Pick of the day: The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon
9pm, Sky Max
Anyone else not know that the zombie virus that has fired this whole post-apocalyptic franchise originated in France? Apparently it did, and in the latest spin-off series, Norman Reedus reprises his role as Daryl, the redneck survivalist, who somehow washes up on a devastated French Riviera. And it’s not long before he’s embroiled in his first brawl with zombies, although he’s had a lot of experience in fending off these ravenous brutes in the past. The new series, with echoes of The Last Of Us, follows Daryl’s progress across a broken France, with Clémence Poésy (In Bruges, The Tunnel) playing a headstrong nun who offers to take him in.
Olympics: Paris 2024
From 8am, BBC One
American great Simone Biles is the day’s headline act in the women’s individual all-around final, as she seeks to make a triumphant return to Olympic artistic gymnastics. Helen Glover is also tipped to claim her third Games rowing gold as part of the women’s four, while the men’s quartet are the reigning world and European champions and another of Team GB’s podium hopefuls.
The High Street Shops We Loved and Lost
8pm, Channel 5
The second half of this nostalgic look back at an era when booking a holiday meant a trip to the high street to visit Lunn Poly or
Thomas Cook. Anne Hegerty and Lesley Joseph bemoan the loss of Debenhams, while writer Robert Elms spills the beans on his time as a less-than-helpful shop assistant.

Interview with the Vampire
9pm, BBC Two
Return of the stylish Gothic horror based on Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles, series two takes Louis and Claudia (Jacob Anderson and Delainey Hayles) and their search for fellow vampires to Romania at the end of the Second World War (“some would say, a poorly timed European holiday,” says Louis’s modern-day chronicler, Daniel Molloy). And then, the pair go to Paris after hearing of its liberation from the Nazis.
George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces
9pm, Channel 4
In one of the most eccentric builds followed in this series, a man attempts to build a miniature canal and lock to house a narrowboat – and then turns the boat itself into something quite different. Clarke also visits an all-black, one-bedroom hotel housed in an old industrial crane in Denmark. Don’t ask.
Whitstable Pearl
9pm, U&Drama
This week’s visit to the Kent coast pays homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window. Policeman Mike (Howard Charles) is the one laid up at home with a broken ankle when he begins to be disturbed by a man in the flat opposite. Are the neighbour’s recurrent night terrors a cover for planning to murder his wife?
Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA
10pm, Channel 4
After almost a decade away from this show, Gordon Ramsay returns to visit struggling restaurants across America, spending a week trying to help them become more successful. The Bel Aire Diner in Astoria, New York, is a family-run business apparently crumbling under the weight of its dysfunction. With their parents retiring, the shouty chef urges two brothers to work through their emotional conflicts to turn their beloved restaurant around.
