Television viewers are in for a treat tonight with an impressive lineup of drama, documentaries and entertainment across multiple channels. From psychological thrillers set in Scottish holiday parks to shocking football scandals and celebrity jungle antics, there's something for every taste.
Prime Time Drama and Thrillers
Channel 4 presents Summerwater at 9pm, a six-part psychological thriller that transforms a seemingly relaxing Scottish holiday park into a claustrophobic nightmare. Based on Sarah Moss's acclaimed novel, the series dedicates individual episodes to different family cabins while weaving together their dark, unraveling secrets.
The opening episode focuses on Justine, portrayed by Valene Kane, who descends into paranoia and must confront her past alongside husband Steve, played by Daniel Rigby. The cast also features Dougray Scott and Shirley Henderson in what promises to be an increasingly tense and kinky narrative.
Meanwhile, BBC One airs the finale of Sally Wainwright's Riot Women at 9pm. The menopausal punk band drama concludes with Kitty facing her past during a prison visit, while Holly confronts corrupt officer Rudy and Beth attempts reconciliation with her angry son Tom. The strong reception suggests a second series is likely.
Gripping Documentaries and Reality TV
Sky Documentaries offers King of Lies: Football's Greatest Con at 8pm, revealing the astonishing connection between North Korea's mining industry and England's oldest professional football club. The film examines the 2009 takeover of Notts County by a dubious consortium fronted by a conman, delivering what critics describe as a head-spinning scandal that ultimately proves heartbreaking for club supporters.
ITV1 marks a milestone moment as I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! celebrates its 25th season at 9pm. The new lineup includes comedian Ruby Wax, Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp, rapper Aitch, broadcaster Kelly Brook, Jack Osbourne and former Lioness Alex Scott. Ant and Dec return to host the jungle extravaganza.
