**Saturday Night Live UK** returns to Sky One at 10pm, offering a welcome distraction on autumn evenings. Initially expected to struggle as a U.S. late-night import, the show found unexpected success thanks to Jack Shephard’s memorable portrayal of Princess Diana. This season promises more of the same, with returning comedy talents, newcomer Freddie Meredith, and a special guest host, Jeff Goldblum.
On BBC Two at 7.10pm, **HR Last Night of the Proms** marks the emotional end of the Proms season. Hosted by Katie Derham and Nick Mohammed, the event features a mix of classical music highlights, from Bernstein’s Overture to Candide to Holst’s Jupiter and selections from Guys and Dolls. The traditional Land of Hope and Glory will also be broadcast on BBC One at 9pm.
At 8.15pm on BBC One, **The Celebrity Inner Circle** continues its run as a quiz show that blends elements of QI and The Traitors.

Contestants, including a stand-up comedian and a “retired granny,” are paired with celebrities in a battle of wits, with the winner taking home £18,000.
**Priya Elan The Box** airs at 8.15pm on ITV1, continuing Gary Lineker’s unconventional celebrity gameshow. The show, which has been described as baffling, includes tasks like a witless debate at the Oxford Union and a physically challenging swim in Brighton’s murky sea. Contestants must decipher the show’s logic to win a cash prize.
**Jack Seale Beck** begins at 9pm on BBC Four, featuring Martin Beck, a seasoned detective in Stockholm, as he investigates the murder of a 17-year-old girl. His investigation is complicated by a vigilante with a personal vendetta, adding layers of tension to the crime-solving process.

**In the Grey**, now streaming on Prime Video, is a typical Guy Ritchie action thriller, minus the cockney accents.

The film blends fast-paced action with moral ambiguity.
**The History of Sound** airs at 7.50am and 2.50pm on Sky Cinema Premiere. Starring Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor, the film is a melancholic romance set during World War I. It follows two men whose lives intersect through music and unfulfilled love, with cinematography and choreography that highlight the film’s emotional depth.
At 9.50am on BBC Two, **The Red Shoes** is a 1948 meta-dance-thriller by Powell and Pressburger.
