What's on TV tonight? Sunday 10th May 2026 is built around the most meta event in the television calendar — an industry ceremony deciding which dramas earned their place in the culture, followed immediately by a new drama about exactly the case the industry spent years refusing to tell properly. The BAFTA Television Awards open BBC One at 7pm with Adolescence as the overwhelming favourite. An hour after the ceremony ends, ITV1 premieres Believe Me. The symmetry is not accidental and the scheduling team deserve credit for it. Check the full Freeview TV guide for live channel updates, or see what's on right now.

TV Guide: Afternoon and Early Evening
Countryfile -- BBC One, 6pm
Charlotte Smith and Adam Henson visit Oswestry Livestock Market in Shropshire -- one of the larger weekly cattle and sheep markets in the region, and the sort of practical, working agriculture that Countryfile has always done well when it gets away from the scenic and into the functional. A grounding Sunday-evening half-hour before the main events arrive. Available on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Murdoch Mysteries -- U&Alibi, 7pm
Series 19, episode 18: "Another Brick in the Wall." A skeleton turns up bricked inside a wall in an old house, and Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) has to work out who put it there and how long ago they thought they had got away with it. Running alongside the case: a press manipulation storyline in which salacious rumours about Murdoch and Effie (Clare McConnell) spread via a newspaper photograph. A scrap of paper reading "butterscotch" figures in the evidence. Available on NOW.
The Chase Celebrity Special -- ITV1, 7pm
Bradley Walsh hosts as Adam Jones, Monica Dolan, Dom Wood, and Dick McCourt take on a Chaser. Pre-BAFTA filler that does exactly what it is supposed to — reliable, pressure-free viewing before the main evening gets going. Available on ITVX.
"Antiques Roadshow: VE Day Special" -- BBC Two, 7pm
A repeat from 2025, timed to mark the eightieth anniversary of VE Day. Fiona Bruce presents as experts travel to Berlin and Bletchley Park with veterans and artefacts from the liberation of Europe. Better than the standard Antiques Roadshow episode because the material is genuinely extraordinary — Bletchley Park alone gives the experts objects that earn their screen time without any help from the valuation reveal. Not on BBC Two Wales tonight; Welsh viewers have their own schedule from 6.15pm. Available on BBC iPlayer. See the BBC Two schedule for tonight's full lineup.
EastEnders Sunday Omnibus -- BBC Three, 7pm to 9pm
Four episodes from the week, including the election day storyline: Ian and Elaine awaiting results, Nicola supporting George, Max's jealousy mounting. EastEnders does not air on BBC One on Sundays -- there is no single Sunday episode on the main channel. This four-episode omnibus on BBC Three is the weekly Sunday broadcast, running until approximately 9pm. All episodes are also on BBC iPlayer.
"UK Crime Files: Justice For My Brother" -- True Crime, 7pm
Geoffrey Wansell examines the case of Stuart Diamond, who murdered a homeless teenager in Blackpool in 1997 and fled to Ireland. The first in a block of True Crime programming running from 7pm to midnight on the channel tonight.
TV Guide: The Night's Defining Event -- BAFTA Television Awards 2026 -- BBC One, 7pm ⭐
Greg Davies hosting the BAFTA Television Awards is a sensible piece of casting. He is a man who has made television that people remember -- Taskmaster, The Inbetweeners, his own stand-up -- and who can be trusted not to fill the silences at the Royal Festival Hall with the desperate over-eagerness awards shows sometimes mistake for enthusiasm. Two hours, 7pm to 9pm, live on BBC One.
The story of the night is Adolescence. Netflix's drama -- four episodes, no edits, each episode a single continuous take -- arrived in March 2025, accumulated viewers at a rate that Netflix measures in the tens of millions, triggered a parliamentary debate about online radicalisation, and then went to the Emmys in September where it collected five awards. It arrives at the BAFTAs seven months later as the show the year had a conversation about, and the question is whether the Television Academy agrees or finds room for an upset.
