Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure

9pm, ITV1

It’s been the unexpected eccentric hit of the summer, but it’s time to say goodbye to Edmonds and his new life in New Zealand. First, though: he wants to marry Liz … for a fifth time! After all, there is a chapel on their estate. He calls on his global operations director (“GOD”) to prepare the ceremony, while Edmonds tries to rescue his flailing business. “I totally accept that there are people who totally dismiss me as being crazy,” he says. “Am I bothered about that? No, I’m not.” Hollie Richardson

Our Yorkshire Shop: A Victorian Restoration

8pm, Channel 4
With one week until the grand reopening of Peacock & Verity, volunteers in Masham race to perfect their beloved Victorian grocers. Although the cafe is complete, a striking window display is still needed, so the team visits Castle Museum in York in search of inspiration. Ali Catterall

Chicago Fire

8pm, Sky Witness
It’s a triple-whammy for the Windy City series, with this bumper crossover episode bringing together the Fire, Med and PD strands. The catastrophic event uniting all the responders on this occasion is a gas explosion, which causes a fire and results in a subway tunnel caving in. HR

And Just Like That

9pm, Sky Comedy
Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and friends have more light drama to deal with as the third season of the now much less cringeworthy Sex and the City sequel continues. Old flames, new romances and the intoxicating promise of Carrie becoming a (pretty cheesy) novelist are all swirled together in another sweetly escapist update. Jack Seale

First Dates

10pm, Channel 4
Look out for a couple of new waiters in this series: Gerald and Kyle, who love to entertain. They will be serving Rebecca, who needs to find someone half-decent (anyone?) who is also a fan of Boris Johnson. Then there is Anna, who wants a beach buddy – will a surfer do? HR

St Denis Medical

A double bill of the warm and amiable US mockumentary that shows flashes of greatness. Supervising nurse Alex is horrified to discover that she is the executor of her colleague Joyce’s will. Elsewhere, poor online reviews irk the medics, even as a fed-up Dr Ron declares: “Who cares … it’s a hospital, not a Mexican restaurant!” Hannah J Davies

Film choice

Wicked (Jon M Chu, 2024), 10am and 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
If you consider yourself a musical agnostic, Wicked might be best enjoyed on a television screen. Consumed in one sitting – so long, so many songs performed at such an unwavering high intensity – anyone undecided might find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer onslaught of the thing. But if you are ready for the plunge, Jon M Chu’s Wizard of Oz prequel is an extravaganza. The performances are fantastic, especially Ariana Grande, whose years spent toiling down the Disney Channel mines manifest themselves in a remarkable lightness of touch. The ambition is faultless. And if you aren’t moved by the walloping final performance of Defying Gravity, you may be dead inside. Stuart Heritage

Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires (Paul Hoen, 2025), Disney+

If you are an adult with unfiltered access to the broad sweep of horror, perhaps Disney’s Zombies franchise has passed you by. But if you are a child – sufficiently interested in horror to want to dip your toes in, but not quite ready for outright gore – Zombies is manna from heaven. It’s High School Musical, in essence, but with a vaguely supernatural bent. Previous instalments have introduced werewolves and aliens; this time, we get vampires. Featuring songs such as Don’t Mess With Us and Kerosene, it’s lightweight fluff, but highly enjoyable. SH
