PICK OF THE DAY
STARSTRUCK 8.30PM, ITV
★★★★
This upbeat new contest has four judges – Sheridan Smith, Beverley Knight (right), Jason Manford and Queen front man Adam Lambert – who all know their way around a tune, and opentheshowwithabelter
of a group performance with host Olly Murs. Then, four trios of contestants undergo dramatic transformations into pop icons and compete for a place in the final. It’s enormous fun, recalling the classic show Stars In Their Eyes with its incredible makeovers and strong vocals, plus a judging panel who are enthusiastic, positive and not a bit nasty.
THE MASKED SINGER 7PM, ITV
★★★★
The colourful craziness ends tonight as the contest reaches the grand final and a winner
is crowned. There have been a few surprises along the way (although no one was fooled by Michael Owen as Doughnuts), and there are sure to be more in store as the last three celebs standing suit up and sing their socks – and masks – off.
MATT BAKER: OUR FARM IN THE DALES 7.30PM, CH4 ★★★
Matt and the Baker family get ready for the spring lambing season at the start of this new series, which follows year two on the farm.

WONDROUS WALES 8.30PM, CH4
★★★
This returning series explores life in and around the beautiful national parks of Wales: the Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia and the Pembrokeshire coast. Tonight, we meet a coastal artist who works against the tide, and follow a motherand-daughter team taking on an intimidating rock climb on Anglesey. SIMONE ANDREWS
