The British Soap Awards 2025
8pm, ITV1
It is a hard time for the soaps right now, so it was nice to see them get some love at the annual awards show at the weekend (after all, that live EastEnders episode was undeniably a great feat). Did the Dingles beat the Slaters to pick up the best family award? Did Mercedes McQueen’s powerful acceptance of her bowel cancer win scene of the year? And which storyline was the best: Belle’s domestic violence in Emmerdale or Paul dealing with motor neurone disease in Corrie? Jane McDonald is on hosting duties as we find out. Hollie Richardson
Britain Under the Nazis: The Forgotten Occupation
8pm, Channel 4
Events take an even darker turn in the conclusion of a two-parter about the Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands. As residents are moved to prison camps and the islands become fortresses, acts of resistance continue, despite the new level of courage required – but at the war’s end, liberation and justice do not arrive as swiftly as they should. Jack Seale
Ambulance
9pm, BBC One
Of all the challenges on the frontline of the ambulance service, one of the less obvious is abusive phone calls. This week disturbingly shows 999’s inability to prevent a sexually abusive caller repeatedly dialling from a withheld number – and the impact on staff. Alexi Duggins
Marie Antoinette
9pm, BBC Two
Arrests are made after the theft of the cursed diamond necklace – with a member of a high-profile family thrown in the Bastille. This does nothing to help Louis and Marie’s suffering reputations at Versailles … and that is before Louis’ tax plans are leaked to a horrified aristocracy. Hold on to your wigs! HR
Taskmaster
9pm, Channel 4
We have reached the midpoint of what is seemingly the billionth series of the beloved comedy gameshow. Alex Horne is poked by a snooker cue, chased by Stevie Martin in a beard and subject to all the sort of abuse that regular viewers will know and love. Alexi Duggins
Poker Face
9pm, Sky Max
More of the murder-of-the-week comedy created by Rian “Knives Out” Johnson and starring Natasha Lyonne, which leans further into Columbo/Jessica Fletcher tribute act territory each week. Sam Richardson (Veep) and Corey Hawkins (The Walking Dead) guest star in an episode that also pays homage to the movies. Hannah J Davies
