Wimbledon 2025: Men's Singles Final
The summer of sport is reaching a peak. A fine afternoon and evening of live armchair action starts in south-west London with the conclusion of this year’s Wimbledon men’s singles tournament, and by now one of two things has happened: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have confirmed their dominance and are about to stage a rematch of their classic French Open tussle, or there’s been a shock along the way somewhere. Clare Balding is your host as the celebs and dignitaries look on from the royal box.

Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… a bunch of celebrities are diving into it for this new reality series. A cut above the usual line-up of celebs (Sir Lenny Henry, Rachel Riley, Ade Adepitan, Ross Noble, Dougie Poynter, Lucy Punch and Helen George) are in the Bahamas in a bid to conquer their fear of these misunderstood creatures.

The Couple Next Door season 2
The first series of this drama simply wasn’t very good, but that didn’t seem to matter: it became Channel 4’s biggest scripted streaming launch, with episode one garnering more than a million streams in a week.

The Great British Sewing Bee season 11
What do a fire eater, a construction worker, a bus driver and a retiree have in common? The answer is that they’re some of the 12 amateur stitchers nervously walking into the sewing room and hoping to impress judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young (who’s sporting a spectacular pleated outfit as well as her trademark statement necklace). Also returning to the Bee is presenter Sara Pascoe, whose introductory joke about the similarities between giving birth and sewing may make you wince as well as laugh.
Judging by the brilliant creations that we see parading down the catwalk, it’s going to be a vintage series.

Mix Tape
The film Past Lives is a recent, perfect bottling of the pain of a tender young relationship lost; of drifting apart from a first love, reconnecting decades later and suffering the emotional gut-punch of wondering what could’ve been.
Now, Daniel (Sturgess) is a music journalist still living in Sheffield while Alison (Palmer) is an author who has relocated to Sydney. Both are married (conveniently, to vaguely irritating and unsupportive spouses) and share the nagging feeling that life didn’t work out how they expected. So when Daniel sends Alison a friend request on Facebook out of the blue, it might be about to turn both of their lives upside down.

Bookish
The aftermath of the Second World War is a high time for lovers of crime, as morals often seem as grey as the rubble-strewn streets. Amid scarcity come those seeking shadily to profit, and down roads of supposed peace walk people considered to be heroes, but who are really harbouring secrets from their years spent in conflict.
This last detail is a smart touch, as what marks Book out from detectives who originate in the golden age is the subtle exploration of his private life. Not that Gatiss skimps on a sense of mystery in the process: this opener, for instance, includes homages to many of his well-noted passions, beginning with a skeleton-filled bomb site with the air (if not the alien matter) of Quatermass and the Pit.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3
News that a series is opening with a double bill would ordinarily be a reason to rejoice, but so tonally at odds are these instalments that I’m not sure this two-for-the-price-of-one gambit pays off. OK, so Star Trek does have a history of being a broad church in terms of the stories it tells, but there’s traditionally been a house style when it comes to language and codes of conduct.

First Night of the Proms
We’ve already experienced Wimbledon, Glastonbury and heatwaves, but for many the summer only really begins when the Royal Albert Hall opens its doors to the BBC Proms. Eight weeks of world-class music lie ahead — with 24 of the concerts due to be televised. Tonight, in a rare live simulcast for BBC Two and Radio 3, Georgia Mann and Petroc Trelawny inaugurate the 131st season and provide an expert guide to the First Night’s playlist and performers.
