The nation's screens are ablaze with entertainment tonight as 'Austin' returns to BBC One for its eagerly anticipated second series. Ben Miller reprises his role as the grumpy but lovable Julian, while Michael Theo is back as Austin, the charismatic neurodivergent who claims to be Julian's long-lost son. But this time around, a bombshell DNA test result throws everything into chaos – and sets our heroes on a quest to track down Austin's real dad. Joining Miller in the mayhem is Sally Phillips as Ingrid, Julian's wife and comedic foil extraordinaire.
Garden enthusiasts, meanwhile, will be green-thumbed and grinning like Cheshire cats when Monty Don and his team report live from the inaugural RHS Badminton flower show on BBC Two at 9pm. Against the picturesque backdrop of south Gloucestershire, our favourite horticultural heroes – Adam Frost, Rachel De Thame, and Ashley Edwards among them – will be delving into the floral marquee to uncover the secrets of summer's essential blooms.
Elsewhere, sports fans will be getting in touch with their inner community spirit when BBC One airs 'Our Lives: Ashington AFC – Saving Our Club' at 7pm. This heart-stopping documentary follows the plucky volunteers fighting to save their beloved Northumberland team from relegation and financial disaster – a poignant reminder of the grassroots football that's the lifeblood of our nation.
And finally, Channel 4 is serving up a slice of rural real-life drama with 'Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids', which airs at 8pm. As the Owen family prepares their Yorkshire farm for the autumn season – think premature calves and new sheep – we're treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the trials and tribulations of country life.
Last but not least, PBS America is shining a spotlight on unsung heroines with 'Women of World War II: More Untold Stories' at 8:15pm.
