Uncanny

9pm, BBC Two

Danny Robins probes more paranormal investigations: are you team believer or team sceptic? The first case is on a remote farm in Bury – Liam grew up there and was so terrified by the ghostly presence of a little boy that he couldn’t go upstairs alone. His parents later told him about their own experiences, plus information about who lived there before them … Hollie Richardson

Monty Don’s British Gardens

8pm, BBC Two

“We absorb our history in gardens,” says Don, as he ventures ever farther south, reaching London and the home counties. George Harrison’s old mansion is the first port of call on a tour that also takes in London’s largest rooftop woodland – on top of the old Battersea power station. Jack Seale

The Good Ship Murder

8pm, Channel 5

Who doesn’t love influencers? Such delightfully inspiring and helpful souls. Except somebody’s just murdered one of them. When Tony Tong (Yin Wang) is found dead on a Gozo beach, Jack and Kate race to clear the name of prime suspect Jamil, while straining to keep their partnership professional, in the latest Maltese maritime caper. Ali Catterall

Travel Man: 48 Hours in Malmö

8.30pm, Channel 4

Rose Matafeo is Joe Lycett’s final travel buddy of the series, and they’re off to Sweden for a jam-packed couple of days. A circus-themed hotel is their base, as they head out to the Disgusting Food Museum, Ribersborg Kallbadhus and the Turning Torso: the world’s first twisting tower. HR

Death in Paradise

9pm, BBC One

An unusually upsetting death reopens the Caribbean’s cosiest crime drama. It would have to be something serious to keep DI Mervin Wilson (Don Gilet) on Sainte Marie. He’s desperate to get back to London, but gets waylaid en route to the airport. This island does have a special knack for retaining officers. Ellen E Jones

The Graham Norton Show

10.40pm, BBC One

Bridget Jones herself – Renée Zellweger – leads the sofa tonight, with new onscreen love interest Leo Woodall (One Day, The White Lotus). Sterling K Brown, who stars in new thriller show Paradise, joins them, along with Anthony Mackie and Cyndi Lauper. HR

Film choice

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (George Miller, 2024), 11.40am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere

Having created a truly memorable character in Charlize Theron’s one-armed trucker Furiosa for his Mad Max sequel Fury Road, George Miller couldn’t let her lie. However, this is no mere rerun. It’s Furiosa’s origin story, with Anya Taylor-Joy fierce and focused as the girl abducted from her hidden valley home, the Green Place, and forced to live by her wits in a desert world of violence and rough justice. Chris Hemsworth is a riot as Dementus, the vainglorious leader of a biker gang who challenges the power of the three dominant fiefdoms – Citadel, Gastown and the Bullet Farm – amid epic landscapes and reassuringly thrilling petrolhead action.