Owen Cooper, who plays the thirteen-year-old at the centre of Adolescence, is shortlisted for supporting actor. Erin Doherty and Stephen Graham are on the main performer shortlists. A Thousand Blows -- Sky Atlantic's boxing drama -- is nominated for best drama and may be the strongest contender for an upset if the Adolescence vote spreads too thin across categories.
The viewer vote for most memorable TV moment places Celebrity Traitors' winner reveal against Blue Lights and Adolescence. Celebrity Traitors -- the one with the A-list cast and the final tribal council that produced genuinely unpredictable television -- made enough noise when it aired to be a realistic challenger. But Adolescence carries the weight of what it started outside television, and that is a different category of cultural impact than even the best reality TV finale.
BBC iPlayer carries the ceremony from broadcast. Worth watching live for the results.
TV Guide: Prime Time (8pm onwards)
"The Elon Musk Show" -- BBC Two, 8pm (NEW SERIES) ⭐
Episode 1 of 3. The BBC's three-part documentary on Elon Musk begins in 1990s Silicon Valley with the origin story that has become so well-known it risks feeling settled. The first episode covers the building and sale of Zip2, the early PayPal years, and the falling-in-love element that the research notes but the documentary will handle on its own terms. The interest is in what the BBC makes of the material -- whether episode 1 treats Musk as a straightforward genius narrative or finds the complications in the record. Given BBC Two's recent track record on three-part documentary portraits, the latter seems more likely. Episode 2 follows next Sunday. See the BBC Two schedule for tonight.
"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" -- ITV1, 8pm
Six contestants, fifteen questions, four lifelines, a million pounds in the chair. Jeremy Clarkson hosts. The arithmetic is unchanged, and the format has lasted long enough that the tension is still genuine even when you know exactly how it works. A reliable hour of pre-Believe Me ITV1 television. Available on ITVX.
Cruising to the Ends of the Earth -- Channel 4, 8pm
Episode 3. The Royal Princess is off Alaska, where a family visits Auke Bay with orca pods visible from the ship's deck -- the most arresting wildlife sequence the series has produced so far. Meanwhile, the Sun Princess reaches Corfu on a warm evening, and new crew member Millie finds herself in an olive grove with her boss, which is either a professional development moment or a more complicated situation depending on how it lands. The most genuinely fascinating element, though, is Diane -- Japan's only foreign female professional Rakugo performer, who is travelling as a passenger and whose backstory alone justifies the episode's running time. Available on Channel 4 streaming. Full Channel 4 schedule for tonight.
Hudson and Rex -- U&Alibi, 8pm (NEW SERIES)
Series 8, episode 1: "Into the Wilds." John Reardon is not coming back; the producers described the decision as taking the show in a different direction, and Luke Roberts arrives as Mark Hudson -- same dog, different detective. The first episode puts Hudson and Rex on a witness-protection problem: track down a key witness against a crime boss before a professional assassin reaches him first. The pull-ups scene with Rex in a harness, per the research, is either a character-establishing moment or a sign that someone in production thought audiences needed immediate evidence of the new lead's fitness. Available on U.
Harry Wild -- U&Drama, 8pm (SERIES FINALE) ⭐
"The Final Chapter." Series 4, episode 6. The murder of a heckler during a guided literary tour pulls Harry and Fergus into a plot that draws on Bram Stoker's Dracula -- a corpse with puncture marks that suggest vampire methodology, and a prime suspect who has committed to a Siouxsie Sioux aesthetic in a way that makes her both conspicuous and entertaining to watch onscreen. The season-long arc resolves tonight: ex-partner Marcello returns, and armed gangsters materialise around him. The show has maintained a very specific tone across four series -- comic, grisly, Irish, slightly deranged -- and "The Final Chapter" closes it on exactly those terms. Worth catching on U if you have followed it; worth catching anyway for the Dracula thread if you have not.
The Cage -- BBC One, 9pm ⭐
Episode 3 of 5. The casino is squeezing. Gary has been bonding with Leanne in a way that now has a purpose beyond social warmth: he is applying pressure for her to betray Matty. Matty, meanwhile, is not helping himself -- Ning's demands are piling up while Matty's capacity to manage them is visibly declining. Tony Schumacher has built the series on the gap between how smart these characters think they are and what they are actually doing, and episode 3 is where that gap widens into something that cannot easily be closed.
