WHAT’S HOT TO WATCH TODAY
TODAY might be a good choice for a duvet day, with the return of two quality daytime series. COUNTRYFILE SPRING
DIARIES (9am, BBC1) sees John Craven, Keeley Donovan and the team deliver us a big fix of the great outdoors with an examination of the biggest rural issues facing Britain. THEN Gloria Hunniford and Co return in RIP OFF
BRITAIN: FOOD (10.45am, BBC1), in which they look at how food companies may be trying to fool us by charging the same price for a product that’s shrunk in size. AND opportunity knocks once again for a few lucky performers in BRITAIN’S GOT
TALENT (7.30pm, ITV) as a week of live semi-finals gets underway.
Eight acts will perform again each night, with the judges, Amanda Holden, David Walliams, Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon, plus the viewers at home deciding which should win one of only two spots in the live grand final. After a break for Corrie, Ant and Dec announce the results at 9.30pm. AND if this morning’s dose of our green and pleasant land wasn’t enough, SPRINGWATCH
2017 is back, too (8pm, BBC2). Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and their welly-booted colleagues report from their new base at Sherborne Park in the leafy Cotswolds. Over the next three weeks they’ll look at the animals that thrive in the estate’s water meadow, oak woods, riverbank and grasslands.
And after fretting on Twitter that he’d been sacked, Martin Hughes-Games is back in a new role as a roving reporter, bringing us wildlife reports from around the country. And we’ll be listening out to see if cheeky Chris has slipped any more song lyrics into his work.
