So what's on tv tonight? Tuesday's tv guide has a strong new arrival to kick things off: Sky Atlantic launches Ligas at 9pm, a Milan-set legal drama that looks like it might actually be good. BBC One continues Babies at 9pm -- episode four, which by all accounts is the most difficult hour of the series so far. The tv listings are busy elsewhere too, with Britain's Biggest Warship beginning on BBC Two, Our Welsh Chapel Dream arriving on Channel 4, and the Champions League in full swing.

TV Guide: Early Evening (7pm – 8pm)
The One Show -- BBC One, 7pm
JB Gill and a rotating co-host cover the evening mix of features and interviews. Tonight's guest lineup hasn't been confirmed at time of writing. On iPlayer.
Great British Menu -- BBC Two, 7pm
Episode 19 of 29 -- the regional heats press on. If you've been dipping in and out, tonight is more of the same: intense chefs, demanding judges, some very ambitious plating. On iPlayer.
EastEnders -- BBC One, 7:30pm
Jasmine's trial finally gets underway tonight -- it's been building towards this for a while and the courtroom scenes should give the episode some real shape. On top of that, George makes a declaration that sounds like it could shift the ground considerably on Albert Square. On iPlayer.
TV Tonight: Prime Time (8pm onwards)
Ligas -- Sky Atlantic, 9pm (NEW SERIES, Episodes 1 & 2) ★
This is the one to clear the evening for. Ligas is a new Italian legal drama set in Milan, following defence attorney Lorenzo Ligas (Luca Argentero) -- a man whose personal life and professional judgment are so thoroughly intertwined they might as well be the same thing. In the opening episode alone, he sleeps with a prosecution witness. Not as strategy, just because he does that sort of thing. His first proper assignment is a genuinely hopeless brief: a washed-up rock star accused of murder, the kind of client a sensible lawyer would run from.
What makes it watchable is that Lorenzo is not trying to be charming. He's impulsive, self-undermining and clearly heading for a fall of his own at some point -- you're just not sure when. His idealistic intern Marta (Marina Occhionero) provides some counterweight, though she's not naive enough to be entirely blind to what she's working with. The Milan setting gives the whole thing a texture that British legal dramas often lack -- sharper clothes, messier personal lives, a moral atmosphere that's more European than Perry Mason.
Sky Atlantic leads with both episodes back to back from 9pm tonight, which is the right call. Via Now.
Sort Your Life Out with Stacey Solomon -- BBC One, 8pm (Episode 5 of 6)
This week holds the record for the most ambitious project the series has ever taken on. Brian and Sharon's three-bedroom semi in Twickenham required seven vans to empty before the team could even start. Seven. The crux of the problem is Brian's relationship with online shopping -- he has the sort of Inspector Gadget-style setup where packages arrive and he doesn't even open them. Stacey brings in her sister to help with the craft side of things, which is a sensible call given what they're dealing with. The transformation apparently reduces Brian and Sharon's daughter Holly, who is autistic, to very happy tears. On iPlayer.
Britain's Biggest Warship: Goes to Sea -- BBC Two, 8pm (NEW SERIES)
The first of three episodes following HMS Queen Elizabeth and her F35B fighters as they head out on active deployment. Access documentaries about military hardware can go two ways -- pure hardware porn with no human story, or something that earns its time by finding the people inside the machine. From the look of it, this leans toward the latter. If you liked the aircraft carrier documentaries of the last decade, this should scratch the same itch. On iPlayer.
Our Welsh Chapel Dream -- Channel 4, 8pm (NEW)
Ceramicist Keith Brymer Jones and his partner Marj Hogarth fell for a Grade II-listed chapel in Pwllheli, north Wales, that most people would have walked straight past. The place is dilapidated, the project is enormous, and to help fund it Marj is selling off her extensive vintage clothes collection -- which, depending on how you feel about vintage clothes, might be the more emotionally costly sacrifice. They're clearly community-minded people with big hearts and an unusual aesthetic. If their style isn't yours, that's fine -- the warmth of the show carries it regardless. On Channel 4 streaming.
Babies -- BBC One, 9pm (Episode 4 of 6)
The fourth episode is, by all accounts, the hardest one to watch -- which for a Stefan Golaszewski drama is saying something. Amanda is coming apart. The miscarriages have accumulated into something she can no longer manage by herself, and tonight she admits to feelings that go to very dark places. Lisa's suggestion that Dave should tell his husband what's been happening is a reasonable one. The subsequent conversation between Stephen and Dave is, apparently, not reasonable at all -- it gets properly nasty.
Writer Golaszewski apparently promised the Radio Times a happy ending. There is, at the halfway point, very little sign of it. If you've been watching from episode one, there's no question: you're seeing this through. Full series on iPlayer.
Pilgrimage: The Road to Holy Island -- BBC Two, 9pm (Series Finale)
The final leg, from Whitby to Lindisfarne. The group has been dealing with difficult weather, relentless hills, and accommodation that strips away any pretence at comfort. By the time they reach Holy Island, the journey has done something to each of them -- whether that's a renewed connection with faith, a better understanding of someone else's spirituality, or simply a clearer sense of who they actually are. Good finale to a series that earned its conclusions. On iPlayer.
I'm a Celebrity... South Africa -- ITV1, 9pm
The camp divides tonight, and two new celebrities enter the competition. If you've been keeping up, the dynamic shifts considerably when the established pecking order gets disrupted like this. On ITVX.
Grand Designs -- Channel 4, 9pm
Kevin McCloud surveys another extraordinary self-build. Kevin McCloud's facial expressions do most of the narration. You know the drill. On Channel 4 streaming.
China with Ben Fogle -- Channel 5, 9pm (Episode 2)
Ben Fogle's second episode takes him deeper into Sichuan. First stop is a cockroach farm that uses the insects to produce traditional Chinese medicine, shampoo and toothpaste -- which is either fascinating or deeply alarming depending on your tolerance for that sort of thing. Then, more unusually, Ben dons a panda costume to enter a government rewilding programme enclosure, because the cubs can't become too comfortable around humans in their natural form. Continues tomorrow. On My5.
TV Guide UK: Late Night
The Hunt: Prey vs Predator -- Channel 4, 10pm (FINALE)
The £100,000 prize is decided tonight in the finale of Channel 4's survival competition. The series has been good enough to earn a proper finale -- the finale format should mean the stakes are clear from the off. On Channel 4 streaming.
QI -- BBC Two, 10pm (Episode 7 of 16)
Sandi Toksvig's panel quiz continues. Series W, episode 7. On iPlayer.
André Is an Idiot: Storyville -- BBC Four, 10pm
André Ricciardi is a San Francisco advertising man with the energy of a stand-up comic and a story he can't stop telling. It starts with a dumb thing he did as a teenager and ends with a stage-four cancer diagnosis in his fifties -- a diagnosis he might have caught earlier if he'd had a colonoscopy, which he didn't. "I prepared for chemotherapy," he says, "by making sure I had hangovers for a good 35 years of my life." BBC Four's Storyville slot follows his treatment and slow decline over three years. It is, genuinely, the funniest documentary about dying you're likely to see -- and when the comedy finally does stop, it hits you harder than you're ready for. On iPlayer.
Brooklyn -- BBC One, 10:40pm
John Crowley's 2015 adaptation of Colm TóibÃn's novel. Saoirse Ronan plays Eilis, a young Irish woman who emigrates to Brooklyn in the 1950s and finds herself pulled in two different directions -- two countries, two men, two versions of her life. Quiet, well-made, and Saoirse Ronan is superb. On iPlayer.
Sport
Champions League Quarter-Finals -- Real Madrid v Bayern Munich: Prime Video, 8pm (also live on TNT Sports 1 from 7pm). Sporting CP v Arsenal: Prime Video, 8pm. Two huge quarter-final second legs tonight.
EFL League Two -- Bromley v Shrewsbury: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, 7:30pm.