Sheridan Smith is carrying Leanne through a sequence of decisions that would test a more calculated character. Leanne is not calculating; she is reactive and occasionally tender, which makes Gary's pressure more dangerous rather than less. Michael Socha as Matty is doing the thing Schumacher's peripheral-becomes-central writing specialises in -- the character who thinks they are in control of a situation that has already moved past them. The full series is on BBC iPlayer. See the BBC One schedule tonight.
Believe Me -- ITV1, 9pm (NEW SERIES) ⭐
Episode 1 of 4. The BAFTA ceremony ends. ITV1 starts this. The scheduling is pointed and the drama earns the context.
John Worboys became known as the "black cab rapist" after it emerged that he had attacked over 100 women in London, typically drugging them with a spiked drink before assaulting them in his taxi. He was convicted in 2009. The question that preceded the conviction -- and that persisted afterward -- was why the Metropolitan Police had not acted sooner, given the volume of complaints made against him.
Jeff Pope is the right writer for this. He made Philomena without sentiment, The Moorside without exploitation, Mrs Biggs without excusing its subject. Believe Me's first episode follows Sarah Adams (Aimee-Ffion Edwards), whose case is dropped by the police despite her certainty about what happened. Daniel Mays plays Worboys with the particular menace of someone who appears unremarkable. Laila (Aasiya Shah) and Carrie (Miriam Petche) are also in the cast; their episodes come later in the four-part run.
Episode 1 is focused entirely on the failure of the system -- not on Worboys as a character study but on what happens when an institution decides a complainant is not credible. That is the harder and more important story, and Pope knows it. Episode 2 airs Monday 11 May on ITV1. The full series is available on ITVX. Full ITV1 schedule for tonight.
Your Song -- Channel 4, 9pm
Episode 5, and the focus shifts from finding vocalists to preparing them. Paloma Faith and Sam Ryder take the four heat winners -- Milo, Chantel, Mina, and Findlay -- to the Hackney Empire to work on stage presence, confidence, and the gap between singing well in a heat and performing for a full house. Teen Milo needs to own the stage rather than apologise for being on it. Kidney transplant recipient Chantel has the voice but is fighting the self-doubt that comes with knowing what the body can do when things go wrong. Mina, whose mother died a year earlier and whose grief is woven into her performing, is being asked to channel something she has not fully processed. Findlay features.
The mentors also have a decision to make: add a fifth vocalist to the Hackney Empire line-up, or keep the four they have. This is episode 5, not the finale -- the grand finale concert follows next week, which makes tonight the preparation episode rather than the payoff. Available on Channel 4 streaming.
Trading Places -- Channel 5, 9pm (NEW SERIES)
Episode 1 of 4. Three young people who describe their lives primarily through shopping -- Bridie, Umar, and Saffron -- swap their routines for a 1960s-inspired off-grid commune in Cornwall. Umar has the self-awareness to describe himself as "selfish, materialistic and superficial" before he has left London, which suggests either genuine self-knowledge or a man who has been on enough reality television to know what the edit needs. Saffron contributes "I hate the wilderness" early in the episode, which is not the ideal preparation for communal composting. Bridie is described as the most reasonable of the three, which in these circumstances is faint praise.
The show has potential if it goes somewhere more complicated than fish-out-of-water laughs. Episode 1 is a 90-minute opening, which gives it room to do that. Available on My5.
Scandinavia with Simon Reeve -- BBC Two, 9pm (NEW SERIES)
Episode 1 of 3. Reeve opens in Svalbard -- the Norwegian archipelago in the high Arctic where the sun does not set for four months of the year and the polar bear population outnumbers the human one. From there, south through Lapland and across to the longest stretch of NATO's border with Russia, which runs through Finland and which since 2022 has been a frontier with a different weight to it than before. Reeve is good at this: the combination of landscape that photographs beautifully and geopolitical context that matters, delivered without the self-congratulatory note that travel journalism sometimes cannot help. Three episodes, Sundays. Available on BBC iPlayer. See the BBC Two schedule for tonight.
