Will there be even
more upsets?
● TENNIS / from 11am / BBC1/BBC2
LIVE
It’s a tournament
famous for its
upsets, and
Wimbledon certainly hasn’t
let us down this year. Who’d
have thought Venus Williams
would be knocked out in the
first round by a 15-year-old?
And that top players like Stan
Wawrinka and Dominic Thiem
would fail to reach the second
week? There have been good
surprises, too, of course –
what a pleasure to watch Andy
Murray step on to Centre Court
with Serena Williams as his
doubles partner! All of it comes
down to this very special
winners’ weekend as the finals
take place in front of an excited
crowd at SW19, with the
women’s today and the men’s
tomorrow. Could this be the
year for brand-new champions
to emerge? HHHHHEB

Alien Fun Capsule
● COMEDY / 6.45pm / ITV
This week’s victims of Harry Hill’s unique brand of
ribbing are Sarah Greene, Charlie Dimmock, Kelly Brook
and Warwick Davis. As well as embarrassing footage
from their TV careers, there’s also a rap about Kent’s
Medway towns and a skit involving a horse and a rubber
chicken. At the start, Harry declares, ‘If ever there was
a show living on borrowed time, this is it.’ As long as it’s
this funny, we wouldn’t be so sure about that. HHHHMH
Casualty
● DRAMA / 8.25pm / BBC 1
Brilliant and formidable as Connie is, she’s not invincible.
Ciaran (Rick Warden) has really got under her skin, and
her anxiety is getting worse as his list of demandsgrows.
With Archie plotting behind her back and Hanssen no
support, she’s at breaking point and probably not safe to
practise. Meanwhile, there’s a prison riot; it wouldn’t be
Casualty without an implausible guest story. HHHHEB
