Best TV shows on TV tonight
Britain's Got Talent 2023, 8 pm, ITV1
This series of Britain’s Got Talent has already given us the weird, the wonderful, the terrifying and the truly marvellous. Tonight is the last audition show, ahead of the live semi-finals, which start on Monday and air all week (8pm, ITV1). Have producers saved the best acts till last? Guaranteed a spot in the live shows are the Golden Buzzer acts, and we’ve already seen judges Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell throw out the rule book by hitting the Golden Buzzer more than once - surely there can’t be any more surprises – can there? But as we’ve learned after 16 series of BGT, anything can happen. And probably will.
★★★★ VW
Annika, 9.10 pm, BBC One/iPlayer (box set)
Prince Harry: Secrets of his Hollywood Life, 9.05 pm, Channel 5
In the three years since Harry and Meghan first moved to California, the Prince has made friends with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, enjoyed dining at the famous Lucky’s Steakhouse and even joined a polo club. Friends say he’s never been healthier or happier. But this documentary reveals Harry can’t shake his sense of royal duty and feels a deep draw to home. With his relationship with the Royal Family at rock bottom, thanks to his bombshell autobiography Spare, will he ever be able to return – or will he always be living in effective exile in America?
★★★ HD
Casualty, 8.20 pm, BBC One
Jacob’s maverick antics get him in deep trouble with Iain, forcing the senior paramedic to remove his pal from duty after a patient comes to serious harm. With time on his hands and Iain’s words ringing in his ears, Jacob (Charles Venn) hits the bottle in a big way – we’re talking large whiskeys, neat, in an anonymous bar. Let’s hope he gets a chippy tea on the way home (soakage!). Elsewhere, a snake is on the loose in the ED and living its best life; Faith, not so much – she’s in cold-turkey hell when she’s bitten by the venomous visitor.
★★★★ ER
Best film on TV tonight
To Catch a Killer, 8 pm, Sky Premiere/NOW
This Baltimore-set police procedural stars Rogue One’s Ben Mendelsohn as a grizzled FBI agent trying to catch a sniper who has carried out a mass shooting during the city’s New Year’s Eve celebrations. He recruits an intuitive beat cop (Big Little Lies’ Shailene Woodley), and their relationship has echoes of Jodie Foster’s Clarice Starling and her mentor in horror classic The Silence of the Lambs. The decent action scenes and engaging investigation aren’t helped by some clunky dialogue and pop psychology, but this is an entertaining enough thriller.
★★★ IM
Best box set on TV tonight
Missing: Dead or Alive, Netflix
Missing: Dead or Alive is the latest true crime offering from the streaming giant. Instead of focusing on classic whodunit cases or profiling a murderer, Missing: Dead or Alive follows a Missing Person team as they investigate sudden disappearances.
Shot as a fly-on-the-wall documentary, the gripping four-parter follows officers from a South Carolina sheriff’s department as they urgently search for individuals who’ve disappeared under troubling circumstances.
