TV tonight: a group of strangers take on a menacing mountain

Tonight's TV is all about high-stakes adventure and uncomfortable truths.

First up, we have "The Summit", a gruelling challenge show where a group of complete novices must navigate a treacherous mountain in New Zealand before their helicopter follows them - the added twist? The contestants are all from different walks of life with only one common trait: to be utterly unprepared for this physical and mental test. Will they survive, or will they succumb to the merciless pace and sinister helicopter that tracks their every move? Tune in to ITV1 at 9pm.

Next up, foodies will be glued to BBC One as "MasterChef: The Professionals" returns with its trademark thrills, spills and kitchen catastrophes. First off is a challenging skills test set by Gary Maclean, the master chef behind Scotland's national dishes. New judge Matt Tebbutt joins forces with Marcus Wareing and Monica Galetti to taste their way through an array of show-stopping signature dishes - who will make it to the final? Find out at 8pm.

If cooking isn't your thing, then "RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World" is the programme for you. This pageant-themed spin-off features a mouth-watering lineup of contestants as well as some all-star guests from across the globe. Join host Alan Carr and judges Michelle Visage, Jade and Phil for a night of laughs, tears and untold stories - it's on BBC Three at 9pm.

Tonight also sees a gritty episode of "999: What Happened Next", where police track down perpetrators in two shocking cases. In one instance, a father flees with his son after a late-night supermarket bust-up, while three masked men crash into an elderly woman's bedroom - what happens next? Find out on Channel 4 at 10pm.

On BBC One, you'll find another heartwarming episode of the adoption sitcom "Trying", where Jason and Nikki struggle to cope with their new foster daughter Princess. But there's also a surprise twist as they visit an old flame back in Cornwall - will they stay or go?

Meanwhile, Sky Arts airs a charming but rather meandering documentary about none other than Hugh Grant's life. The programme features intimate footage of his film roles, awards acceptance speeches and even glimpses into his love life - it's all here on Sky Arts at 10:45pm.

Finally, film buffs can look forward to two major releases tonight: "Alice, Darling", a tense drama about coercive control starring Anna Kendrick, which airs on BBC Two at 11pm. Next up is Luca Guadagnino's sumptuous adaptation of William Burroughs' novella, Queer, which brings Daniel Craig into the frame as an American expat with a penchant for Mexico City bars - it's also on BBC Two.

Last but not least, if you're in the mood for football then TNT Sports 1 has got your back. Tonight, West Ham take on Manchester United in a thrilling Premier League showdown at 7pm.
 
I'm so over these new-age challenge shows πŸ™„ "The Summit" sounds like a total recipe for disaster to me, having complete novices navigate a treacherous mountain with a helicopter following them? It's just begging for someone to get seriously hurt 😬. And don't even get me started on the foodie competition - all those talented chefs and cooks being put through a rigorous test just to entertain us? Give me a break πŸ™„. At least "Alice, Darling" seems like it might be worth watching, that one looks pretty interesting...
 
It's fascinating to see how television programming is evolving into this eclectic mix of high-stakes adventure and light-hearted entertainment πŸ“Ί I must say, the concept of "The Summit" sounds particularly intriguing, highlighting the human spirit's capacity for resilience in the face of adversity πŸ’ͺ Meanwhile, the return of "MasterChef: The Professionals" on BBC One will surely delight foodies and aficionados alike 🍴 But what strikes me is the juxtaposition between these more intense shows like "999: What Happened Next" and lighter fare like "Trying" and "RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World", speaking to our diverse interests and desires for escapism and social connection.
 
ugh my feeds are gonna be all over the place tonight lol 🀯 i mean what even is the point of having a helicopter hovering above contestants on some wilderness survival show? and foodies on bbc one, seriously though who can't prepare for a baking competition? πŸ°πŸ‘€

anyway i'm kinda excited to watch alice darling tonight - anna kendrick is literally my girl πŸ’– cant wait to see what this film has in store. queer sounds intriguing too tho 😏
 
I'm so over these competition shows... 🀯 They all seem to revolve around people pushing themselves to the limit and being totally unprepared for it, you know? Like what's the point of that?! Can't we just have some relaxing entertainment for once?

I mean, "The Summit" sounds like a right old disaster waiting to happen. I'm not sure how many of those contestants will even make it out alive... 😱 And don't even get me started on the helicopter – what's the point of that?! Just adds to the stress and anxiety, if you ask me.

On the other hand, I do love a good cooking competition! "MasterChef: The Professionals" is always so much fun to watch. Those chefs are total geniuses in the kitchen, and it's amazing to see how they create these incredible dishes from scratch. Maybe that's something we should all try to learn – how to cook like a pro? 🍳

And I have to admit, I'm intrigued by "RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World". I love drag culture, and the idea of bringing together all those talented contestants from around the globe sounds like an absolute blast. Alan Carr is always hilarious as host, so that should be a lot of fun to watch.

But what really gets me going is "Trying" on BBC One. That show is just so heartwarming and authentic – I love how it tackles real-life issues in a way that's relatable and non-judgmental. And that surprise twist episode sounds like it could get pretty emotional... 😭

Lastly, have you seen the lineup of films this week? "Alice, Darling" looks incredibly intense, and Luca Guadagnino is always on point with his direction. I'm excited to see Daniel Craig in a new role – he's just so talented. πŸŽ₯

omg i'm so down for tonight's tv lineup! "The Summit" sounds like an intense challenge show and i love how it brings people from different walks of life together for this crazy adventure πŸ”οΈπŸ’ͺ. and on the other hand, foodies rejoice with "MasterChef: The Professionals" back on bbc one - i've been craving some good ol' fashioned kitchen competition πŸ˜‹πŸ³.

but what's up with all these tv shows being so dramatic? first it's "999: What Happened Next" uncovering some wild crimes and now "Trying" brings emotional drama into our living rooms πŸ€―πŸ’”. can't we just watch some lighthearted sitcoms for once?

and finally, if you're in the mood for something more low-key, that documentary about hugh grant's life on sky arts sounds like a lovely way to unwind 😊🎬.

anyway, who else is excited for tonight's premier league match? πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ”΅
 
Tonight is gonna be EPIC 🀩! I'm so down for "The Summit" - can't wait to see how those unprepared contestants hold up against Mother Nature and that sinister helicopter 😱. And of course, who doesn't love a good baking competition? "MasterChef: The Professionals" always delivers the goods, especially with Matt Tebbutt joining the panel 🍰.

