A deeply personal documentary leads Tuesday night TV, while Katya Adler travels across Europe and Champions League football returns.
Tuesday evening television offers a more reflective tone, led by a powerful Storyville documentary examining a father’s relationship with his son over two decades.
Elsewhere, BBC Two continues its European current affairs series with Katya Adler, while Channel 4’s The Dog House returns with more rescue stories. There is also a full schedule of Champions League football for sports viewers.
Storyville: Portrait of a Confused Father
10pm, BBC Four
This intimate and difficult documentary from Norwegian film-maker Gunnar Hall Jensen draws on more than 20 years of footage capturing life with his son, Jonathan.
What begins as a warm portrait of family life gradually shifts as Jonathan becomes more distant in early adulthood. The film reflects on that change with a sense of unease, before confronting the reality of his son’s death at 21.
Jensen’s narration is candid throughout. He questions his own role as both father and film-maker, and whether documenting the relationship shaped it in ways he did not fully understand at the time.
It is a quiet but emotionally direct film, concerned less with answers than with memory and perspective.

The Dog House
8pm, Channel 4
Channel 4’s rescue series returns with a new group of dogs in need of homes.

Europe on the Edge With Katya Adler
9pm, BBC Two
Katya Adler concludes her journey across Europe, examining how different countries are responding to political and economic uncertainty.

Ellis

Watching UK TV while travelling
Streaming services such as BBC iPlayer, ITVX and Channel 4 usually restrict access outside the UK due to licensing agreements.
For viewers travelling abroad, this can mean losing access to programmes they would normally watch at home, even when they have valid subscriptions.
A UK based VPN allows users to connect through domestic servers and access those same services while overseas. Performance varies depending on network reliability and how platforms manage connections.
LibertyShield operates UK servers designed to support stable access to streaming platforms. Readers can test compatibility using the 48-hour free trial, which allows the service to be tried across devices before deciding whether to continue.
