It\u2019s a no-brainer for couple Kate and Sean in this Oz version of the hit British sitcom. But as fans of the original show already know, their home is riddled with ghosts, which only Kate can see after a near-death experience. A new batch of ghost characters add a fresh spin on a firm comedy favourite. <em>Hollie Richardson<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"alan-carrs-picture-slam\" class=\"dcr-7d9sx6\"><strong>Alan Carr\u2019s Picture Slam<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>6.40pm, BBC One<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The new series of the picture quiz where contestants have to identify a range of snaps continues.

After losing a comrade, the remaining three Sentinels are ready to blow off some steam. Meanwhile, Ir\u00e8ne\u2019s investigations into dodgy military dealings point her toward the fleshpots of northern Paris. <em>Graeme Virtue<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-staircase\" class=\"dcr-7d9sx6\"><strong>The Staircase<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>9.15pm, ITV1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Colin Firth and Toni Collette\u2019s true-crime drama first aired on Sky back in 2022. Michael Peterson called 911 to report finding his wife Kathleen\u2019s body at the bottom of their stairs at home. But he immediately became a suspect, and the first episode shows flashbacks to what their relationship was really like.<em> HR<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"schitts-creek\" class=\"dcr-7d9sx6\"><strong>Schitt\u2019s Creek<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>11.45pm, BBC Three<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">A triple bill of the much-loved Canadian sitcom that gave the late, great Catherine O\u2019Hara a second wind. First up, Moira (O\u2019Hara) and Johnny (Eugene Levy) go bargain hunting at an estate sale, while Alexis (Annie Murphy) tries to hide the fact that she can\u2019t ride a bike. <em>Hannah J Davies<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"film-choice\" class=\"dcr-7d9sx6\"><strong>Film choice<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>Lurker, 6.15pm, Sky Cinema Premiere<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">At first sight, Alex Russell\u2019s intense drama is about a pop singer stalked by an obsessive fan. Th\u00e9odore Pellerin\u2019s LA clothes shop worker Matthew talks himself into the entourage of the apparently easy-going Oliver (Archie Madekwe), a British musician on the up. As he sidles from obsequious gofer to would-be documentary profiler, Matthew\u2019s neediness is embarrassing going on excruciating \u2013 but it also flatters Oliver. And as their relationship develops over weeks, the power balance between them shifts drastically. <em>Simon Wardell<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>Monster, 10.25pm, BBC Four<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"27a12eba-158d-4a92-8f5b-a6785dc85bb0\" data-spacefinder-role=\"showcase\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-46nkfa\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-1ci1e33\"><span class=\"dcr-vyhg7z\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1cipnsy\">Heartbreaking \u2026 Monster on BBC Four.<\/span> Photograph: Everett Collection Inc\/Alamy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Japanese film-maker Hirokazu Kore-eda has long been a brilliant illuminator of children\u2019s fractured, often inarticulated lives. This 2023 Cannes winner is another compelling look into their inner worlds, framed as an episodic mystery. First, we see events from the point of view of Sakura Ando\u2019s single mother Saori, who thinks her son Minato (S\u014dya Kurokawa) is being bullied by his teacher, Mr Hori (Eita Nagayama). But then we get Hori\u2019s side of the story and, crucially, Minato\u2019s; what emerges is a heartbreaking tale of friendship and difference. <em>SW<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"live-sport\" class=\"dcr-7d9sx6\"><strong>Live sport<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>Commonwealth Games, 8.30am, TNT Sports 2 <\/strong>Day two includes netball, boxing, artistic gymnastics and bowls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>Men\u2019s Tour de France , 10am, TNT Sports 1 <\/strong>The penultimate stage, from Le Bourg-d\u2019Oisans to Alpe d\u2019Huez<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>World Matchplay Darts, 9pm, Sky Sports Main Event <\/strong>The semi-finals in Blackpool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghosts Australia 10.30pm, BBC Three Buy a mouldy flat with a toilet in the kitchen or move into the rundown mansion of a dead great-uncle?