What time is Babies episode 4 on BBC One?

What time does Ligas start on Sky Atlantic?
Ligas begins at 9pm on Sky Atlantic with a double bill -- episodes 1 and 2. It's a new Milan-set Italian legal drama starring Luca Argentero as defence attorney Lorenzo Ligas. A second episode follows at 10pm. Via Now if you miss it.

It's a new documentary on Channel 4 at 8pm following ceramicist Keith Brymer Jones and his partner Marj Hogarth as they attempt to restore a Grade II-listed chapel in Pwllheli, north Wales.

TV Guide UK: Final Verdict
Tuesday's tv guide is dominated by two things: the arrival of Ligas on Sky Atlantic at 9pm, which is the most interesting new drama of the week, and the ongoing weight of Babies on BBC One at 9pm, which by episode four is not letting anyone off easily.
If you're new to Ligas, the double bill format tonight is ideal -- two episodes back to back gives you enough to know whether it's going to be your thing, and from the early signs it should be. The Milan setting, the moral ambiguity, and Luca Argentero playing Lorenzo as someone you wouldn't trust with your wallet, let alone your defence — it's not what you're used to from legal dramas on this side of the channel.
Late on, don't underestimate BBC Four's André Is an Idiot at 10pm -- Storyville at its most unusual and most memorable. The Champions League also delivers two proper quarter-final occasions on Prime Video from 8pm, with Arsenal in Lisbon and Real Madrid hosting Bayern in an evening of European football that will keep half the country occupied regardless of what else is on.
