Tom Daley's yarn-filled foray into the world of competitive knitting has descended upon Channel 4, leaving us to ponder whether people can actually enjoy watching knitters stitch away. Game of Wool: Britain's Best Knitter brings together 10 'knitting nerds' vying for the top spot, and while it may seem like a strange premise, there's something undeniably captivating about these talented yarn enthusiasts.
As our judges Di Gilpin and Sheila Greenwell look on, the contestants must first create a vest before splitting into teams to tackle the challenge of knitting sofa covers. The end results are truly spectacular – from brightly colored ponchos to intricately patterned throws, the creations are not only beautiful but also a testament to the knitters' skill.
But it's not just the finished products that make this show enjoyable; the contestants themselves are a quirky bunch with stories to tell and personalities to match. As they work together and compete against each other, their camaraderie and banter add an entertaining layer to the proceedings.
If you're looking for something more mellow to watch before bed, you might want to head to BBC Four instead, where Ellie Slorach conducts a spellbinding concert of spooky sounds by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. From Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor to Danse Macabre, this program promises to send shivers down your spine on a chilly autumn evening.
Tonight also brings us two drama-filled episodes of Riot Women and Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing. The former sees the Riot Women punk band take to the stage at a talent contest, complete with a show-stopping performance that's sure to get you screaming along. Meanwhile, Bob and Paul set out on an unlikely fishing adventure in Carmarthenshire, with Ted hunting for his lost briefcase along the way.
Last but not least, Vicky McClure stars as Lana, a bomb disposal expert who helps the counter-terrorism unit unravel a complex murder mystery in Trigger Point. As the stakes grow higher, only one thing is certain – it's going to be an explosive ride.
Finally, if you're in the mood for some ghostly thrills and chills, then Daisy May and Charlie Cooper's NightWatch might just be your cup of tea. The Coopers' stay at a 16th-century coaching inn is soon filled with white ladies, mischievous poltergeists, and a mysterious family connection to a famous highwayman.
As for live sports, today brings us the final of the ICC Women's World Cup on Sky Sports Main Event, as well as Premier League action between West Ham v Newcastle and Man City v Bournemouth.

especially when they're super talented and passionate about it! It's like you get to see the process of creating something beautiful from scratch, and it's actually kinda soothing to watch 
. Plus, these knitting nerds seem like really cool and quirky people, so you'd wanna learn more about 'em too 
. Who knew knitting could be entertaining? 
10 knitting nerds competing against each other? Sounds like a weird setup but hey, if people actually enjoy watching it, more power to 'em! 
I mean, I'm not gonna lie, the finished products are pretty darn impressive - that's for sure. And these contestants aren't just talented, they're quirky and have stories to tell... now that's entertainment in my book! 
. I mean, what's next? A reality competition for extreme ironing or something? 
It's like they're trying to out-weird each other with these weird niche shows. Game of Wool, indeed... who thought that was a good idea? 
it's so fun to watch those talented yarn enthusiasts create these stunning pieces! and the contestants themselves are just so quirky and lovable 
i love how they all come together as a team and support each other - it's like one big knitting party 
I mean who doesn't love watching grown adults sit around for hours, clicking a needle back and forth? It's like the ultimate form of relaxation TV, perfect for when you wanna zone out on a Sunday afternoon. And let's be real, those contestants are basically celebrities in their own right, so it's gotta be entertaining to watch them compete with each other. I'm definitely tuning in to see who can make the most ridiculous-looking poncho 
it sounds kinda boring to me. i'd rather watch the icc womens world cup or premier league football, but nope, they're on tv at the same time and i gotta miss them. isnt there anything else on that's actually exciting? 
Vicky McClure is always so good at playing strong characters. Anyone else a fan of Riot Women? 
knitting shows are soooo cool! who knew watching people stitch yarn could be entertaining 
especially when they're working together and bickering 
i do love a good ghost story 
nightwatch sounds like just my cup of tea 
️
can't wait to watch it with some friends 
️
especially women's footy 
let's get more ladies in the game 
... or maybe it's actually super relatable and I'll be over here like "oh yeah, I've been there too"
