Taking a seat with him are US chat host Ellen DeGeneres; Colin Farrell, with a moving documentary about his friend; and Gemma Chan, who stars opposite Channing Tatum in the film Josephine. Suede provide the uplifting live music from their latest album, Antidepressants. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n<p>Gardeners\u2019 World<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">8pm, BBC Two<br \/>\n  <br \/>A glimpse of GW\u2019s future: Frances Tophill takes the lead this week, rather than soon-to-depart presenter Monty Don. She\u2019s planting garlic in containers, and perennial vegetables, the sort that should provide bounty year after year with minimal maintenance, in her borders. Jack Seale<\/p>\n<p>The Walking Dead: Dead City<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">9pm, Sky One<br \/>\n  <br \/>More post-apocalyptic splatter from a very rotten Big Apple. To shore up New York\u2019s power grid, Maggie and Negan must recruit a squad of boozy miscreants \u2013 including a fireman, a chef and a porn star \u2013 for a high-risk raid. Their target? The zombie-infested Empire State Building. Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n<p>War<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">9pm, Sky Atlantic<\/p>\n<p>Messy divorce \u2026 Sienna Miller as Carla in War. Photograph: Miya Mizuno\/Sky\/HBO<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The classy divorce is quickly becoming seedy as Carla (Sienna Miller) and Morgan (Dominic West) build their cases. When Carla tells her son, he is devastated and goes to Morgan for answers (\u201cYour mum, she farts in bed \u2013 I just can\u2019t take it any more\u201d). Meanwhile, is junior lawyer\/mole Johnny (Archie Renaux) in over his head? HR<\/p>\n<p>The Last Leg<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">10.05pm, Channel 4<br \/>\n  <br \/>Josh Widdicombe is a very busy (and probably tired) man. The night before Strictly, he\u2019s back on his old late-night hosting spot with Adam Hills and Alex Brooker. Now in its 35th (!) season, the show\u2019s first guests chewing over the week that has been are comics Ellie Taylor and Tim Minchin. HR<\/p>\n<p>Grimsburg<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">12.45am, Sky One<br \/>\n  <br \/>Season three of the offbeat animated copcom continues with jaded detective Marvin Flute (voiced by Jon Hamm) bonding with his jittery son Stan over competitive hobby-horse riding. Elsewhere in town, Wynona gets brain surgery to simplify her love life. Could this be heartsick cyborg Greg\u2019s big chance? GV<\/p>\n<p>Film choice<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Masterplan (Thomas Vincent, 2026), Prime Video<\/p>\n<p>Gentleman thief \u2026 Stanley Tucci as the scheming Roger in Masterplan. Photograph: Amazon MGM Studios\/PA<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Settle back and let the estimable Stanley Tucci work his charms on you \u2026 just like his gentleman thief, Roger Cavendish, who lures his long-lost children \u2013 hacker Chiara (The White Lotus\u2019s Simona Tabasco) and explosives expert Jay (Victor Belmondo) \u2013 into a preposterous plot to steal the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in this heist comedy. The restored criminal family\u2019s tentative bonding is mere window dressing for the main business of gadgetry, disguises and uncertain motives. Much of this is from the Mission: Impossible playbook, but with Tucci in charge it often sparkles. Simon Wardell<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Moss &amp; Freud (James Lucas, 2025), HBO Max<br \/>\n  <br \/>Derek Jacobi has already portrayed, superbly, one titan of post-second world war British art, Francis Bacon (in 1998\u2019s Love Is the Devil). Now, in Lucas\u2019s fascinating snapshot of the early 2000s, he has a good stab at late-period Lucian Freud. The true story of supermodel Kate Moss (a well-cast Ellie Bamber) sitting for a painting by him is a study in similarity and contrast: she\u2019s the hard-partying doyenne of British fashion; he\u2019s the austere old master. But he has his own wild side to reckon with, while she finds a kind of stability through their regular meetings.
