TV tonight: hit horror series The Terror returns with Dan Stevens

Tonight's schedule is topped by the third standalone story in the horror anthology series The Terror, airing on Sky Atlantic. Set in an underfunded and possibly cursed psychiatric hospital, the story follows Dan Stevens as Peter "Pepper" Coffin, a man wrongfully committed to the institution who must confront its unsettling atmosphere. The narrative weaves together patients' past and present lives, linked by the mysterious Dr Walter, played by John Benjamin Hickey.

Nature and climate

Over on Sky Nature, a new series called Violent Earth explores the science behind natural disasters, opening with an episode on tornadoes. It is presented by actor Liev Schreiber and combines eyewitness accounts with footage filmed around the globe. ITV1 continues its series Force of Nature, which dramatises how the climate crisis affects wildlife — this instalment focuses on extreme heat, following a wombat in Australia, a leopard in Zambia and a kangaroo rat in Arizona.

Music and competition shows

BBC Four broadcasts a Mozart-themed Proms concert featuring the Third Horn Concerto and Symphony No 35, alongside works by Elgar, Britten and Thea Musgrave. Channel 4 airs another episode of The Piano, in which contestant Jamie prepares for the final alongside fellow performers, including Grace, who lost all her fingers to meningitis.

The evening wraps up with ITV1's crime drama One Dollar, centred on a single banknote passing through a struggling industrial town, and a film recommendation: Netflix's H Is for Hawk, an adaptation of Helen Macdonald's memoir starring Claire Foy, about grief and training a goshawk after her father's death.
