Cameras follow all the behind-the-scenes drama at Park House Stables. Plus: all the fun of a summer in Devon and Cornwall. Here’s what to watch this evening

10pm, BBC Four
Here is one for serious racing fans: a behind-the-scenes, all-access documentary series filmed at the Park House Stables – one of the top-performing in the UK – in the nine tense months leading up to Royal Ascot. Episode one starts as the 2020 season ends, with Irish jockey Oisin Murphy defending his title, and trainer Andrew Balding prepping horses for the US while also recruiting new talent.

Michelle de Swarte’s semi-autobiographical take on her materialist former life is a gleeful romp. Plus: war arrives in Westeros – and how! Here’s what to watch this evening

10pm, BBC Two
Model turned standup comic and actor Michelle de Swarte is a naturally magnetic performer (she was excellent in 2022’s horror comedy The Baby), so this is a very exciting writer/director/star debut. Inspired by De Swarte’s real life, Spent follows Mia, a model pushing 40 who flees the US after declaring bankruptcy because, after growing up with nothing, she cannot resist the finer things in life. She returns to Brixton, where her friends and family don’t exactly welcome her with open arms and her agent (Peepshow’s Super Hans actor, Matt King) only has one gig for her – dog sitting. But how long can she keep hiding that she’s skint and sofa-surfing? Sharp, funny and an easy binge. Hollie Richardson

Laura Kuenssberg and Clive Myrie helm the BBC’s coverage, while Emily Maitlis and Krishnan Guru-Murthy do things a bit differently on Channel 4. Plus: more juicy drama in Douglas Is Cancelled. Here’s what to watch this evening

9.55pm, BBC One
Is time up for Rishi Sunak and his Tory government? After what has felt like the longest, least inspiring election campaign in UK history, it is finally time to find out. All major channels will be covering the event throughout the night and well into the early hours of the morning (get the supplies in), including Laura Kuenssberg and Clive Myrie for the BBC. They will be helped by political editor Chris Mason and his correspondents, Jeremy Vine with his famous swingometer, and Kirsty Wark, Fiona Bruce, Victoria Derbyshire and Naga Munchetty who will be dotted across the nation. At least there’s one guaranteed good bit of news here: no more nauseating TV debates. Hollie Richardson
