FOUR OF THE BEST
Gardening with Carol Klein Channel 5, 7pm
For gardeners, this time of year is all about hope, when everything accelerates, and doubts are swept aside with the last of the winter detritus. Beneath the still-bare trees in her woodland garden at Glebe Cottage in Devon, Carol introduces us to “Cinderella plants” – wood anemones, celandines and other delightful spring flowers that must push through the ground, flower and set seed before the tree canopy closes over, when they must sleep once more until next spring. She also shows us the joy of dividing snowdrops and primroses, as well as what work should be under way in the veggie garden.
Dragons’ Den BBC1, 8pm
Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, Tej Lalvani and Sara Davies are ready to grill more entrepreneurs, who in tonight’s episode include a Mancunian pair with a dream of sharing music through an app. Unfortunately for them, the Dragons seem to think their forecasts are a bit on the optimistic side, but can the duo convince the industry giants that their business is still worth investing in? There’s also fierce questioning in store for a husband-and-wife team who want backing for their ethical clothing verification platform.
This Is My House BBC1, 9pm
For the last episode in the series, panellists Bill Bailey, Emily Atack, Judi Love and Jamali Maddix are joined by guest Katie Piper as they attempt to identify the real owner of a house. This week, the property in question is a stylish home in South East London, which belongs to an artist named Erica, who lives there with partner Sam. There are four Ericas, who share their opinions on everything from the story of their wedding day to the name of their plumber, but only one is the genuine article. If the panellists get it right, the real Erica will win a cash prize.
Frank of Ireland Channel 4, 10pm
There’s bad news for Frank this week – it seems things are getting serious between Aine and Peter-brian. So, he could either wish her well and move on with his own life, or try to sabotage her relationship by exposing the object of her affections. Naturally, he goes for the latter option, but in the process of collecting evidence, he starts to take a shine to Peter-brian himself, much to Doofus’ concern. Meanwhile, Mary needs help covering the mortgage so she opens her home to a tenant – or two.
