TV tonight: a relaxing art competition in the Lake District

Sky Arts is offering viewers a tranquil escape from the stresses of everyday life with its latest art competition, Landscape Artist of the Year 2026. The serene setting of Derwentwater, known as the "queen of the Lakes", provides a picturesque backdrop for artists to showcase their talents. Hosted by Stephen Mangan, the show brings together talented artists competing for a coveted spot in the semi-finals.

On Channel 5, viewers will be encouraged to reflect on their cognitive abilities with How to Keep Your Brain Young. Dr Amir Khan delves into the world of neuroscience, presenting new research and lifestyle tips that can help maintain mental sharpness throughout life. Three volunteers will undergo two-week challenges to test these methods, while also exploring topics such as spotting early onset dementia and treating addiction.

Meanwhile, BBC One's The Traitors continues its gripping drama, with a new batch of twists and turns that are sure to surprise both viewers and contestants. As the remaining players vie for their place in the game, alliances will be formed and broken, leading to shocking discoveries over breakfast.

Nature lovers will enjoy the latest episode of Digging for Britain, which features an incredible discovery near Thetford in Norfolk. Archaeologist Prof Alice Roberts guides the team as they unearth a remarkable find that promises to shed new light on Queen Boudicca's life and reign.

As the night winds down, Sky Witness presents Matlock, a captivating drama that delves into the world of family law. Kathy Bates stars alongside Skye P Marshall in this intriguing second season, where alliances are formed and broken as they battle for justice.

Finally, BBC One offers up Can You Keep a Secret?, a hilarious new sitcom about kooky widow Debbie (played by Dawn French). As Debbie navigates her complicated relationships with her anxious son Harry and his police officer wife, will she be able to keep secrets from those closest to her?
 
I'm so done with these shows. I mean, Landscape Artist of the Year 2026 is just a bunch of folks painting pretty pictures in front of a lake. What's next, a competition for who can make the most boring cup of tea? 🤪 And don't even get me started on How to Keep Your Brain Young - like we're all secretly going to magically become brainiacs if we watch this show and follow Dr Amir Khan's tips. Newsflash: it doesn't work that way! 🙄

And The Traitors is just a game, people! It's all about manipulation and backstabbing - exactly what I want from my entertainment. Can't we get some real drama for once? And Digging for Britain? More like Digging Up the Same Old Stuff. Archaeology is so... predictable. 🙃

Matlock sounds like more of the same, but hey, if you're into family law dramas, go for it. And Can You Keep a Secret? - yawn. I mean, who hasn't seen that "quirky widow" trope before? It's just a formulaic sitcom with a bunch of old folks complaining about stuff. 😴
 
I'm so down for this season of Sky Arts' Landscape Artist of the Year 🌳🎨. I mean, who doesn't need a break from the stress of everyday life amidst all that beauty in Derwentwater? And on BBC One, Can You Keep a Secret? is already having me LOL 😂 over Debbie's crazy antics with her son and his wife. The Traitors on Channel 5 sounds intense though - love how it keeps pushing boundaries. Mental sharpness is key, you know? Need some tips to keep my brain young like Dr Amir Khan 💡
 
I'm so down for some mind-bending fun on How to Keep Your Brain Young 🧠💡. I mean, who doesn't want to stay sharp as a tack and outsmart their loved ones 😂? I've been feeling like I'm getting older by the minute, and Dr Amir Khan's tips on boosting cognitive abilities are just what I need to shake off that foggy brain feeling ☕️. I'm intrigued by the two-week challenges – will it be enough to keep my brain young and healthy, or is it all just a bunch of hooey? 🤔
 
🙄 the whole 'brain games' vibe is just so played out, like we're all still trying to figure out how to use TikTok 🤯 but honestly who needs a 2-week challenge to tell you to exercise and eat better? it's not rocket science, fam 💁‍♀️
 
omg i just love the sounds of all these shows 🤩! landscape artist of the year 2026 sounds like such a chill way to relax, who wouldn't want to paint beautiful landscapes by derwentwater lake 🌊?? and how to keep your brain young is soooo interesting!! 🧠 dr amir khan seems super knowledgeable about neuroscience, i wanna watch all his episodes 📺💡 meanwhile, the traitors on bbc one sounds like a thrilling drama, can't wait for those twists and turns 😱 and digging for britain has me hooked on archaeology, queen boudicca's life is so fascinating 🏯🔍
 
I'm loving the variety of shows on TV right now 📺. I think it's great that there are so many different options for people to choose from - whether you're into art, science, drama or comedy, there's something for everyone. I'm a big fan of How to Keep Your Brain Young, Amir Khan is so knowledgeable about neuroscience and it's fascinating to learn about the latest research and methods to keep our brains sharp as we age 🧠. And on the other hand, I've been enjoying the suspenseful drama on The Traitors - those twists and turns are keeping me guessing! 👀
 
I'm loving the sound of Sky Witness's Matlock 🚔👮‍♀️, just something about Kathy Bates that draws me in. And Can You Keep a Secret? seems like a nice laugh too 😂, Dawn French is always good for a giggle. But what really caught my eye was Digging for Britain 💡, can't wait to learn more about Queen Boudicca's life 🏯.
 
I think Sky Arts is totally crazy for having Landscape Artist of the Year 2026 - I mean, who needs that much art on TV?! 🤯 It's just going to give me a headache thinking about all those landscapes. And don't even get me started on Derwentwater, it sounds like such a boring place to be stuck in for weeks... but at the same time, I guess it could be really beautiful and inspiring if you're into that sorta thing.