But let's be real, I'm most excited for "RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World" - that show is always serving up laughs and tears in equal measure πŸ˜‚πŸ€£. And if you're a fan of British TV drama, "Trying" has got some great episodes lined up too πŸ“Ί.

Not sure about the Hugh Grant doco, but I'm intrigued by the two film releases tonight. "Alice, Darling" looks intense, and Luca Guadagnino's Queer adaptation sounds like something I'd love to watch on a lazy Sunday πŸΏπŸ‘.

Lastly, who doesn't love some good Premier League football? West Ham vs Manchester United should be a great match 🏟️⚽️. Should be a fun night in front of the telly! πŸ‘€
 
think "The Summit" sounds like an intense one 🀯 i mean, being utterly unprepared is a big deal, but have you seen those contestants from different walks of life? it's like throwing a bunch of fish into a shark tank πŸŸπŸ˜‚ anyway, i'm more curious about "MasterChef: The Professionals". who does Gary Maclean think he is, setting challenges for these pros πŸ€” and what's with the new judge Matt Tebbutt? seems like he's got some serious taste buds πŸ‘… gotta watch this one to see how it all plays out πŸ’β€β™€οΈ

I think "RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World" sounds like such a fun show πŸ€ͺ! I love how they bring together drag queens from all around the world to compete and perform for us. And Alan Carr is always so hilarious as a host πŸ˜‚. But, what I find really interesting about this lineup is that it shows we've come so far in accepting and celebrating diversity. Whether you're into cooking, adventure, or just good old-fashioned drag racing (pun intended πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ), there's something for everyone tonight!

ugh i cant believe im still stuck in this old world 🀯 like remember when we had to use maps to navigate and stuff? now we just have google maps and everything is so convenient 😎 but seriously though, its been ages since ill seen a decent adventure show without all the fake contestants and whatnot. "The Summit" looks kinda cool tho - who doesnt love watching people struggle in the wilderness πŸ”οΈ meanwhile, im still waiting for someone to make a good foodie documentary about the struggles of ordering vegan food at a restaurant lol 🍴
 
πŸ“Ί I'm loving how TV is serving up some serious drama and excitement tonight! The "Summit" challenge show sounds like the ultimate test of survival and camaraderie - who's going to be able to handle the pressure? πŸ”οΈ And don't even get me started on "RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World", I'm so here for that! πŸ˜‚ It's always amazing to see talented drag queens slaying the game.

I also appreciate how some shows are tackling tough topics, like the ones on Channel 4 with their gritty episode of "999: What Happened Next". It's always important to shed light on serious issues and support those who've been affected by them πŸ’”. And I'm loving the mix of foodie fun with "MasterChef: The Professionals" - Gary Maclean is a genius chef, and I love seeing what the new judges bring to the table 🍳.

It's also great to see some light-hearted shows like "Trying", which always makes me laugh with Jason and Nikki's hilarious adoption antics πŸ˜‚. And for all you Hugh Grant fans out there, that documentary on Sky Arts is a must-watch - I've loved watching him grow into his roles over the years πŸŽ₯.

Lastly, sports fans have got their Premier League match to look forward to tonight, and West Ham vs Manchester United should be an epic showdown ⚽️!
 
omg this is literally the most cringeworthy lineup of tv shows ever 🀣 who thought it was a good idea to put "999: What Happened Next" right after a whole series of feel-good family sitcoms? can't they just have one episode about actual trauma for once? 😩
 
The drama and excitement of TV tonight πŸ“ΊπŸ’₯ I'm loving the mix of high-stakes adventure, foodie competition, and heartwarming storylines. Who doesn't want to see what happens when unprepared contestants take on a treacherous mountain πŸ”οΈ? And MasterChef: The Professionals sounds like an absolute blast - I can already imagine all the kitchen catastrophes 😱.

RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World has me intrigued too 🀣, with its lineup of talented contestants and guest stars. Maybe it'll even convince me to get involved in some drag performances myself πŸ’„?

The adoption sitcom "Trying" sounds like a heartwarming addition to my TV schedule ❀️, while the documentary about Hugh Grant's life seems like a fun indulgence 🎬.

What about you? Got any favorite shows or sports matches lined up for tonight?
 
I'm so over these new-fangled reality shows πŸ™„. Remember when we just had a simple game of charades or something? Now it's all about who can survive on a mountain with helicopter overheads and whatnot. Give me a good old-fashioned quiz show any day πŸ˜‚. And what's up with MasterChef? Can't they just make the contestants cook something decent for once? 🀣

Ugh, I'm so done with all these intense competition shows tonight πŸ€―πŸ“Ί "The Summit" sounds like such a stressful watch - I don't know if I could handle being trapped on a mountain with a bunch of strangers πŸ˜…. And foodies might enjoy "MasterChef", but it's just another cooking show that makes me nervous about burning dinner 🍳.

I love the idea of "RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World" though - who wouldn't want to watch queens slaying and serving face? πŸ’„πŸ‘‘ It looks like such a fun and entertaining program.
