Best TV shows on TV tonight
Not Going Out season 13, 9 pm, BBC One
Lee will never complain again about not being allowed to rest in peace after he wakes up tonight in a coffin while on his reckless cousin’s stag do. A call from his undertaker kin, Andy (Coronation Street’s Jonny Dixon), reveals that, under the influence (of course), Lee bet he could spend the night in a casket.
Unfortunately, the coffin Andy and his pals nailed Lee into is now missing and location tracking is placing him in a graveyard. As the plot unfolds, things get worse. Lee’s been in many a hole before, but never one as dead funny as this.

Sister Boniface Mysteries season 2, 9 pm, UKTV Play
When a pirate-radio DJ dies, Sister Boniface (Lorna Watson) is on the scene before you can say ‘groovy tunes’. Scoffing at the initial verdict of an amphetamine-induced heart attack, she instead explains why it’s ‘foul play’ with the help of ‘Colin the Compass’. (Could Sister B’s success rate be ascribed to everyone glazing over during her nerdy ramblings, leaving her free to investigate unencumbered?) Look out for Last Tango in Halifax’s Josh Bolt in a guest role.

Five Star Kitchen, 8 pm, Channel 4
As the series reaches its finale after six weeks, for one night only, the three remaining chefs must run the Palm Court at The Langham hotel as if it were their own restaurant, featuring a five-star menu of their own devising. Who will impress judge Michel Roux Jr enough to win the prize – the chance to take over that very restaurant in real life?

First Night of the Proms, 7 pm, BBC Two
You know you’re in the height of summer when TV scheduling brings you Wimbledon highlights (9pm) preceded by the opening of the Proms season. This year’s diverse programme will include music from TV’s Horrible Histories and Stevie Wonder’s iconic album Innervisions, as well as a celebration of Bollywood legend Lata Mangeshkar. The First Night of the Proms, live from the Royal Albert Hall, keeps things a bit more traditional, with pieces including Sibelius’ Finlandia and Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra.

In Is It Cake Too?, a fresh batch of bakers who specialize in hyperrealistic bakes are tasked once again to make the most unlikely objects out of cake — this time around, think baseball gloves, weekender bags, toilets, and even the Mona Lisa herself — with the hopes of deceiving a slew of seasoned chefs and celebrity guests.
The new season sees 10 chefs hoping to take home their share of a $120,000 prize pot, so there's everything to bake for.
