George Clarke's Remarkable Renovations, 9pm, C4
Pig farmer Paul and his wife Imogen from Framlingham, Suffolk, have bought a collection of buildings, including a former Tudor pub, a blacksmith’s, a butcher’s and a slaughterhouse, with ambitions to join them together to make their dream home. Paul hopes to carry out most of the work himself in just 12 months, but the buildings have been abandoned for 70 years and are in a terrible state of disrepair, so the months quickly start to tick by. Can he really create a desirable family home out of a series of ramshackle Grade II-listed buildings?

The Savoy, 9pm, ITV
This final visit to The Savoy is an upbeat hour which takes in the many birthday, wedding and anniversary celebrations that had to be postponed while the hotel was closed during the pandemic. Restaurant Director Thierry says that since reopening almost every table in the Savoy Grill is celebrating something, while the hotel’s in-house florists are preparing approximately 20 bespoke bouquets a day. And while even the most meticulous planning can hit an unforeseen bump (surely no event planner wants to hear a bride ask, "Where is my cake?" at the wedding reception), somehow the ultra-professionalism of the staff always wins the day…

Yellowstone/1883, Paramount Plus
The modern-day Western starring Kevin Costner is one of US cable TV’s biggest shows; over here, seasons one and two have been hidden away on 5USA, and are now repeated on Paramount Plus with the unseen season three. Set in Montana, it’s a glorious if violent epic, centring on the conflict between Native Americans and ranching families. Its prequel, 1883, is also available. Paramount Plus can be found via paramountplus.com.

Best box set to watch on TV tonight
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 explosive thriller The Terminal List. The eight-part series stars Chris Pratt as Navy SEAL commander James Reece, who 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 while making their way through a series of underground tunnels. Were the terrorists tipped off by a traitor in the US? Back home, Reece is determined to uncover the truth, joining forces with journalist Katie Buranek (Constance Wu) in a bid to find out more. But as new evidence emerges, Reece discovers dark forces working against him.
Best film to watch on TV tonight
Trainspotting, 11.25pm, Film4
A young Scottish drug addict (Ewan McGregor) and his pals run head first into crisis after crisis. The foul language and graphically grim subject matter of Irvine Welsh’s cult novel may offend some, but this is a superb film, dazzlingly directed by Danny Boyle and ferociously well acted by McGregor. Robert Carlyle’s pyschotic Begbie is a monstrous creation and Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller and Kevin McKidd are also brilliant.
