Things look even worse for her as eager junior solicitor Johnny starts his first day on her legal team \u2013 as a mole for her husband\u2019s side. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n<p>Gardeners\u2019 World<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">8pm, BBC Two<br \/>Monty Don guides us into autumn in his last series of the well-loved gardening show. Pruning roses, planting spring cabbages and storing apples are all on the week\u2019s to-do list. Elsewhere, Rachel de Thame learns about wild flowers that help wildlife, and Toby Buckland has some handy budget gardening hacks. HR<\/p>\n<p>The Walking Dead: Dead City<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">9pm, Sky One<br \/>Road trip! With medical supplies running low, Maggie and dishy surgeon Luis strike out from zombified New York to try to locate a suspiciously well-stocked trader. But back at base, there are ominous rumblings when astute community leader Renata tries to domesticate bat-swinging badass Negan. Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n<p>Play for Today: Closing Time<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">9.05pm, Channel 5<br \/>\u201cSee anything you like?\u201d kebab shop worker Mo (Antonio Aakeel) asks Ellora Torchia\u2019s lawyer Laila. She does: him. Pity she is on her hen night, and he\u2019s an illegal migrant. Is she prepared to take the ensuing affair to another level? And what bigger dangers might they be inviting, professionally and personally? A gut-punch drama from Mina Barber. Ali Catterall<\/p>\n<p>The Graham Norton Show<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">10.40pm, BBC One<br \/>A few months ago, Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd and Olivia Colman caused quite a stir with a horny trailer for their new film Wicker \u2013 leading to many a \u201chusband material\u201d meme. Now, they\u2019re telling Graham what fans can expect. Plus, John Malkovich chats about his dark new comedy Wild Horse Nine and there\u2019s music from Orville Peck. HR<\/p>\n<p>Getting It Back: The Story of Cymande<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">10.40pm, BBC Four<\/p>\n<p>The way they were: Cymande, circa 1970. Photograph: Michael Ochs Archives\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Cult London collective Cymande were funk pioneers from the Windrush generation who found themselves marginalised in the racially charged UK of the 70s. But years after disbanding, their cosmic grooves inspired hip-hop hits in the US. This affecting film charts the group\u2019s origins, afterlife and resurgence. GV<\/p>\n<p>Film choice<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Oasis: Don\u2019t Look Back in Anger (Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, 2026), Disney+<br \/>With more sold-out dates next year, 90s rock blokes Oasis are sustaining the pomp and circumstance they generated with their 2025 reunion, the subject of this entertaining film. The two directors, with writer Steven Knight, document the tour from tense rehearsals to the warm glow of US acclaim \u2013 and, more interestingly, the thawing of relations between Liam and Noel Gallagher after 15 years of silence. The brothers\u2019 contrasting styles are endlessly fascinating: Liam, with his \u201cbig boy pants\u201d on, is cocky and sharply witty, while a nervous Noel seems surprised at how well it\u2019s all going. The hatchet-burying takes a while but there\u2019s always a singalong hit to catch while you wait. Simon Wardell<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Longlegs (Osgood Perkins, 2024), 10pm, BBC Two<\/p>\n<p>Unsettling \u2026 Maika Monroe in Longlegs. Photograph: AP<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">This is a film in which every shot is creepy. Whether it\u2019s a weird angle, shadowy lighting or just some pale yellow walls (as seen in Backrooms), there\u2019s an ever-present dread that something bad is going to happen \u2013 and it very often does. Osgood Perkins\u2019 nerve-shredding horror follows a series of crimes in which fathers murder their families, then kill themselves. Left at each scene is a letter in code, signed \u201cLonglegs\u201d. Maika Monroe\u2019s intuitive FBI agent Lee takes the case and becomes increasingly haunted by it, while Nicolas Cage gives a suitably out-there cameo as her nemesis.
