People say they could be doctors or firefighters with no training thanks to TV
A third of people say they could successfully give someone CPR, because they've seen it done on TV shows. And almost 3.5 million even believe they have what it takes to become a doctor or firefighter with no other training other than watching their favourite series. The research was conducted by Sky to co-incide with a three-part #OneChicago crossover event set to air on Friday, July 11 on Sky and NOW. It found that a quarter were inspired by TV to go into their current field of work, and an estimated 1.35 million people quit their job to go into a different field after learning about it on TV. Traditional roles still fill the top spots of the careers people would consider going into after seeing them on TV, with teacher, lawyer and doctor amongst the top jobs. Men are even confident in their physical strength and abilities, with 1 in 10 convinced that they could have a career in the armed forces tomorrow purely based on their current level of expertise having watched people in the armed forces on TV or film. 15% are confident they could become a successful teacher tomorrow with no other experience other than seeing the job carried out on the screen, and some people even think they could become a doctor, nurse or firefighter. 29% of Brits believe they could stop someone from bleeding out, and 12% say they could fight a fire. 16% say they have actually been able to save someone's life using skills learned on TV, and a further 15% say watching TV has helped them diagnose an illness for themselves or someone else. 1 in 10 men say they've been able to solve a crime and 6% say they have even been able to successfully defend themselves in court thanks to TV. The crossover event on Sky Witness will shift the traditional #OneChicago show order, with Chicago Fire kicking things off at 8pm, followed by Chicago Med at 9pm and concluding with Chicago PD at 10pm in the first #OneChicago crossover event since 2019. Viewers will follow the three teams as a gas explosion rocks a high-rise, and Chicago's first responders come out in force to rescue hundreds of civilians. It is the calamity beneath the surface, however, that sends our heroes on a race to save 40 people trapped deep underground, including two of their own.

TV tonight: Noel Edmonds prepares to marry his wife – for the fifth time
9pm, ITV1 It's been the unexpected eccentric hit of the summer, but it's time to say goodbye to Edmonds and his new life in New Zealand. First, though: he wants to marry Liz … for a fifth time! After all, there is a chapel on their estate. He calls on his global operations director ('GOD') to prepare the ceremony, while Edmonds tries to rescue his flailing business. 'I totally accept that there are people who totally dismiss me as being crazy,' he says. 'Am I bothered about that? No, I'm not.' Hollie Richardson 8pm, Channel 4 With one week until the grand reopening of Peacock & Verity, volunteers in Masham race to perfect their beloved Victorian grocers. Although the cafe is complete, a striking window display is still needed, so the team visits Castle Museum in York in search of inspiration. Ali Catterall 8pm, Sky Witness It's a triple-whammy for the Windy City series, with this bumper crossover episode bringing together the Fire, Med and PD strands. The catastrophic event uniting all the responders on this occasion is a gas explosion, which causes a fire and results in a subway tunnel caving in. HR 9pm, Sky ComedyCarrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and friends have more light drama to deal with as the third season of the now much less cringeworthy Sex and the City sequel continues. Old flames, new romances and the intoxicating promise of Carrie becoming a (pretty cheesy) novelist are all swirled together in another sweetly escapist update. Jack Seale 10pm, Channel 4 Look out for a couple of new waiters in this series: Gerald and Kyle, who love to entertain. They will be serving Rebecca, who needs to find someone half-decent (anyone?) who is also a fan of Boris Johnson. Then there is Anna, who wants a beach buddy – will a surfer do? HR 10.50pm, BBC One A double bill of the warm and amiable US mockumentary that shows flashes of greatness. Supervising nurse Alex is horrified to discover that she is the executor of her colleague Joyce's will. Elsewhere, poor online reviews irk the medics, even as a fed-up Dr Ron declares: 'Who cares … it's a hospital, not a Mexican restaurant!' Hannah J Davies Wicked (Jon M Chu, 2024), 10am and 8pm, Sky Cinema PremiereIf you consider yourself a musical agnostic, Wicked might be best enjoyed on a television screen. Consumed in one sitting – so long, so many songs performed at such an unwavering high intensity – anyone undecided might find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer onslaught of the thing. But if you are ready for the plunge, Jon M Chu's Wizard of Oz prequel is an extravaganza. The performances are fantastic, especially Ariana Grande, whose years spent toiling down the Disney Channel mines manifest themselves in a remarkable lightness of touch. The ambition is faultless. And if you aren't moved by the walloping final performance of Defying Gravity, you may be dead inside. Stuart Heritage Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires (Paul Hoen, 2025), Disney+ If you are an adult with unfiltered access to the broad sweep of horror, perhaps Disney's Zombies franchise has passed you by. But if you are a child – sufficiently interested in horror to want to dip your toes in, but not quite ready for outright gore – Zombies is manna from heaven. It's High School Musical, in essence, but with a vaguely supernatural bent. Previous instalments have introduced werewolves and aliens; this time, we get vampires. Featuring songs such as Don't Mess With Us and Kerosene, it's lightweight fluff, but highly enjoyable. SH
