Wednesday Night TV on ITV3: A Mix of Nostalgia and Mystery That Still Holds Up

Starting early with a lighthearted sitcom, the evening progresses into classic soaps, a detective drama, and a longtime crime series, giving viewers a balanced mix of familiar comfort and engaging intrigue.

George and Mildred – A Domestic Comedy that Still Holds Up

Just the Job: Domestic sitcom spin‑off from the hit ’70s show Man About the House. George finally finds his vocation, but it’s a line of work that may make him unpopular. S4 Ep1

Opinion: The show’s humor feels a bit dated, yet the chemistry between the leads remains reliable.

Classic Emmerdale – A Day in the Woolpack

Maisie buys into Val’s plan to persuade Diane to give up the Woolpack, while Aaron and Victoria’s increasing closeness causes concern. Lexi is worried by her fiance’s behaviour.

Opinion: The classic drama still offers a slice of rural life, though the plot twists can feel routine.

Classic Coronation Street – Tensions in the Factory

Julie stands up to Tony and insists he fire her, but a stranger’s arrival changes everything. Gail pays off a pile of Joe’s bills, and Leanne offers Michelle a job in the bookies.

Opinion: The long‑running show keeps its characters grounded, with the new conflict adding a fresh layer.

Agatha Christie’s Poirot – The ABC Murders

The ABC Murders: When Mrs Ascher of Andover is found murdered with an ABC Rail Guide placed near to her, Poirot finds himself starting on a manhunt through the alphabet. S4 Ep1

Opinion: Poirot’s meticulous sleuthing remains one of the better options for a classic mystery fix.

Heartbeat – State of Mind

State of Mind: Nostalgic drama series. An elderly man appears to be losing his mind, but Steve and Liz are determined to prove that he does not need to go into a home. S13 Ep9

Opinion: The episode still holds up with its gentle storytelling.

Midsomer Murders – Destroying Angel

Destroying Angel: Feature‑length drama. The death of a hotel owner leads to murder and intrigue as DCI Barnaby uncovers a web of illicit affairs and shady business dealings. S4 Ep2

Opinion: The long‑running series continues to deliver a satisfying blend of suspense and village charm.

Lewis – What Lies Tangled

What Lies Tangled: The final episode of the detective drama series. Lewis and Hathaway are called in to investigate when an idyllic Oxford summer’s day is shattered by a parcel bomb. S9 Ep3

Opinion: The episode concludes the series with a solid mixture of intrigue and character closure.
