Here We Go<\/p>\n
9pm, BBC One
The impressive cast of Jim Howick, Katherine Parkinson, Alison Steadman and Tom Basden star in the third series of this sitcom about the Jessop family. It might not be any of their finest comedy hours, but this week there are laughs as the gang dress up for a role-play weekend \u2013 and Sue has trouble with a giant jar of gherkins.

Under the Bridge<\/p>\n
9pm, ITV1
More from Lily Gladstone and Riley Keough\u2019s underrated Canadian true-crime drama about the gang of teenagers who killed 14-year-old Reena Virk in 1997. Police officer Cam (Gladstone) and writer Rebecca (Keough) have their own history to revisit as they delve into the dark motivations of the gang. HR<\/p>\n
And Just Like That<\/p>\n
9pm, Sky Comedy
Following a run of truly boring episodes, that shock breakup has woken us all up. Is it really the end of Aidan and Carrie (again)? Most of us hope so, but then again the prospect of her getting with the grumpy English writer downstairs instead is equally unbearable. HR<\/p>\n
The Secret Life of Trees<\/p>\n

The arboreal facts come thick and fast in this sweeping series about our leafy friends. But because the narrator is Michael Palin, the overall vibe remains amiable and soothing. The notable trees spotlighted in this episode include a towering 200-year-old Corsican pine that has twice survived being struck by lightning. Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n
Whitstable Pearl<\/p>\n
9pm, U&Drama
It\u2019s the annual physics fair in Whitstable! The perfect setting for a crime. Sure enough, a little girl goes missing while in her nanny\u2019s care. When a local psychic says she can feel the child\u2019s presence, private detective Pearl (Kerry Godliman) takes her seriously. HR<\/p>\n
Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys<\/p>\n
9.30pm, BBC One
Here\u2019s a fifth series for Brendan O\u2019Carroll\u2019s sitcom, which is most kindly described as divisive. Still, despite defying conventional notions of taste, it shows no sign of disappearing. Back in Finglas, Cathy is launching a podcast. Will Agnes find a way of gatecrashing and ruining this project?

My Oxford Year (Iain Morris, 2025), Netflix<\/p>\n

My Oxford Year comes with a terrific pedigree. Based on Julia Whelan\u2019s partly autobiographical novel and directed by The Inbetweeners\u2019 Iain Morris, this is a romantic comedy drama about a young American woman (Sofia Carson) who moves to the UK to study at Oxford, and finds herself being swept away by a handsome Brit (Corey Mylchreest). But what will derail their love first \u2013 her moving back home, or his dark, tragic secret? A slightly generic but admirably sincere exploration of relationships that come with expiration dates. And it\u2019ll do wonders for the Oxford tourist board. Stuart Heritage<\/p>\n
Miracle on 34th Street (Les Mayfield, 1994), 1.05pm, Film4
Since Christmas in July is becoming more and more mainstream, it only makes sense that Film4 should get in on the act. A Christmas Carol is on today, as is Jingle All the Way, but the real gold lies in Les Mayfield\u2019s 1994 remake \u2013 which is charm personified. Co-written by John Hughes, the star attraction is Richard Attenborough at his twinkliest as Kriss Kringle, a man dragged into a court case after declaring himself to be Santa. What\u2019s so remarkable is just how utterly festive the film is, despite being a courtroom drama about a potentially deluded old man.
