PICK OF THE DAY

THE GREAT NORTHERN GARDEN BUILD 8PM, BBC2 ★★★★

We first saw behind the scenes of RHS Bridgewater in Salford shortly before it opened to the public on May 18 – and here’s another episode charting the design and construction of the Royal Horticultural Society’s fifth showcase garden (right). It’s one of the most ambitious garden projects ever mounted in the UK, and the pandemic only added to the challenges of its development. In this second episode, we catch up with the designers, engineers and gardeners as they get to work transforming the vast site in Greater Manchester.

SECRETS OF YOUR SUPERMARKET FOOD 7PM, CH5 ★★★

This episode is packed with tips on how to get the most out of your weekly shop and make your pennies stretch even further. Sian Williams learns that cheaper tinned foods are still full of nutrients and, with Andi Miranda, reveals how to freeze and pickle your leftover fruit and veg.

THE SUPERVET 8PM, CH4 ★★★

Noel Fitzpatrick and his team don’t just come to the rescue of damaged dogs – in tonight’s episode, feisty ferret Astrid requires delicate surgery on her tiny broken leg. Back in canine care, a Dobermann and a Labrador are both on the slate for complicated life-enhancing procedures that are not without risk.

THE HOTEL INSPECTOR 9PM, CH5 ★★★★

Alex Polizzi unpacks her no-nonsense approach for a stay at the The Dukes in the village of Heath and Reach in Bedfordshire. Run by mumof-two Sarah, the business has been struggling, as has Sarah. First, Alex needs to help

Sarah to regain her confidence – and regain control of her staff, and her dream.
