Best TV shows on TV tonight
Stranger Things, season 4, volume 2, Netflix
Season four of the sci-fi smash-hit comes to an end with its second installment, which has two feature-length episodes, so there’s plenty of time for the true mystery of parallel world the Upside Down to be solved and monster Vecna to be destroyed by the gang. Will the friends be reunited with Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and her adoptive dad Hopper (David Harbour), freshly rescued from the Soviet prison camp by Joyce (Winona Ryder)? If so, they can try to rescue Nancy, left behind in the Upside Down, and face the horrors of Vecna together…

Celebrity Googlebox, 9pm, C4
We’re loving this celeb series so far and tonight’s episode is a special one, as regulars including Rylan and mum Linda and West End stars Denise Van Outen and Duncan James are joined by some of Britain’s best-loved LGBTQ+ personalities to mark 50 years of Gay Pride. We’re particularly looking forward to it as it promises lots of Strictly Come Dancing sparkle, with contributions from tough-talking judge Craig Revel Horwood, who appears alongside his good friend Ben Goddard, and Strictly favourites John Whaite and Johannes Radebe. Expect some serious sentiment -
but lots of laughs, too!

The Terminal List, Prime Video
Prime Video has already brought all-action heroes Jack Ryan and Jack Reacher to the screen, and now there’s a new tough guy on the block in this explosive thriller series. Chris Pratt stars as Navy SEAL commander James Reece, whom we first meet planning a covert mission to kill a dangerous terrorist hiding out in Syria. But the operation goes catastrophically wrong when his platoon is ambushed…
★★★★ RMC
Prime Suspect, seasons 1–7, ITV Hub
Soon to be seen as Israeli politician Golda Meir in the film Golda, Helen Mirren is no stranger to playing powerful women, with her past roles including Queen Elizabeth I, Elizabeth II (she won an Oscar for The Queen) and Catherine the Great. Between 1991 and 2006, she also starred in seven series of ITV’s BAFTA-winning Prime Suspect as Jane Tennison, one of the Metropolitan Police’s first female detective chief inspectors (Tennison later became Detective Superintendent). All series are now available to watch on ITV Hub.

Best box set to watch on TV tonight
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Disney Plus
Obi-Wan Kenobi has broken Disney Plus viewing records and now all six thrilling episodes are available to watch. The series has wowed critics since it debuted on our screens last month, but while fans have reacted positively to Ewan McGregor’s return, it’s a 10-year-old girl who’s stolen the show. Young Princess Leia, played by breakout star Vivien Lyra Blair, has captivated viewers while becoming the beating heart of this latest chapter in the space saga. With iconic figures such as Darth Vader also added to the mix, this is on course to be Disney’s most popular foray into the Star Wars universe and rumours of a second series are already swirling.
Best film to watch on TV tonight
King Richard, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere/NOW
An Oscar-winning Will Smith plays Richard Williams warts and all, as he teaches tennis to his daughters Venus and Serena in the notorious LA district of Compton, where he takes beatings from local thugs before forcing the predominantly white coaches of the sport to take him and his kids seriously. It’s an astonishing story and director Reinaldo Marcus Green tells it with a sharp eye, bolstered by a uniformly excellent cast, including youngsters Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton as Venus and Serena, and Jon Bernthal as their eventual coach, Rick Macci. It’s long but engrossing and fascinating nonetheless.
