Tonight's television highlights are led by a Sky Arts special reuniting stage and screen veterans Judi Dench and Ian McKellen, who reminisce over tea joined by Dench's parrot, Sweetheart. The pair recall first meeting on stage in 1967 and share candid, often mischievous anecdotes, offering a warm and nostalgic hour of entertainment from two of Britain's best-loved performers.

Other picks include ITV1's faster-paced revival of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, coverage of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle, and Fred Sirieix beginning a new travel series by staying at Marrakech's luxurious Royal Mansour hotel on Channel 4. Also featured are a murder-mystery episode of U&Alibi's detective drama, a medical documentary from Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre, Luc Besson's 1997 sci-fi film The Fifth Element on Sky Sci-Fi, and live snooker from the British Open in Cheltenham.
