Isle of Wight Festival Highlights 2022
Sky Arts, 7pm
The nature of the festival may have changed massively from its counterculture days in the 1960s, but it continues to attract big names and bigger crowds. Coverage of the opening day at Seaclose Park in Newport will bring an eclectic range of top musical acts, with sets from Lewis Capaldi, Madness, Sigrid, and Nile Rodgers and Chic. Here’s hoping the weather holds!
Gardeners’ World BBC Two, 8pm
Monty Don presents, along with his colleagues, an undoubted highlight of the horticultural calendar: the
Gardeners’ World Live event at Birmingham NEC. This time around we focus on the gorgeous floral marquee, and aficionados of bright penstemons and hydrangeas are sure to be pleased as the experts reveal their secrets so that we too can grow the best possible blooms.
This is MY House BBC One, 8.30pm
The shorter running time for the second series of the jolly property-based guessing game works well; this week judges Judi Love, Richard Madeley, Joel Dommett and Sindhu Vee try to discern who really owns a 17th-century hunting lodge near Glasgow. Each of the four “Erwins” – who say they live there with ballet dancer partner, Preston – are comically catty as they lay claim to the house and vie for a low-stakes, £1,000 prize. It’s daft as ever, but great fun to watch.
