TV tonight: Tinie Tempah returns with house extension series, and Primate will test your nerves
The Guardian rounds up the evening's TV highlights, featuring Tinie Tempah's property show, Horatio Nelson Jackson's road trip documentary, and the horror film Primate.
This evening, TV viewers have a diverse lineup to choose from, ranging from home renovations to bloodthirsty chimpanzee attacks.
At 8pm on Channel 4, Tinie Tempah is back with his surprisingly popular series about house extensions. The first wealthy couple are bringing Great Gatsby glamour to their Edwardian terrace; the second are transforming their Norfolk chocolate-box cottage with an eco-build inspired by sailing. One concern: they might regret the effort afterward.
At 1.15pm on PBS America, it's Ken Burns Day, featuring Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip. Tom Hanks voices Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson's eccentric 1903 car journey across America when roads were mostly unpaved.
At 7.30pm on ITV1, Deal or No Deal: Banker's Best Battles is a compilation hosted by Stephen Mulhern. Contestant Leon, a self-confessed risk-taker who overcame serious health issues, plays it surprisingly safe.
At 8pm on Channel 5, Casualty 24/7: Every Second Counts shows a stressful day at Barnsley hospital's overcrowded A&E: 71-year-old Enid struggles to breathe, Wayne has been shot in the foot, volunteer Jane's mother arrives after a fall, and three-year-old Rory has a conker stuck up his nose.
At 9pm on BBC One, Murder 24/7 follows DCI Gareth Lougher as Chris Hemming confesses to stabbing his partner. Shot with multiple screens and shaky real-time camerawork, it's an adrenaline-pumping experience.
At 9pm on Sky Documentaries, Katie Price: Nothing to Hide might be the series finale. Katie got engaged to Lee Andrews weeks after filming. Her children Junior and Princess discuss the turbulence of recent years.
Disney+ streams The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026), where Miranda Priestly's hauteur remains intact, but former assistant Andy (Anne Hathaway) is now an award-winning journalist. The main conflict is with the internet as declining print sales threaten Runway.
Finally, on Paramount+, the horror film Primate (2025) features a chimp named Ben who becomes rabid after a mongoose bite. Living with a linguistics professor's widower and daughters in a Hawaiian clifftop home, he turns it into a deathtrap.
