9pm, Sky Atlantic Witchy weirdness for Halloween in this drama starring Carrie-Anne Moss and Hudson “Heated Rivalry” Williams. It hits plenty of familiar beats (mismatched cops, missing rich kid, mysterious coastal community) but lands them in a fresh way. Noah Reid is PI Charlie Rapp who has been hired to find the heir to a local fishery.
He’s paired with sceptical cop Carson (Clark Backo) and once they start digging, things get stranger and stranger. Phil Harrison 8pm, Channel 4 Conquering Europe’s most dramatic mountain range is no joke but Griff Rhys Jones has a twinkle in his eye during his travelogue. The journey begins in France, where each outdoor exertion (abseiling, ibex spotting) is offset with something more relaxing (spa soaking, a slap-up feast).
Graeme Virtue 8.30pm, ITV1 Overshadowed by the axing of Sir Tom, this competition finale will see Jones and other judges Kelly Rowland, will.i.am and two of McFly duetting with their last remaining artists. Next season, could guest mentor Cheryl join and pull the show out of irrelevancy? And can we please upgrade those ugly red chairs?
Priya Elan 9pm, Channel 4 Hospital dramas can generally be divided into snarky and wholesome, and this Aussie import is firmly in the latter camp. It focuses on a bunch of interns who, after various screw-ups, are in the last chance saloon. When a storm floods the hospital, they have no choice but to grow up.
PH The BBC’s 1992 pseudo-investigative chiller Ghostwatch is still regarded, by those lucky enough to have caught it live, as the last word in TV horror. Where else could you see Sarah Greene abducted by a poltergeist called Mr Pipes while a horrified Michael Parkinson looked on? This documentary looks at how they did it.
PH 9.25pm, BBC One Lesley Manville’s sleuthing literary editor cracks two twinned cases, one real and one fictional, in the season finale – so there’s a scene where suspects gather beneath a gazebo to find out whodunnit, then another in a drawing room. The unmasking of another wrong’un is a satisfying bonus. Jack Seale Ali G: Who Iz I (Sacha Baron Cohen, 2026), Prime Video Hot-footing it from cinemas, Sacha Baron Cohen’s satirical documentary dusts off his deluded 90s Staines wideboy rapper for a series of pranks taking aim, mostly, at American Maga and anti-woke folk and their zeal to protect the border from immigrants.
