Yesterday’s Sunday is thin, and the honest advice is to pick one hour and leave. The best of it is Dream Car Fixers at 8pm, the only primetime title that is not already on screen all day or about to be on again. It has aired on four days in the window, so it is not a stranger, but it is the freshest-feeling name between seven and midnight. It faces Columbo on 5USA and Blue Planet III on BBC One, which is a lot to ask of a restoration programme.

The 7pm slot is Canal Boat Diaries, and the channel has leaned on it hard. It is on at 10am, 11am, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm and then again at 7pm: six showings before primetime ends its run for the day, and it has aired on six days in the window. Anyone who wants to see it has had every chance. It is described as a 2019 British series, and that is all there is to say for certain. If you have not watched it by 7pm, you will not be rewarded for waiting, but you will not be punished either.

After eight the evening turns into a motoring block. Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics at 9pm is followed by Bangers & Cash at 10pm and again at 11pm, and Bangers & Cash had already run at midnight and 1am. That is five slots for one franchise in one day, which is a long time to spend with any title, however well made. Fans will find it comforting. Everyone else should treat the 9pm as the only slot that matters and stop there.

Daytime is fixed travel: Great Continental Railway Journeys fills the morning, with Martin Clunes: Islands of Australia and Indian Ocean with Simon Reeve each on twice in the afternoon. Those pairs are the best case for putting the television on at lunch.

Verdict: Dream Car Fixers at eight, one hour of Bangers & Cash at nine, then switch over.
