TV tonight: cracking scouse coming-of-age comedy G’wed is back | Television




G’wed

10.05pm, ITV2

This scouse coming-of-age comedy drama was an unsung gem when it aired last year, so hurrah for a cracking second series. The school students of Wirral continue to navigate teenage life, with first loves, struggling parents, battenberg cakes and karaoke nights providing plenty of raucous gags. But there are bigger themes at play, too, as a thoughtful anorexia storyline is explored through 14-year-old Albie, who is mentored by Ted, an older student, in this strong opening episode.

Can Elon Musk Rule the World?

9pm, Channel 4

Are we doomed to be dominated by tech‑bro billionaires? It’s a terrifying, but increasingly plausible, thought, as the bromance between Donald Trump and his “first buddy” Elon Musk proves. Why is Musk taking on the British government? Has he been sitting in on calls between Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy? Channel 4 News’s Matt Frei asks what Musk has planned for the US and beyond. Hollie Richardson

The Dog House

8pm, Channel 4

It’s not always love at first sight when it comes to doggy-owner matchmaking: a traumatised cockapoo needs a good haircut and snuggles before getting out there, while Coco the dachshund is a nervous wreck before a first date with a potential new owner. HR

This thriller is inspired by Ireland’s “Vanishing Triangle” – eight women who disappeared without a trace from the east of the country during the 80s and 90s. While a journalist, Lisa (India Mullen from Normal People), and a detective, David (Allen Leech from Downton Abbey) work together to find one woman, others go missing. HR

An Update on Our Family

9pm, Sky Documentaries

The sobering documentary series about US vlogging family the Stauffers reaches its middle episode, and the central, tragic event: the household’s adopted son Huxley stops appearing in their extremely popular videos. A dark tale unfolds. Jack Seale

Far North

10pm, U&Alibi

This tonally peculiar New Zealand crime drama continues to veer uneasily between comedy and darkness as the denouement approaches. Ed and Heather do their best to derail the meth deal. But with the ship’s crew essentially at death’s door, might it derail itself without anyone else’s help? Phil Harrison
