TV tonight: Bill Bailey's incredibly moving art show
Bill Bailey presents a surprisingly moving art show that follows the creation of portraits of remarkable people.

From the warm and wet gardens of south-west England to the idealised gardens of the English landscape movement, notably Capability Brown's exquisite artificial landscapes, there's elegance and exoticism galore in Monty Don's series finale, beginning at Rousham House in Oxfordshire – 'mainly because I love it!'

Is it really possible to stab someone to death while they're midair on a gameshow zipline? According to this perennial, ludicrous murder-mystery drama, it is. In fact, it might even be the death-packed sunny whodunnit's hammiest episode yet. Alexi Duggins

Tell me more, tell me more: Greece is the word, as cruiser Calman sets sail on the Aegean Sea aboard a gigantic passenger ship nimble enough to reach a different port every day. That means dazzling white beaches, dancing on top of bars and gamely trying to conceal a lifelong hatred of olives. Graeme Virtue

Norton recently admitted that Robert De Niro's anecdote had to be cut the last time he was a guest because it was so long – will the actor bring it up as he returns to flog his new political thriller Zero Day? Mikey Madison, Alan Carr, Holly Willoughby, Elton John and Brandi Carlile also join in. HR
The Bikeriders (Jeff Nichols, 2023), 11.25am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Even by Hollywood standards, you'd be hard pressed to find a film as poorly treated as The Bikeriders. First bumped from schedules due to strikes, the film was then shopped around to other studios before it limped into cinemas last summer. And yet The Bikeriders is great. A 1960s motorcycle outlaw drama by Jeff Nichols (of Mud and Midnight Special renown), it features Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer, along with newly minted star Austin Butler, all doing brilliant work. Treat this as an opportunity to right a historic wrong. Stuart Heritage

Destination X's Nick breaks silence after clashing with Saskia before exit
Destination X star Nick has spoken out about his exit from the BBC One show and his on-screen clash with fellow contestant Saskia after becoming a fan favourite ** This article contains spoilers for Destination X episode seven ** Destination X viewers will be still in shock after tonight's episode, which saw star Nick Butter become the latest contestant to leave the competition. Now, Nick has opened up about the dramatic episode - and his on-screen clash with Saskia - in an interview with The Mirror. Tonight's episode saw Nick become the latest contestant to leave the show after his location prediction was the furthest away from their real location - Pula, Croatia. "I got a little unlucky," he told The Mirror. "The game morphed as it went along and my time came. I was at peace with it, to be honest. It happens. I wasn't devastated but I was gutted that I so nearly knew where I was. I just didn't know it was the place." Before leaving the bus however, Nick found himself coming up against fellow contestant Saskia. The pair butted heads frequently throughout the show but this was their biggest clash by far - with Saskia telling him off for being negative as Nick accusing her of playing a game. How are the pair now that Nick has left the game? "I absolutely admire everybody on the bus and I completely genuinely mean that," he said. "At the time, don't get me wrong, you feel like you're kind of grinding your teeth a little bit, biting your tongue, trying to not just be polite, but you're completely deprived, you're going through challenges, you're trying to win 100 grand, you're going to be p****d off with people." He added: "But I think all the way through everybody on the bus was polite, courteous enough, and importantly, everybody understood that it was a game. Everyone started playing it at different times, but everybody understood it was game and our individual personalities, if they clashed or otherwise, we all understood that we were decent people." As for him and Saskia, Nick revealed that they've stayed in touch after the show. "Sask and I, we could probably argue about everything forever because we have just come from things from such polar angles. But that's also part of, like I said, part of the reason to do the show and why I think people enjoy watching it. "Because you wouldn't usually get her and I in the same room so that was that was great and we've all kept in touch. She's smart as well and she's a good person - just different from me." With Nick's Destination X journey over, the long-distance runner has his sights set on presenting. "I'd love to do some presenting. I'd love to some TV stuff with sport," he said. "I'm not expecting it but I'd love the doors to be opened to other opportunities in TV. Potentially not reality TV stuff because I feel like that box is ticked. I mean if there's another big adventure program there then naturally I'm probably going to want to do it anyway. But the early career and long-term-wise, you know, if I can do some form of presenting or host a show. Even do something with the next series of Destination X that would be great fun."
