The Split Up<\/p>\n
9pm, BBC One
A spin-off from Abi Morgan\u2019s The Split, this is another glossy divorce drama with the same soapy beats \u2013 and more lawyers who have a better handle on their clients\u2019 relationships than their own. Aria is expecting to inherit her family\u2019s Manchester firm from her bereaved father; it\u2019s why she\u2019s been putting off her own wedding for 10 years. But an old flame, a high-profile case with a podcasting couple and the discovery of an affair soon change her course. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n
The Great Celebrity Pottery Throwdown 2026<\/p>\n
7.45pm, Channel 4
Surely, there\u2019s a high risk of comedians Lucy Beaumont, Fatiha El-Ghorri and Richard Herring \u201ccracking\u201d up their competition in this starry ceramics contest? Host Liza Tarbuck keeps it under control as they are tasked with making a kids\u2019 desk set and pulling off the art of sprigging. HR<\/p>\n
Wilderness With Simon Reeve<\/p>\n

Simon Reeve has never been afraid to get his hands dirty, and this four-part series of journeys to the most remote regions of Earth sees him plunging into more muddy, gripping adventures.

Smashing police misogyny and solving crimes is all in a day\u2019s work for DI Emma Crane (Michelle Keegan) in this new drama. After a teenage girl is murdered in murky circumstances, detectives search for answers, but it\u2019s the subplot of corruption and wrongdoing that\u2019s the one to watch. Hannah Verdier<\/p>\n
Apocalypse<\/p>\n
9pm, Channel 4
The latest reality spectacle loosely masquerading as a social experiment continues to be entertaining. Things get a bit Walking Dead this time as baseball bats are brandished after a dispute over stolen chickens threatens to escalate. However, one of the Westsiders is disaffected and pondering a defection. PH<\/p>\n
Wilder<\/p>\n
9pm, Sky Documentaries
An interesting companion piece to 2023\u2019s Remembering Gene Wilder, Chris Smith\u2019s intimate film focuses more on the actor\u2019s anxieties, perfectionism, withdrawal from public life and search for meaning. Archive, interviews and previously lost footage flesh out the picture, while Wilder\u2019s nephew Jordan Walker-Pearlman provides a personal lens. Ali Catterall<\/p>\n

The brutal realities of prison life in Britain are dissected in Cal McMau\u2019s claustrophobic, sweatily tense drama. David Jonsson, soon to be the next Black Panther, plays a very different hero here: Taylor, a drug addict incarcerated for manslaughter. He\u2019s soon to be eligible for parole so he\u2019s trying to keep his head down. Unfortunately, his new cellmate, Dee (a menacing Tom Blyth), will do anything to take over the jail\u2019s drug trade from Paul (Alex Hassell, definitely not in Rivals mode) and forces the desperate Taylor to assist him.

How to Live on Earth (Fredi Devas, 2026), YouTube
Benedict Cumberbatch\u2019s measured tones introduce \u201cthe world\u2019s greatest how-to video\u201d \u2013 Fredi Devas\u2019s suggestion box of solutions to the climate crisis. The documentary sweeps across the globe from China to Chad, Brazil to Singapore, with chapters focusing on ways to protect and respect nature, create sustainable agriculture, even put a monetary value on biodiversity. It\u2019s all tentatively optimistic despite the devastation on display, and the praiseworthy activists and scientists profiled offer at least some hope for the future. SW<\/p>\n
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (Matthew Johnson, 2026), 6.45am, 6.15pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
This mockumentary is a sequel to a 2007 Canadian web series and 2017 Vice TV sitcom you probably haven\u2019t heard of. But don\u2019t let that get in the way of enjoying a gloriously silly Back to the Future rip-off. Endearingly inept Toronto musicians Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol (playing themselves) decide to skydive from the CN Tower to promote a gig they haven\u2019t even secured. But an inadvertent trip in a time-travelling RV throws their plan into comic chaos. SW<\/p>\n