Prisoner S1 Ep2 -- Sky Atlantic, 9pm
Episode 2 of the Sky Original thriller. Amber (Izuka Hoyle) forms an uneasy alliance with the dangerous man she handcuffed herself to last week as they are pulled deeper into a criminal underworld that neither of them entered voluntarily. Otto Bathurst directing, Matt Charman writing, the handcuffed-together premise doing what it promised. If you missed episode 1 (aired last Sunday), the full series is on Sky and NOW. Euphoria Series 3 episode 4 follows at 10pm on Sky Atlantic.
Alan Carr: Regional Trinket -- Sky One, 9pm
New stand-up special. Alan Carr touring with material that takes in his star-studded wedding, lockdown on a farm, and the search for happiness in modest things. Carr has always been better in performance than his television presenting work sometimes suggested -- his stand-up timing is sharper than the chat-show version of him, and the wedding material has been previewed on tour to good response. Seventy-five minutes on Sky One.
The Late Film: The Iron Claw -- BBC Two, 10pm ⭐
Sean Durkin's 2023 film about the Von Erich brothers -- Fritz, Kevin, David, Kerry, and Mike -- who built and largely destroyed themselves in the world of professional wrestling in Texas in the 1980s. Durkin wrote and directed. The cast: Zac Efron as Kevin, Jeremy Allen White as Kerry, Harris Dickinson as David, Stanley Simons as Mike. Chavo Guerrero Jr appears as the coach who trained them, and there is an anecdote in the research about a wrestling mat made of plywood with rebar -- the sort of material detail that tells you what the industry asked of the people who worked in it.
Efron has been photographed for years in ways that emphasised his physical transformation for the role. That was the marketing. The film is something else: a story about a father who defined his sons' purpose before they were old enough to question it, and what happens to four men who have been trained since childhood to believe that winning is the only acceptable outcome. The wrestling is filmed with real physical intensity. The accumulating losses -- and there are many -- are handled without telegraphing them.
Jeremy Allen White is the performance that catches people off guard. Harris Dickinson, who has built a run of precise supporting performances across the last three years, is again doing the thing where you notice his work more on a second watch. At 125 minutes before credits, this is a proper late-night film rather than a background proposition. BBC iPlayer has it from broadcast. Northern Ireland viewers: BBC Two NI starts this at 11:25pm due to regional programming beforehand (Inside Britain's National Parks, then Sunday Politics).
TV Guide UK: Late Night
Match of the Day -- BBC One, 10.30pm

Gogglebox -- Channel 4, 10.05pm

Nottingham Forest v Newcastle United -- Sky Sports Main Event, 2pm (k/o approx. 2.05pm)
The Super Sunday opener. Forest host Newcastle at the City Ground; Premier League points at both ends of the table are in play depending on where each club sits as the season closes. Coverage from 2pm on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League; also live on Sky Sports F1 from 1pm.

For new drama, Believe Me on ITV1 at 9pm is essential if you care about fact-based crime television done with seriousness. The Cage on BBC One at 9pm is the best continuing drama of the night. The Iron Claw on BBC Two at 10pm is the strongest late-night film option on any channel tonight.
TV Guide UK: Final Verdict
Sunday 10 May asks you to choose between watching the television industry congratulate itself and watching a new drama about what happens when that industry -- and the institutions around it -- gets things badly wrong. That is not a complaint about the scheduling. It is what makes the evening coherent.
The BAFTA ceremony at 7pm will produce its results and its speeches and its moments. Whether Adolescence sweeps, and whether that feels like justice or inevitability, will determine the conversation tomorrow. At 9pm, ITV1 starts the conversation about something else -- a case from 2009 that the police had the evidence to act on years before they did, and a drama that has chosen to tell it from the perspective of the women who were dismissed.
The Iron Claw at 10pm on BBC Two is the film that rewards staying up for it: two hours and five minutes of a story about what it costs to be raised for a purpose that was not your own. That is a Sunday well spent.
