6:50–7:50 BST – Magnum, P.I.
Who Is Don Luis Higgins… and Why Is He Doing These Terrible Things To Me? Thomas is hired to guard the president of a small South American country. The show keeps its 80s charm while offering a fresh twist – still entertaining for fans of detective thrillers.
7:50–9:00 BST – Robin of Sherwood
The Greatest Enemy: Tales of the legendary outlaw and his band of merry men. This adventure‑drama brings a mythic feel that still holds up well for modern viewers, offering a one‑of‑a‑kind blend of history and fantasy.
9:00–10:10 BST – Boon
When Harry Met Janice: Classic drama. Harry gets more than he bargained for when he meets an attractive woman with lingerie on her mind. While the plot may feel dated, it provides a reliable dose of quirky British humour.
10:10–11:15 BST – The Professionals
Long Shot: Action-packed drama series. The team protect a visiting American diplomat from a renowned hitman. The pace is steady and the stakes, while intense, still feel plausible – one of the better options for fans of procedural action.
14:25–15:30 BST – The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes
The Problem of Thor Bridge: The wife of a gold‑mining magnate is shot and the family’s governess is awaiting trial for murder. Holmes’ sleuthing still holds up well, offering a classic mystery with a modern twist.
18:50–21:00 BST – Sharpe
Sharpe’s Siege: Napoleonic War‑based action‑adventure. Winter 1813 – Wellington is informed by the debonair Comte de Maquerre that Bordeaux is ready to rebel against Napoleon. The historical setting still entertains viewers looking for a taste of 19th‑century drama.
21:00–23:00 BST – Benidorm
Benidorm’s first four episodes of the comedy series continue the light‑hearted adventures of the Garvey family and others at the Solana Resort. The slap‑stick humour still holds up well for a quick comedic break.
23:00–00:15 BST – New: Black Sails
XII: Seeing Flint’s rise up the ranks leaves Vane feeling like he may be a threat to his position. The nautical intrigue still offers a reliable thriller for fans of pirate‑era drama.
00:15–01:10 BST – Hell’s Kitchen
Get a Clue!: US cooking competition. The chefs must prove they can create a masterpiece as they communicate with efficiency in a secret ingredient challenge. The show still provides a reliable dose of culinary drama.
