Saturday – Premiere Sky Cinema – Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 8pm
From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” an all-new epic adventure. In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.
I am not the biggest fan of any of the Star Wars films I don’t understand why because it is the kind of film I tend to like.
Sunday – Channel 4 – Valkyrien 9pm
We now see more and more of dramas coming subtitled from Europe these days and if the story is right they can become very popular.
A physician desperately seeks a cure for his wife's terminal illness by working in an illegal clinic hidden in a disused Oslo underground station in this high-concept Norwegian thriller. He treats criminals, emergency patients, and others who can't or won't seek medical help in a regular hospital.
Monday – Channel 4 – Catching the Tax Dodgers 10pm
How good it is to see the other end were the rich and companies are ripping off the taxman not paying their tax. We see enough of the other end of the scale on the TV where benefit claimants are caught claiming money they should not be receiving.
This documentary goes behind the scenes at HMRC to reveal how they target people who aren't paying their tax with the dreaded tax collection agency doing their job.
Tuesday – Discovery Channel – Dive Wars
Australia 10pm
Abalone is the gold being sauced in this new programme for me and I had no idea what the hell was an Abalone until I read the programmes bio.
The find this Aussie gold involves diving deep into hostile waters, around Port Lincoln in the Southern Ocean searching for an ever-trendy scallop, beloved ingredient of many a Chef. In an ocean home to more sharks per square kilometre than anywhere else in the world and abalone divers, face the risk of death every time they dive. That doesn’t stop this group of fearless men and women who battle against their nerves to scour the ocean floor for the much-prized delicacy dubbed “abalone gold”.
Wednesday – BBC 1 – Celebrity MasterChef 8pm
I like food shows even being a fussy eater and the hit show has now returned. A group of celebrities will fight it out to be declared the winner and it is a long hard battle to the finish line.
Greg Wallace and John Torode will be hosting and they a hard to please and take no prisoners if you get it wrong in the kitchen. The first celebrity series aired in 2006 and was won by rugby star Matt Dawson last year’s winner was Alexis Conran

8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown is hosted Jimmy Carr and team captains Sean Lock and Jon Richardson or a guest captain. Basically a more adult version of the early afternoon Countdown with the normal letter and numbers.
Familiar faces from the worlds of comedy and entertainment join the team for comic innuendos, unpredictable conundrums, and laughs aplenty. Countdown's resident lexicographer Susie Dent presides over Dictionary Corner, while the queen of numbers, Rachel Riley is on hand to work the numbers.
