If you want music and dance... DANCING WITH THE STARS Sunday, 6.30pm, RTÉ One
It’s Orchestra Week on Dancing With The Stars and the competing couples will be accompanied by live music from the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, with Jennifer Zamparelli and Nicky Byrne (pictured) overseeing proceedings. Which celebrity dancer will leave the competition at the end of the show?
If you want an old favourite... LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX Sunday, 9pm, BBC1
Sally Wainwright’s Baftawinning drama returns for a much-anticipated fifth series. It’s been more than three years since we last met up with Celia and Alan (Anne Reid and Derek Jacobi, right), but as we return to
Yorkshire, not everything is rosy in their relationship.
If you want food fights... MASTERCHEF Monday, 9pm, BBC1
John Torode and Gregg Wallace (right) throw open the doors to television’s most famous kitchen for a new series of the culinary competition. Sixty hopeful amateur cooks begin the journey to the title this week as the heats get under way. There are more helpings on Wednesday and Friday.
If you want family drama... FLESH AND BLOOD Monday-Thursday, 9pm, UTV
Clear your diaries this week for this absorbing four-part thriller, showing over consecutive nights. Francesca Annis is the seventysomething widow who falls for a retired doctor (Stephen Rea, right, with Annis) – much to the dismay of her grown-up children. But are they right to be so suspicious?
If you want home comforts... HOME OF THE YEAR Tuesday, 8.30pm, RTé One
Returning for a sixth series, 21 properties will compete for the Home of the Year title in 2020, with three very different houses featured each week. The judges making the tough decisions are architect Peter Crowley interior designer Deirdre Whelan, and designer Hugh Wallace (right).
If you want a tense thriller... KIRI Wed, 10.40pm, RTé One
Sarah Lancashire (right) is once again outstanding as Miriam Grayson, a social worker caught up in a police investigation when a young girl called Kiri goes missing during one of her supervised visits. Excellent support comes from Gary Shelford, Scarlett Brookes, Kaine Zajaz and Milo Twomey.
