Gemma (Wood) is grappling with motherhood and daydreaming about dating again, while dealing with her formerly estranged mother Davina (Jill Halfpenny) moving in. Eager to be a grandfather, Malcolm (Morrissey) goes to extremes to help her get rid of his ex. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n<p>Return to Paradise<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">8pm, BBC One<br \/>The classic trope of the locked room mystery gets a lads-on-tour twist in this instalment of the cosy Aussie cop show, as a drunken English mate of expat detective Colin (Lloyd Griffith) is implicated in a messy motel murder. Can his hyper-focused colleague Mack (Anna Samson) get to the bottom of things? Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n<p>Gardeners\u2019 World<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">8pm, BBC Two<br \/>A last visit to Monty Don before the winter sets in, and he\u2019s making leafmould from decomposing leaves, while also storing dahlias and planting tulips in pots. Elsewhere, Carol Klein looks at how to maintain spectacular garden borders throughout autumn. HR<\/p>\n<p>Empire With David OlusogaRadical \u2026 David Olusoga. Photograph: BBC\/Hillgate Films\/Voltage TV<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">9pm, BBC Two<br \/>Olusoga is, and always has been, a quietly radical historian. In the last of his three episodes on the British empire, his assessment of the collapse of the UK\u2019s global influence upends some beliefs about the two world wars, Windrush immigration and the partition of India. Talking to the descendants of the colonised brings extra clarity. Jack Seale<\/p>\n<p>All Her Fault<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">9pm, Sky Atlantic<br \/>Sarah Snook (AKA Shiv from Succession) and Jake Lacy (Shane from The White Lotus) are excellent as the desperate parents of a missing child in this twisty thriller. In this episode, errant nanny Ana returns with a story about the Chicago marathon, and details of a new suspect for Det Alcaras (Michael Pe\u00f1a) to pursue. Ellen E Jones<\/p>\n<p>The Graham Norton Show<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">10.40pm, BBC One<br \/>It\u2019s a big movie night. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson play a Neil Diamond tribute act in upcoming film Song Sung Blue. They\u2019ll join Ben Stiller \u2013 who has made a documentary about his parents \u2013 and Da\u2019Vine Joy Randolph, who stars in A24\u2019s afterlife romcom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2025\/sep\/11\/eternity-movie-review\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eternity<\/a>. HR<\/p>\n<p>Film choiceHeart-stirring \u2026 Joel Edgerton in Train Dreams. Photograph: PA<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Train Dreams (Clint Bentley, 2025), Netflix<br \/>Clint Bentley\u2019s film of Denis Johnson\u2019s novella is an epic, grief-infused American tale. Joel Edgerton plays railway worker and logger Robert, a quiet, solitary figure in his rural Idaho home town in the early 20th century. Then he marries Gladys (Felicity Jones); they build their own house and have a child, giving him a taste of simple bliss. But it doesn\u2019t last \u2026 The spirit of Terrence Malick is present here in the elegiac voiceover narration, episodic plot and heart-stirring images of the natural world. Edgerton is perfectly cast as an everyman who bears witness to his country\u2019s progress from the sidelines, not expecting much joy from life but haunted after he loses what little he does get. Simon Wardell<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The Unholy Trinity (Richard Gray, 2025), Paramount+<br \/>After his father\u2019s hanging, the callow, vengeful Henry (Brandon Lessard) turns up at the Montana settlement of Trinity in 1888 to shoot the sheriff. However, his target is already dead and Henry finds himself stuck in a town full of secrets, most involving the new lawman, Pierce Brosnan\u2019s Gabriel. Samuel L Jackson has a ball as St Christopher, an old cohort of Henry\u2019s pa, plus there\u2019s the odd posse and some hidden gold. The uncertain designation of heroes and villains is one of the pleasures of Richard Gray\u2019s solid western, with everyone having their reasons.
