TV tonight: how three rockstar chefs sparked a foodie revolution

9pm, BBC Two
“Gastronomy is the French Foreign Legion,” says Marco Pierre White. “They don’t question you too much.” In the 1980s, the culinary desert of the UK saw the rise of three difficult, brilliant chefs (Pierre White was joined by Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal) who triggered a foodie revolution. This three-parter doesn’t quite avoid presentational, era-specific cliches, but it does capture the energy generated by the trio’s rise. Phil Harrison

Aldi: The Next Big Seller

8pm, Channel 4
This new series offers a glimpse into the inner workings of a supermarket – and if that kind of thing is your bag of pick’n’mix, it’s fascinating.

Dear Henry: Our Fight for Justice – A Tonight Special

9pm, ITV1
The awful 2025 murder of Henry Nowak became a political football after being exploited by the far right.

Big Brother: Live Final

9pm, ITV2
Another series of the all-seeing reality series comes to an end, having been dogged with numerous complaints about the contestant Omar’s problematic behaviour (Women’s Aid said Big Brother risked “presenting abuse as a form of entertainment”). For anyone still watching (or hatewatching, perhaps?), a reunion episode also airs on Friday night. HJD

It Gets Worse

10pm, Channel 4
The double-bill season finale of this brilliantly insufferable sitcom begins with the cosmically self-involved Ethan’s insistence on wearing a tank top to the funeral. OK, but it is black, guys? That’s the tipping point, before Abi, Sam and Ethan end up having the mother of all barnies, just before entering the church. PE
