is the heart to Will's brain, more attuned to the mysteries of the natural world, and aware that his genius will take him away from her. Their differing reactions to a family tragedy push them further apart. Hamnet is a difficult book to adapt, but Zhao has pulled it off brilliantly.
On Falling (Laura Carreira, 2024) airs at 11.05pm on BBC Two. Portuguese immigrant Aurora (Joana Santos) works as a “picker” in an Amazon-style warehouse in Scotland. It's a monotonous but time-sensitive job that has reduced her to a zombie-like state; she's too tired and poor to enjoy her free time and struggles to connect with her mostly foreign colleagues and flatmates. When her phone needs a costly repair, that's all it takes to tip her over the edge. Carreira's debut feature is heart-breaking social realism with a Ken Loach feel, but where he rails at capitalism's evils, Carreira sees bureaucratic indifference.
