Best TV shows on TV tonight
The Great British Sewing Bee, 9pm, BBC One
After such a joyful series, it’s only fitting that the nation’s favourite sewing contest ends with a celebration. The final finds the three remaining sewers hoping to wow the judges one last time for Party Week, tackling a pattern for the iconic ‘Amorphous’ stretchy dress which judge Esme created for her 1970s fashion label, Swanky Modes. No pressure, then! Making an outfit from all their scraps from the past nine weeks and a sparkly red carpet-worthy jumpsuit, the stitchers battle to be crowned champ in one of show’s most closely fought finals. Who will Esme and Patrick choose?

Lenny Henry's Caribbean Britain, 9.30pm, BBC Two
The second and final episode exploring the impact of Caribbean culture on the UK sees presenter Lenny Henry speak to the next generation of Black artists and entrepreneurs whose focus isn’t to fit in, like the generation before was told to, but to do things their own way. From theatre groups and music stars to TV shows and the democratising impact of the internet, this is a comprehensive celebration of Caribbean culture in every aspect of British culture which, as Lenny says, "has enriched our country beyond all measure".

Big Proud Party Agency, 9pm, BBC Three
Since lockdown ended, there have been a number of programmes devoted to giving deserving people a treat, and, tonight, this new series follows LGBTQ+ party planners Ryan, Teddy and Christopher – the Big Proud Party Agency – as they help to plan bespoke parties for someone nominated by their best friend. In this first episode, their challenge is to create a very special event for a surprise proposal.

The Savoy, 9pm, ITV
As the series following staff and guests at London’s Savoy hotel continues, preparations are being made to welcome international guests now that Covid restrictions have been lifted (filming took place last year). Meanwhile, the American Bar is about to reopen, but as the oldest cocktail bar in London, the pressure’s on to get it right. And talking of pressure, Guest Experience Manager Sean wants to ease the strain on his team by looking for extra staff.

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.
