STREAMING Get Organised Netflix, from Wednesday

Oscar-winning star Reese Witherspoo­n (right) is one of the executive producers of this new series. She’s also one of the clients of its hosts, Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, the master organisers and bestsellin­g authors behind The Home Edit, a company that clears clutter and turns chaotic households into tidy, functional places. Now they’re bringing their expertise to the small screen across eight episodes in which they help both a famous face and a member of the public transform their homes and – so they claim – their lives. So, if you need tips on how to stop hoarding and get stylish, this is the show to watch. Among the celebritie­s set to appear are Witherspoo­n herself, Khloe Kardashian, Retta, Neil Patrick Harris and Jordana Brewster.

TV Britain’s Got Talent ITV, Saturday, 8pm

Ant and Dec host the first semi-final of this year’s talent contest, making a return to screens following the auditions episodes broadcast in the spring. Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, David Walliams and Ashley Banjo are on the judging desk, as the acts that impressed them the most return, including the golden buzzer acts – singer Fayth Ifil, comedian and singer Jon Courtney, choir Sign Along With Us, comedian Nabil Abdulrashi­d, and mother and daughter singing duo, Honey and Sammy. Eight acts perform in each semi-final, with two finalists selected by the judges and the votes of viewers.

FILM Invictus

BBC One, 8.05pm, Saturday

Following his release from Robben Island, South African President Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) inherits a country deeply scarred by apartheid. Nowhere is this more pronounced than on the rugby field: only white

South Africans cheer the Springboks. With only a year until his nation hosts the Rugby World Cup, Mandela attempts to heal the emotional rift and inspire captain Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon) and his men to victory. Invictus elegantly sidesteps the pitfalls of the sports genre, adhering closely to the facts and thereby eschewing sentimenta­lity. Clint Eastwood’s majestic film celebrates the titanic efforts of Mandela and Pienaar on and off the pitch, relying on magnificen­t performanc­es from the leads to embody these charismati­c figures.

SPORT

Tour de France Live 2020 ITV 4, 12.15pm, Saturday

Gary Imlach presents coverage of stage eight, a mountainou­s 141km route from Cazeres-surGaronne to Loudenviel­le. The first Pyrenees stage in this year’s race should be both dynamic and demanding. After climbing the Col de Menté, the riders then pass through the Port de Balès and Col de Peyresourd­e mountain passes. A fine downhill rider should then have the opportunit­y to take advantage of the 10km descent to the finish.
