More endearingly lo-fi hijinks at Keith\u2019s World of Carpets as Phil Dunning\u2019s Middlesbrough-set LGBTQ+ comedy returns. The gang are throwing a coming-out party for Stewart but after Keith busts out his terrifying homebrew (\u201cfermented for 37 years\u201d), everything gets a bit psychedelic. So the timing isn\u2019t great for Dickie (Dunning) when his ex turns up. The show never quite manages to be uproarious, but expect to snigger happily throughout.

To the Philippines, where, amid soaring healthcare costs, many are turning to faith-based treatments \u2013 everything from Catholicism-infused traditional rituals to psychic surgery \u2013 that promise cures for serious illnesses such as cancer. While some claim they have experienced remarkable recoveries, critics warn the practices are only delaying proper treatment for vulnerable people. Sahar Zand reports. Ali Catterall<\/p>\n

The series that explores National Trust properties returns with a literary-themed opener. The Greenway Estate in Devon was Agatha Christie\u2019s bolthole, inspiring her Poirot novel Dead Man\u2019s Folly. But there\u2019s a bigger mystery at Max Gate in Dorset. How did Thomas Hardy design his home\u2019s vertically mounted sundial? Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n

In its final season, the canny comedy about women in the entertainment industry has turned its focus to legacy \u2013 and the stories celebrities tell about themselves. With the finale not far off, can veteran standup Deborah (Jean Smart) conclusively go out on a high, or will the ambitions of her younger collaborator, Ava (Hannah Einbinder), get in the way?

Fred Sirieix opens his doors to another batch of hopeful romantics in this reality TV perennial, which remains cute and awkward in equal measure. Highlights this time include a former mayor with a surprisingly puerile sense of humour and an earnest activist looking for a kindred spirit. PH<\/p>\n

10.40pm, BBC One
\u201cA strong cup of coffee\u201d: that\u2019s the name of this episode \u2013 and how an excited Alex initially perceives her old mentor, Nurse Pam (Lauren Weedman), temporarily in charge at St Denis. Until that coffee starts to taste very bitter indeed. Meanwhile, Matt and Serena attempt to find out what\u2019s triggering a patient\u2019s narcolepsy. AC<\/p>\n

The Running Man (Edgar Wright, 2025), 7am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Edgar Wright\u2019s new adaptation of Stephen King\u2019s dystopian thriller is a conscious antidote to the 1987 Schwarzenegger version. The protagonist, Ben Richards, isn\u2019t a hard-bitten cop but a construction worker who learns how to be an action hero, while in Glen Powell we get a less beefy, more relatable star. The Orwellian near-future setting is familiar: a US where \u201cthe Network\u201d broadcasts violent TV shows to pacify the masses. Ben enters the titular life-or-death challenge to pay for his young daughter\u2019s medicine, hoping to evade hunters for 30 days and win a fortune. But the game is rigged \u2026 A fun action flick that would rather blow things up than hang around debating the moral issues.
