Tonight's TV listings feature a range of programmes, headlined by a heartrending double bill of a drama depicting the Sixties Scoop, the historical period when Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families in Canada. The episode follows Patti Bird's fight to reclaim her children, alongside a flash-forward showing the grown Esther confronting her adoptive mother, in a story praised for its emotional power despite minimal dialogue.

Other highlights include a music-themed episode of a sewing competition featuring a Madonna-inspired challenge, a documentary series following lifeboat rescuers dealing with a capsized yacht amid a storm, and a new celebrity cooking format judged by chef Giorgio Locatelli. Also on offer are an immersive hospital documentary filmed at Southmead Hospital's A&E department, a historical account of the 1588 Spanish Armada's attempt to overthrow Elizabeth I, and the film Arthur the King starring Mark Wahlberg. Sports coverage includes US Open mixed doubles tennis and EFL Cup football between Nottingham Forest and Leeds.
