● 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
