PICK OF THE WEEK

SATURDAY

Celebrity Catchpoint (BBC1, 6.45pm)

Nobody else but Paddy McGuinness could host this entertaining game show, proudly boasting the biggest balls on the box. If you haven’t seen it, two star teams want to win big for charity but only one can take home the catch of the day in the ultimate battle of brains and balls. The new series kicks off as Tia Kofi and The Vivienne from Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK, and Radio 1 DJs Scott Mills and Chris Stark swap rubbing shoulders with the stars for what they hope will be a money-spinning time with presenter Paddy.

A Lake District Farm Shop (C4, 8.15pm)

Lifestyle buyer Tracey Clowes, of Tebay motorway services, a popular stopping spot for Scots motorists, has a plan to turn the sheared sheep fleece from the service station’s farm into a bespoke tweed for blankets and cushions. Back in Cumbria, experienced weaver Laura Rosenzweig gets to work, with an inspirational trip to the glorious Howgill Fells. And, over in Keswick, preserves supplier Jake Winter, of Wild & Fruitful, wants to extend his savoury range, with the service station’s buyer Jane Karlicek intrigued by his new ketchup. Finally, head of food sourcing Dan Pearson and farm shop buyer Alex Evans pay a visit to butter company Winter Tarn Dairy.

Hidden (BBC4, 9pm)

Fans have been on the edge of their seats throughout the third series of this excellent Welsh-language drama, which comes to a breath-taking end with this nail-biting edition. After an extensive property search, the police discover clues to a location that might, at long last, provide some answers to the murders. Meanwhile, as Cadi races to prevent another tragedy occurring, emotions run high as the sad truth finally emerges. Sian Reese-Williams, Sion Alun Davies and Nia Roberts are among the cast.

Kings of Country Music (C5, 9.15pm)

This programme takes viewers on an unmissable journey into the world of country music. The show kicks off with Johnny Cash performing the greatest country song of all, at least according to Rolling Stone Magazine, I Walk the Line, swiftly followed by Glen Campbell’s immortal hymn to telegraph-pole repairmen, Wichita Lineman. Over the next two hours, the show takes in every great song by a Country King you can think of – from Kenny Rogers’ The Gambler to John Denver’s Take Me Home Country Roads, and genre-defying modern classics like Old Town Road by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus.

Killing Eve (BBC1, 9.15pm)

We’ve had to pay close attention to keep up with the fourth run of this award-laden series that made a superstar of Jodie Comer, and there will be many fans hoping all the loose ends are neatly tied up in this finale. It picks up where the previous instalment left off, with Eve being chased by the murderous Gunn, and she

and Villanelle are finally reunited. Together, they head to London and the meeting of the Twelve – and they’re not alone. Carolyn, having deciphered Lars’ notebook, is also present. However, when the gathering’s venue is abruptly moved to a boat on the Thames, the scene is set for a final confrontation. Will the body count rise even further? Sandra Oh and Fiona Shaw also star.

SUNDAY

Our Changing Planet (BBC1, 7pm)

In August 2021, the BBC’s Natural History Unit announced an epic new series was coming our way. It would be filmed over the course of the next seven years while charting changes to the

environment in six key habitats around the world, including California, the Arctic and the Amazon rainforest. The tireless work of conservationists trying to preserve these places will also be followed. Now the first two instalments are ready to view, with the opener featuring Steve Backshall, Chris Packham and Ella Al-Shamahi as they embark on fact-finding missions in the Maldives, Iceland and Cambodia respectively. After the concluding episode airs, it will be a year before we visit their destinations again.

Young Sheldon (E4, 8pm)

The American coming-of-age sitcom returns for a fifth season. After sharing a few drinks at a

bar with Brenda, George Sr feels a chest pain and is admitted to Medford Community Hospital. After George is sent home, he feels guilty, and Sheldon talks to him and Missy, pointing out that he and Missy got away with some other bad behaviour without punishment. The youngster then goes to see Professor Sturgis at Davidson’s, and the conversation turns to similarities between the works of Plato and JRR Tolkien. In the second episode, Sheldon encourages Missy to question the Bible, and Mary helps Pastor Jeff search for a youth pastor.

Gentleman Jack (BBC1, 9pm)

The railway arrives in Yorkshire, and Anne Lister

is immediately obsessed with the opportunities it may bring – she wastes no time asking the local businessmen what this travel revolution could mean for Halifax. But perhaps she should be concentrating on her private life a little bit more because there’s trouble brewing. She and Ann’s efforts to charm Ms Walker’s relatives look set to come to nothing, while Ann herself doesn’t like the idea of her wife visiting a despair-laden Mariana Lawton.

Falklands: Island of Secrets

(STV, 10.15pm)

For many of us over a certain age, the Falklands bring to mind one thing – the war between Britain and Argentina which lasted for

10 weeks in 1982. But this documentary, presented by Marcel Theroux, focuses on an event which took place two years prior to that when young Royal Marine Alan Addis walked out of a bar, never to be seen again. Theroux examines evidence left behind by Addis’ mother in an attempt to figure out what happened, unearthing shocking secrets and raising questions about the islands themselves along the way.
