TV tonight: the return of excruciating sitcom Such Brave Girls
8pm, Channel 4A confusingly uninspiring new documentary series that follows staff and travellers on two luxury cruises. It's not that you are left wanting a disaster to happen, just something a tad more dramatic than a basket-sleigh-riding excursion in Madeira. Where's Jane McDonald when you need her? HR
9pm, U&DramaThe superb period drama about the scandalous lives of the six Mitford sisters gets chillingly prescient as the growing fascist movement divides the family. Nancy attends an Oswald Mosley rally as research for her next book, Unity moves to Munich in the hope of meeting Hitler, and Jessica is inspired by her cousin, who has left school to join the communist cause. HR
9pm, Channel 4Chaos reigns. Of course it does – it's the grand final of this purely delightful show. While Rosie Ramsey sports a wooden box like an oversized fascinator, Mathew Baynton menaces a puppy, Jason Mantzoukas and Stevie Martin start a local business and Fatiha El-Ghorri kicks a door in. There can be only one winner. Ali Catterall
9pm, Sky Max
Justin Theroux joins a roster of top-tier guest stars for the penultimate episode of Natasha Lyonne's hit whydunnit caper. This time, prolific amateur sleuth Charlie (Lyonne) helps a mate who is the prime suspect in a murder at a wedding. HR
10pm, Channel 4The final two-parter of Rosie Jones's eccentric comedy about disabled drug dealers. Emily (Jones) finds herself in danger when she meets her girlfriend's dad, who is none other than fearsome rival crime boss Lennie Kennedy. Cue a finale filled with mayhem, blood and Emily forgetting to wipe her sophisticated plan off a hospital whiteboard. Hannah J Davies

Stars of new thriller The Assassin appear as trailer released
Prime Video also released the action-packed trailer for The Assassin on Thursday, which features Hawes as retired assassin Julie – who is forced to fight for survival alongside her estranged son Edward, played by Freddie Highmore. The trailer shows Hawes transformed into a gun-wielding action woman, complete with blood-splattered face and clothes. 'I used to do bad things. For money,' she says in one scene. Hawes and Highmore appeared for a photocall at the Soho Hotel in central London alongside other actors who appear in the new series, including Shalom Brune-Franklin and Devon Terrell. The six-part thriller sees the characters Julie and Edward forced to flee an idyllic remote Greek island and go on the run together when Julie's dangerous past catches up with her. Hawes previously said she felt 'so lucky' to have spent last summer in Athens with the 'wonderful' Highmore and the 'high-calibre' cast and crew. The series is the latest project by writing duo brothers Harry and Jack Williams, who produced the hit comedy Fleabag and created the thriller series The Tourist starring Jamie Dornan. Hawes has previously starred in hit series including Line Of Duty, Bodyguard and Spooks, as well as Channel 4 drama It's A Sin and ITV political drama Stonehouse. Highmore, who starred as the titular character in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory as a child, previously said it was a 'joy' to work on the project. 'It doesn't get better than a Greek adventure alongside the lovely and incomparable Keeley Hawes,' he added.

The recommission may come as a surprise as they risked their reality show being axed after being accused of breaking strict BBC rules. They risked the wrath of Corporation bosses, by plugging their products while on the show. Stacey Solomon's career so far Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career. The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the 'Girls' category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I'm A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I'm A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash - who'd won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff. Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019. Loose Women (2016 - present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012. Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants' living spaces after removing clutter. In one scene, Stacey told the cameras: 'I'm going to be trying on my last summer collection. I have brand partnerships and design different things for those brands. Anything from homeware to clothing lines.' And she also teased plans for her own perfume brand, telling viewers: 'I've wanted to do this for so long now. Creating a perfume. I would love to sort of create scents from Pickle Cottage that really make me happy.' Stacey has also namechecked her haircare brand and homeware range, and hubby Joe has cooking account and family coffee company. This all breaks editorial rules to plug commercial deals on air, as they clearly state: 'No on-air talent should promote products, goods, services or clothing they use on air.' The rules go on to say that this includes anything they have 'agreed, or been contracted, to promote or in which they have financial interest.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'Stacey & Joe is a reality series following the daily lives of the couple which includes their work. "All commercial relationships featured are made clear to the audience and only included where editorially justified.' 6 Joe will reunite with Suzanne once again for another season of Batch From Scratch Credit: Patch Dolan / Channel 4 6 Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash 'risked their reality show being axed' Credit: BBC 6 They were accused of breaking strict BBC rules after namechecking Stacey's haircare brand and homeware range Credit: BBC
