Four hours of MAS*H, then a Paul Schrader film

GREAT! tv gives its evening to two things: MAS*H from 7pm to 9pm, four half-hour episodes back to back, then Master Gardener. The sitcom did 256 episodes over 11 series on CBS between 1972 and 1983, and tonight’s run goes through episodes 11 to 14 of the first series. It comes round again at 23:25, when the first two are repeated.

The film is the pick. Master Gardener is a 2022 drama, thriller and romance directed by Paul Schrader, with Joel Edgerton and Sigourney Weaver in the cast, alongside Quintessa Swindell and Esai Morales. It is not a typical schedule-filler for this channel, whose daytime is Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, and it is the only thing tonight that changes the mood. It starts at nine and is cut in two: 52 minutes, a five-minute bulletin, then 88 more from 21:57. Plan around the break.

Competition is mixed. At nine, 5action has For a Few Dollars More, E4 has M3GAN and Channel 5 has Harrods: The Rise & Fall of a British Institution. At ten, BBC News at Ten and Carrie on BBC Two arrive as Master Gardener is still going, which is an easy decision.

If you want comfort, stay for the sitcom. If you want something with an edge, wait for the film.
