Is EastEnders on tonight?
Yes. EastEnders is on BBC One at 7.30pm tonight. Ravi's torn between competing loyalties, Max steps in to help Linda, and Howie sets about trying to make a positive difference. A solid midweek instalment that keeps the current storylines ticking along.
TV Guide: Early Evening (7pm -- 8pm)
EastEnders -- BBC One, 7.30pm
Standard Walford fare tonight. Ravi's loyalties are being pulled in different directions, which usually means he's about to do something he'll regret. Max is being uncharacteristically useful by taking action on Linda's behalf, and Howie's on a mission to prove himself. It's the kind of episode that sets up bigger things later in the week.
Great British Menu -- BBC Two, 7pm
The Scottish chefs get their turn tonight, competing with canapes, starters and fish courses all tied to the British film industry theme. Veteran judge Adam Handling -- the 2023 Champion of Champions -- is back on the panel, and Andi Oliver keeps things moving as ever. Four episodes in and this series has found its stride.
The Martin Lewis Money Show Live -- ITV1, 7.15pm
Martin's tackling the topics most of us would rather avoid -- wills, lasting power of attorney, all the stuff you know you should sort out but keep putting off. He's got a panel of specialists on hand to field viewer questions live. Not the most glamorous hour of television, but potentially the most useful thing on the schedule tonight.
TV Tonight: Prime Time (8pm onwards)
MasterChef: The Professionals -- BBC One, 8pm
Episode 10, and 2018 finalist Matthew Ryle is setting the skills tests this week. It's classic French cookery territory -- red mullet and roasted poussin -- and the kind of precision work that separates the quietly confident from the quietly panicking. Marcus Wareing and Monica Galetti are watching every move.
Nando's vs KFC: Battle of the Brands -- Channel 4, 8pm
Here's a fun one. Britain apparently spends more on chicken than burgers or pizza, and this new documentary digs into how Nando's and KFC each built billion-pound empires from the same bird. Kate Quilton explores the flavour, the fandom and the fierce commercial rivalry. Given that most of us have a firm allegiance to one or the other, this should provoke plenty of sofa arguments.
Europe on the Edge with Katya Adler -- BBC Two, 9pm ⭐
This is the one tonight. Katya Adler's new three-part series takes her across a continent that's changing faster than its politicians can keep up with. In this opening episode, she visits Germany -- where thousands of bridges need repair, mobile coverage is patchy and decades of prioritising manufacturing exports have left basic infrastructure neglected -- and Italy, where she attends the Palio horse race in Siena, a spectacle that reveals just how deeply Italians hold on to local tradition. Adler has always been one of the BBC's sharpest foreign correspondents, and this format gives her room to go deeper than a news bulletin ever allows. If you miss the old-school approach of Alan Whicker or Clive James -- turning up somewhere, talking to people, and telling you what they actually found -- this is very much in that tradition.
Silent Witness -- BBC One, 9pm
The series finale. Episode 10 of 10, and the case takes a genuinely unexpected turn when a second victim's death brings the team closer to the truth. More pressingly, Nikki finds herself directly in danger. Emilia Fox has been the emotional anchor of this entire series, and when Silent Witness puts her character at risk, it usually means they've been building to something. This should be a tense hour.
The Summit -- ITV1, 9pm
The mountain adventure continues, and trust is starting to fray. Someone's nicked the chocolate, which sounds trivial until you're halfway up a New Zealand peak with a cash prize in your rucksack. A terrifying crossing over a deep chasm forces the group to confront some serious fears, and the tactical voting is getting more ruthless by the week. Ben Shephard keeps things grounded.
Stonehenge: Secrets of the New Stone -- Channel 5, 9pm
Jason Watkins and historian Tracy Borman investigate the altar stone at Stonehenge -- a six-tonne slab that's largely buried beneath two collapsed sarsen stones and has puzzled archaeologists for centuries. Their journey takes them to south Wales, Aberdeenshire and Orkney, drawing connections between ancient sites that are genuinely surprising. If you've got even a passing interest in prehistory, this is well worth your time.
TV Guide UK: Late Night
The BRIT Awards 2026 -- ITV1, 10.45pm
The biggest night in British music headed to Manchester for the first time on 28 February, and ITV1 shows the full ceremony again tonight. Jack Whitehall hosts, with performances from Harry Styles, Rosalia, Wolf Alice, Alex Warren and Olivia Dean. Whether you watch for the music, the speeches or the backstage chaos, the BRITs remain the one music awards show that actually delivers surprises. Expect this to run well past midnight.
Ben Youngs Investigates: How Safe Is Rugby -- BBC One, 10.40pm
England's most-capped men's player turns the lens on the sport that defined his career. Ben Youngs examines the growing evidence around concussion and long-term brain health, asking difficult questions about a game he loves. It's the kind of documentary that feels increasingly necessary, and Youngs has the credibility to ask things an outsider couldn't.
Red Light to Limelight -- BBC Four, 10.20pm
A remarkable Storyville documentary. In Kolkata's Kalighat red-light district, a group of sex workers have come together to make a short film about their lives. The collective's founder, Rabin Bag, directs a fictional story called Napur about a young woman forced into prostitution. It's raw, it's important, and it gives a platform to voices that are almost never heard.
