TV tonight: Noel Edmonds shows off his unusual new life in New Zealand
9pm, ITV1Noel Edmonds is an unusual man. On the face of it, this series simply documents his attempts to open a bar-restaurant in New Zealand with his wife, Liz. But the fun is in the journey not the arrival. Edmonds is obsessed with new-age woo, spending time on his 'crystal bed' and practising a workout regime he calls 'tranquil power'. He's also startlingly excited about his nail gun, calling it 'a sex toy', and regards Liz as 'an earth angel' believing she was 'a gift from the cosmos'. An eccentric cult classic in the making. Phil Harrison From 7pm, Sky ArtsWith Glastonbury a week away, warm up with a trip to Seaclose Park, home of the Isle of Wight festival. The Lottery Winners kick off the TV coverage followed by the Corrs. Other highlights include Justin Timberlake, Jess Glynne, Sting, Stereophonics and more. PH 8.30pm, BBC One'You all right bab?!' This series has accelerated Hammond's unstoppable trajectory towards national treasure status. It ends in a weekend with former boxer Tony Bellew. Hammond bonds with his wife, Rachael, almost instantly but Tony is a cagier sort. He's powerless to resist the Hammond charm offensive in the end, though. PH 9.30pm, BBC One This very funny comedy's clod-hopping central trio are under more stress than ever: they've killed a man! As Martin (Conleth Hill) pleads for calm and Diane (Rosie Cavaliero) tries to get through a sexually charged salsa-dancing date without arousing suspicion, Kath (co-creator Sian Gibson) goes and does the worst possible thing: engages with the police. Jack Seale 10pm, BBC TwoThis fascinating series in which Dr Orna Guralnik explores struggling relationships continues. This week, Alison and Rod try to unpack their constant bickering, while Jessica confronts her suspicion that she has made sacrifices her partner Boris doesn't understand. PH 10pm, Channel 4This swinger show stretches the definition of the word documentary. Sharmayne and Jamie are typical Open House residents: shy, nervous and on national TV for reasons that feel unclear. Gay couple Simon and Chris – who are opening up their relationship with women – prove more unconventional. Hannah J Davies Joker: Folie à Deux (Todd Phillips, 2024), 12.05pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema PremiereThe box office success of his supervillain origin story, Joker, was probably a surprise to its creator Todd Phillips. So a sequel is clearly a free hit for him, which explains why he's gone Broadway or bust with a full-blown musical. It helps that Lady Gaga is on board, carrying the vocal weight as Lee Quinzel, who falls for Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck while both are incarcerated in Arkham State Hospital. Their amour fou is realised in a series of fantastical numbers that are very entertaining, though the mental illness storyline is less effective. Simon Wardell The Entity (Sidney J Furie, 1982), 12.45am, Film4At first glance, Sidney J Furie's 1982 film is just an exploitation flick riding on the coattails of The Exorcist and The Amityville Horror. But between the lines of the woman-in-peril plot, in which Barbara Hershey's single mother Carla is sexually assaulted by an unseen supernatural assailant, is a story of controlling men. From Ron Silver's dismissive therapist to the university parapsychologists giddy over a big new case study – and even the invisible creature itself – attempts to force Carla into a corner founder as she fashions her own responses to her trauma.

Robbie Williams brings surprise star guest out at Co-op Live gig in Manchester
Pop superstar Robbie Williams surprised fans at the first of his two Manchester Co-op Live gigs by bringing out a surprise star guest. Former Take That star Robbie is back in the city with his new Britpop Tour. Earlier gigs on the tour have seen a string of surprise guests join Robbie on stage - including boyband Five in London.

On Tuesday night in Manchester, it was another X Factor star who joined Robbie for Relight My Fire. For Robbie announced to the crowds to huge cheers that Lucy Spraggan was joining him to sing. He had earlier brought out Thom Rylance from Wigan's own The Lottery Winners, who played as the support at the start of the night, to perform a selection of acoustic versions of his biggest hits. And Thom remained on stage to play as Lucy joined the duo. Wearing a black leatherette suit, Lucy delighted the crowd singing along to the Take That chart-topper alongside Robbie. The pals embraced at the end of the song, as Robbie said: "Show her the love she deserves." Lucy appeared in The X Factor back in 2012 and has gone on to enjoy chart success as a solo artist. Meanwhile The Lottery Winners frontman Thom had earlier hailed the gig "the best night of my life" after playing the support slot at the sold out Co-op Live arena. When he rejoined Robbie on stage during the "C stage" section of the show, the two singers bantered about what their double act would be called, settling on "The Balls". Robbie returns to Co-op Live for the second of his two shows on Wednesday night.
