Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids (8pm, Channel 4)
When faced with freshly plastered walls, what creative kid could resist adding a couple of little scratchy doodles? After discovering that her girls have already started leaving their marks, Yorkshire shepherd Amanda Owen wisely packs some marshmallows and whisks them all off for an old-school camping trip to Boggle Hole. While the ongoing farmhouse conversion dries out, it’s left to her ex-husband Clive and their son Miles to make the grounds look less like a building site. According to Graeme Virtue, this episode offers a charming escape.

TFI Friday Unplugged (11.05pm, Channel 4)
Evans continues his transferred-from-YouTube, basically-a-radio-show version of the 1990s laddish classic. That familiar side-on desk set-up is quite the nostalgic rush: the show’s recent trial run boosted Channel 4’s 11pm ratings enough for it to be brought back for six new episodes, notes Jack Seale.
Iris Prize Best British Shorts (3.45am, Channel 4)
This intriguing series of short LGBTQ+-themed films continues with Meat Raffle, a funny, eccentric story about a closeted dad who is terrified that somehow, he’s turning his son gay too.

Film Choice: Nosferatu the Vampyre (Werner Herzog, 1979), 12.40am, Talking Pictures TV
It may have been overshadowed by Robert Eggers’ film of 2024, but this 1979 homage to FW Murnau’s 1922 silent masterpiece remains among the most haunting vampire movies of all time. Herzog’s frequent collaborator Klaus Kinski plays the undead count with unusual pathos, while French actor Isabelle Adjani is well cast as the bloodsucker’s victim, caught between her immediate disgust and her growing desire. It’s the imagery, though, which lingers, including 11,000 live rats and the mummified corpses from an 1833 cholera epidemic, according to Ellen E Jones.
