Hampton Court Palace: Behind Closed Doors

8pm, Channel 5

It’s harvest time at Henry VIII’s palace, and a perk of tending the oldest and biggest grapevine in the world is that you can snack on a piece of history. (“Very sweet,” notes one gardener.) Elsewhere, chief curator Tracy Borman becomes aware of an antique that may have links to Anne Boleyn. GV

Stereophonics: Live in Cardiff

8.40pm, BBC Two

It was supposed to be “something we can celebrate,” said frontman Kelly Jones after a miserable year of lockdown – until Omicron delayed the gig for yet another year.

Heatwave: Summer of ‘76

Summer 1976, and the UK had never been hotter. Temperatures hit 36C: people fried eggs on the pavement, the Thames dried up.

Film choice

A Simple Favour, 10.20pm, BBC One

Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) is a perky widowed mom who is dragged out of her suburban rut when she befriends high-flying fashion PR Emily (Blake Lively) – self-assured, sophisticated and married to the very eligible Sean (Henry Golding). Then Emily goes missing, and Stephanie decides to investigate … Comparisons to Gone Girl are inevitable, but Paul Feig’s blackly comic mystery is good fun on its own merits – from the 60s French pop soundtrack to Kendrick and Lively’s gleeful dismantling of a slew of female stereotypes. Simon Wardell

The Electrical Life of Louis Wain, 12.05pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere

In his TV dramas Flowers and Landscapers, writer-director Will Sharpe has given a sympathetic ear to loners and eccentrics. His stylish, and at times trippy, new film adds another to the canon: the Edwardian illustrator known for his pictures of big-eyed, anthropomorphised cats. Benedict Cumberbatch is sad and endearing as Louis, who keeps his mental health troubles – and extreme championing of felines – just about within the realms of social acceptability, while supporting his mother, five sisters and wife Emily (Claire Foy).
