BBC One has got its money on David Dimbleby's epic three-parter about the monarchy, which kicks off with a bang tonight at 9pm. The veteran journalist and presenter is no stranger to royal coverage, having reported on countless high-profile events over the years. But this time, he's taking a deep dive into the role of the royals in modern Britain.
In the first episode, Dimbleby examines whether the monarchy is truly impartial when it comes to politics, using letters written by King Charles III during his time as Prince of Wales to Tony Blair, among other documents. He also speaks to insiders like David Cameron and critics like journalist Ash Sarkar.
The show promises to be a juicy mix of politics, history, and even a bit of soap opera drama – according to Ian Hislop, "It's the ultimate soap, isn't it?" Whatever that means.
Tonight at 7:30pm on BBC Two, Mary Berry is back with her latest culinary series, where she invites ghost star Kiell Smith-Bynoe along for the ride as they whip up a four-course dinner party. It promises to be a feast of foodie fun and games.
Later on BBC One, it's the final week of heats in Celebrity MasterChef, with no eliminations tonight but plenty of pressure on the contestants to bring their A-game. They'll be facing off in challenges like turning a single ingredient into a star dish and navigating a blindfolded palate test.
And if you're looking for some reality TV thrills, Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury is back with another double bill tonight on BBC Three, featuring Love Islander turned boxing pro Tommy Fury. Will he be able to navigate the highs and lows of his personal life amidst a tough physical training regimen?
On Channel 5 at 8pm, Cooper & Fry are heading into disused quarry territory to investigate a murder – but will they uncover any real answers among all the red herrings?
Last but not least, if you're in the mood for some adrenaline-fueled travelogue action, World's Most Dangerous Roads is back with Jamie-Lee O'Donnell and Saoirse-Monica Jackson braving the rugged Romanian mountains. It's their fifth trip together this year – and it looks like they'll be going off-road like never before.

! As a Brit, it's crazy to think about the royals and their role in modern politics. I mean, it's not like we haven't been talking about this stuff for ages, but maybe it'll be interesting to see some behind-the-scenes docs with King Charles III's own words. And Ash Sarkar as a critic? That's a nice touch 
. Can't wait to watch it and see what all the fuss is about!
i need some solid sources on the king's letters to tony blair before i believe this is more than just a PR stunt. and what's up with mary berry inviting kiell smith-bynoe? didn't she fire him from her baking show last year?
. Like we haven't heard that same old song and dance before. And David Dimbleby's just gonna regurgitate all the same old facts and opinions from his mates in the establishment 
. I mean, what's the point of even doing a show if you're not gonna bring some real heat? 
. Kiell Smith-Bynoe seems like a nice guy too, hope they have some fun together on that show 
.
Can't decide whether he's more annoying or fascinating 
. Hopefully they can get some decent clues out of that murder mystery 
! Jamie-Lee and Saoirse-Monica always make travel look so exciting 
! i'm really intrigued by the use of letters written by king charles iii during his time as prince of wales - it sounds like it could be super juicy 
! and who knows, maybe we'll even get some tea on david cameron's royal connections 
. fingers crossed its not too dry for me! 
. And don't even get me started on World's Most Dangerous Roads - those girls are literally crazy! 
But hey at least they're having a blast doing it 
. And lastly, I'll definitely be watching Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury with Love Islander Tommy Fury - boxing and reality TV is always a win-win for me 
"
, I mean, who watches a whole episode about making dinner parties? Can't we just have a foodie documentary without all the cutesy drama?
. And don't even get me started on reality TV – Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury sounds like a complete trainwreck to me.
.
What about you, who's your go-to show on a Wednesday night? 
and have you seen the trailer for world's most dangerous roads? 
those Romanian mountains look treacherous!!
