Best TV shows on TV tonight
Rob & Romesh vs Team GB, 9pm, Sky One/NOW
If you enjoy events such as Wimbledon, the Euros and the Olympics but are left feeling, well, a bit like the proverbial couch potato in comparison, take heart from the sight of Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan in their rather snug-fitting sporting gear. After trying out Olympic sports of weightlifting and hockey last week, in tonight's episode they're giving gymnastics, athletics and clay pigeon shooting a go.

Diana's Decades, 9pm, ITV
This episode opens with footage of the charity auction of Princess Diana's dresses in June 1997, which is a convenient way to have a quick montage of her 'greatest hits' up to then. 'Her clothes were symbolic of the life she'd led,' says designer Bruce Oldfield, 'and they were being left behind.' But as we know, Diana's new life was cut short only two months later. This final part of the series looks at her impact in the 1990s, and that optimistic decade's backdrop of hope and rejuvenation, which had begun with the fall of the Berlin Wall.
