TV tonight: Olly Murs' Soccer Aid spectacular and more

AI Summary
Olly Murs takes part in the 20th annual Soccer Aid match, alongside celebrities like Jill Scott and Wayne Rooney. Other TV highlights include Under the Vines on BBC One and Gardeners' World on BBC Two.

Olly Murs Steps Into the Unknown for Soccer Aid

Olly Murs recently completed a brutal 400km journey from Old Trafford in Manchester to the London Stadium by running, cycling and rowing – and raised £830,000 for Unicef. On Sunday, he will take part in the 20th annual Soccer Aid match, along with Jill Scott, Tom Hiddleston, Wayne Rooney, Jermain Defoe, Owen Cooper and Angry Ginge.

Under the Vines

Pressing concerns: the first season of this breezy wine-making daytime drama saw chalk-and-cheese step-cousins Louis (Charles Edwards) and Daisy (Rebecca Gibney) grow close after jointly inheriting a kaput New Zealand vineyard. But as this second run begins, Louis seems set on heading back to London with his ex.

Gardeners' World

With summer making an early appearance, now is the time to embrace Monty Don’s colourful, bold flowers. Only got a patio to play with? Rekha Mistry has big plans for a small space. And Carol Klein is discovering the science of what happens to a seed from the very moment it is sown.

Hunting Britain’s Fugitives: Dispatches

How many people are at large in the UK, guilty of serious crimes, but on the run and easily evading the authorities? Lawbreakers may think justice will never catch up with them, but some are less successful at escaping the attentions of reporter Matt Shea, who takes it upon himself to track them down and, in spite of the potential threat of violence, confront them.

Ponies

American widows Bea (Emilia Clarke) and Twila (Haley Lu Richardson) have made an impactful debut as spies in Moscow in 1977: they’ve burned down a pub. How can they top that? A confident comedy drama fleshes out its two protagonists by giving Bea a new mission that requires her to toughen up, while Twila benefits from letting her guard down.

Smoggie Queens

Like a more chaotic, camper Beautiful People, the series ends with a bang as the gang, through flashbacks, recount a cheating scandal that happened during the final of the Mr Teesside competition. Expect several unreliable narrators, fake chest hair and “Detective Sexy” (AKA Dickie wearing fake breasts and a Sherlock cap).

Film choice

Fuze (David Mackenzie, 2025), 6.15am, 12.10pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere. Two of the bookies’ favourites to be the next James Bond go head to head in David Mackenzie’s tense, rug-pulling thriller. Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as no-nonsense army bomb disposal major Will Tranter, called to defuse a second world war bomb in central London.