And I'm not sure about How to Keep Your Brain Young, I mean, Dr Amir Khan seems like a great guy and all, but I've read so many books on this stuff already... 📚 Like, do we really need another show telling us how to keep our brains young? But at the same time, if it's got some actual science behind it and can help people out then that's awesome!

I'm not even gonna get started on The Traitors, that show is just so... unpredictable! 🤪 Like, I love a good twist as much as the next person, but sometimes it feels like they're just trying to mess with us on purpose. But hey, if it keeps me on my toes then I'm all for it!

And yeah, Digging for Britain sounds super interesting - I love archaeology and history! 🏯 Prof Alice Roberts seems like an amazing host, she's so knowledgeable about everything.

I'm actually kinda excited to see Matlock, Kathy Bates is a legend and I've heard great things about this show. Skye P Marshall is also really talented, I've seen her in other stuff before...

But Can You Keep a Secret? sounds like it might be a bit too cheesy for my taste... 😂 I mean, I love Dawn French but let's be real, that show could be pretty cringy at times.
 
I'm so down for these shows! I mean, who doesn't love a good art competition 🎨 or a brain-boosting show to help us stay sharp? 🧠 How to Keep Your Brain Young sounds like just what we need with all the stress in our lives. And on The Traitors, alliances are always so dramatic and entertaining! 💬 I'm also super excited for Digging for Britain, who knows what secrets those archaeologists will uncover next? 🏴‍☠️ Matlock's got me curious too, family law can be so complex, but Kathy Bates is always great at playing strong characters. And lastly, Can You Keep a Secret? has me laughing out loud just thinking about it! Dawn French is hilarious 😂. I'm already looking forward to the rest of these shows coming up! 📺
 
I think its fab that TV's offering all sorts of things for different interests. I've been watching Digging for Britain lately & its amazing the stuff they find! 🤯 Then theres Can You Keep a Secret? which has me laughing out loud, Dawn French is comedy gold. The other day I was talking to my mate who's 65 & he was saying how much he loves Matlock, says its helped him connect with his family life more. Sky Witness does a great job bringing these real-life issues to light.
 
I'm so done with all this relaxation content 🤯. Can't we have a competition that tests our skills and values instead of just art or brain games? I mean, think about it, how many artists are actually using their talents to make a real impact on society? Meanwhile, Digging for Britain is digging up ancient secrets but what's being done to preserve those same historical sites? 🤔 It's all about the entertainment industry over actual progress.
 
I think it's so cool that Sky Arts is doing another art competition. The Derwentwater setting sounds amazing 🌊🎨 I wonder who'll win the Landscape Artist of the Year 2026 and what kind of artwork they'll create.
 
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW ART COMPETITION ON SKY ARTS!!! LANDSCAPE ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2026 IS GOING TO BE AMAZING! I LOVE HOW THEY CHOSE DERWENTWATER AS THE SETTING, IT'S SUCH A STUNNING LOCATION. I HOPE WE GET TO SEE SOME REALLY INSPIRING ARTWORK AND WATCH OUR FAVOURITE ARTISTS COMPETE FOR THAT SEMI-FINAL SPOT 🎨👏
 
I'm loving the lineup of shows this season! 📺 I think Sky Arts' Landscape Artist of the Year is such a great idea - who wouldn't want to get away from it all and tap into their creative side surrounded by beautiful scenery? 😊 And on Channel 5, I'm intrigued by How to Keep Your Brain Young - it's so important to prioritize our mental health and find ways to stay sharp as we age. 🧠

I've also been binging The Traitors on BBC One, and that show just keeps getting better! 💥 The twists and turns are always surprising, and I love how the contestants navigate their alliances and rivalries. And have you seen Digging for Britain? That archaeologist Prof Alice Roberts is so fascinating - she's like a modern-day Indiana Jones! 🏯

As for Can You Keep a Secret?, I'm really looking forward to seeing Dawn French bring Debbie to life - her comedy timing always cracks me up! 😂 It sounds like a hilarious show, and I love the complicated relationships between Debbie, Harry, and his wife. Bring on the laughs!
 
I don't know if I'd trust that How to Keep Your Brain Young show... sounds like a bunch of pseudoscience to me 🤔. They're gonna put three random volunteers through some "challenges" and call it science? And what's with the obsession with maintaining mental sharpness throughout life? Can't we just accept that our brains aren't what they used to be 😴? I mean, have you seen the state of the environment lately? We should be worried about keeping the planet alive rather than trying to keep our own minds sharp. Not buying it 🚫
 
OMG u guys 🤯 i'm so done with all these shows 😴 they're literally trying to make us feel all the feels 💔 Landscape Artist of the Year 2026 sounds super relaxing tho 🌿 can u imagine painting while watching that lake? 🎨 idk about how to keep ur brain young tho 🤯 sounds like a total snooze fest 📚 but i guess if u r into that sorta thing? 😴
 
I'm loving the mix of arts & culture on Sky Arts, but you know who else needs a break from their busy schedules... politicians 😂. I mean, think about it, Landscape Artist of the Year 2026 should really be called "Landscape Politician of the Year" because who better to represent our great nation's natural beauty than someone who's mastered the art of landscape painting? And can you imagine if Stephen Mangan used his hosting skills to bring people together like he does in this show, instead of just moderating heated debates on live TV? 🤔
