PICK OF THE WEEK

SATURDAY

In with a Shout (STV, 6pm)

It’s only about five minutes since Joel Dommett last popped up on the box, but he’s back already, fronting a new game show the bosses at ITV1 are describing as “high-octane”. Apparently, one of the key elements is the ability to do something we’ve probably all done in disgust at some point shout at a TV screen. In this instance, however, the ‘skill’ could win one of the two competing families a cool £20,000. To be in with a chance, the relatives must find the answers to questions hidden within a montage of moving images - and then shout them out as quickly as they can. Every time they’re successful, they move up the money ladder - but if they don’t bank the cash as they go, they could lose the lot.

Easter from King’s (BBC2, 6pm)

This year, the traditional broadcast from the Chapel at King’s College, Cambridge, is introduced by the Dean, the Rev Dr Stephen Cherry. It will retell the story of Jesus’s death and resurrection via Bible readings, interspersed with music performed by the choir, directed by Daniel Hyde. Listen out for The Angel Rolled the Stone Away, Victim Paschali, It Was on Holy Wednesday, Agnus Dei, The Lamentation, Laudate Dominum and Panis Angelicus. The congregation will also join in with O Sacred Head and Praise to the Holiest.

Fortress Britain with Alice Roberts (C4, 7.30pm)

For some of us, the Cold War is still rather too close for comfort. It was a difficult and often frightening time, so it should come as no surprise to learn that the authorities made plans to deal with the aftermath of a nuclear war. In the penultimate episode, Professor Alice Roberts, Professor Danielle George and Dr Onyeka Nubia explore some of them, including a subterranean network designed to house those responsible for keeping the nation running. There are also insights into the upper-class spies who passed secrets to the Soviets.

Starstruck (STV, 8.30pm)

We’ve seen lots of tough competition over the last seven weeks, and now the heat winners are about to battle it out for the £50,000 prize, each taking to the stage on their own in the guise of their idol to sing one of their hits. Superstar panellists Adam Lambert, Shania Twain, Beverley Knight and Jason Manford are on hand to offer words of support and congratulate each finalist, before the voting audience pick the winner. Plus, there is a very special performance from host Olly Murs alongside the four judges.

Magpie Murders (BBC1, 9.25pm)

Last week’s opening episode was pretty enthralling stuff, and we can expect more of the same this time around as Susan continues her search for the missing chapter of Alan Conway’s book - it’s a journey that takes her to Woodbridge, but will she find any answers? We also get to see Conway himself as he uses his own house as the model for Pye Hall. Lesley Manville is wonderful in the lead role, ably supported by Conleth Hill as the unpopular author and Tim McMullan as his fictional detective, Atticus Pund.

SUNDAY

Wild Isles (BBC1, 7pm)

Bleak, cold, lifeless places, where only the brave or foolish would dare to explore. Those words describe Britain’s seas, right? Not according to David Attenborough. In the final episode of the series, he takes us into the surprisingly colourful underwater world off our shores. Among the amazing sights to look out for are thousands of grey seals congregating before giving birth on a Norfolk beach, spider crabs embarking on a mass migration and the awe-inspiring

Corryvreckan whirlpool in Scotland.

For the Love of Paul O’Grady (STV, 8pm)

The nation was shocked when it awoke to the news that the beloved broadcaster had passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on March 28. Now, the channel that produced his biggest recent TV success, For the Love of Dogs (which starts a new run on Thursday), pays tribute to O’Grady with a heartfelt programme showcasing some of his most memorable small screen moments while looking back at his career. It all began, of course, as drag queen Lily Savage, who helped turn the star into the national treasure we came to know and love.

Tenebrae: Bach to MacMillan (BBC4, 8pm)

Award-winning vocal ensemble Tenebrae perform a special programme for Easter from St John’s Smith Square, London, contrasting Bach’s iconic motets with the sacred music of Sir James MacMillan. Bach’s motets are pillars of the choral repertoire, requiring minute attention to detail as well as a full emotional range. Tenebrae performs the three most well known of the set, culminating in the joyful Singet dem Herrn. Like Bach, MacMillan has written much of his music for the church, and 2021, he was asked to compose a work for Tenebrae to perform. The result is I Saw Eternity, a moving setting of words by Henry Vaughan.

Antiques Roadshow (BBC1, 8pm)

Fiona Bruce and the team visit Brodie Castle in the county of Moray in the north of Scotland. Ronnie Archer Morgan discovers a treasured cane with hidden secrets, while Duncan Campbell inspects an engraved silver salver awarded to a local engineer for his successful design of a reaping machine the forerunner of the modern combined harvester. Lisa Lloyd takes us on a walk through the history of fashion courtesy of a pair of rare 18th-century silk shoes and a Victorian lady’s dress, and Geoffrey Munn
