I haven’t plugged my TV recommendations in a while because TV has been generally bad but for a few shows and I have now signed up for Netflix. Some days are poorer than others so I hope Netflix will be a nice filler for those days.
The popular horror drama ‘The Walking Dead returns as the impact of the war between the survivor enclaves is felt, and Carl struggles to come to terms with the fact that he has been bitten.
Saturday – ITV – Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway 7pm ***New series***
I will be watching this under protest the wife will demand it because she is a fan of Ant & Dec.

Amanda Holden becomes the first famous face to fall victim to the pair's latest round of Undercover pranks, and Stephen Mulhern is back to preside over another Ant versus Dec contest, this time featuring monster trucks. Plus, Scarlett Moffat returns to Takeaway for more extravagant challenges, and the boy’s launch the shows biggest-ever Place on the Plane giveaway
Sunday – BBC 2 – Top Gear 8pm ***New series***
I think the BBC have the right line up for Top Gear the only thing I would like to see is more input from German motor racing driver Sabine Schmitz, I hope she has not been dropped from the show. I rate this more than the Grand Tour.

Monday – BBC 1 – MasterChef 9pm ***New Series***
I like cooking shows and I don’t know why as I have one of the blandest diets in my house anyway. I rarely like anything that is cooked on these show as the contestants are out to impress so a simple pie is out of the question.
John Torode and Gregg Wallace put more amateur cooks to the test, with first seven hopefuls beginning by preparing a dish using ingredients from the MasterChef market in an hour and 10 minutes. Only four contestants will survive the first round, and are then challenged to prepare a two-course meal to secure a place in the quarterfinal.
Monday – Fox Channel – The Walking Dead 9pm ***New Series***
The popular horror drama returns as the impact of the war between the survivor enclaves is felt, and Carl struggles to come to terms with the fact that he has been bitten.
Rick’s group have lost Alexandria to Negan, his army, and his son Carl has been bitten so his time in the show looks limited. Rick and his followers at the mid-season brake were hiding in the sewers of Alexandria. The second half of the season will focus on preparing for war and gathering the supplies and numbers to take Negan down once and for all they also need a new home for the group.

Wednesday – BBC 1 – Film 2018 11:35pm ***New Series***
I remember back in time staying up late to watch Film 74 shows a long time ago it was the only way you could see film reviews for films you had to be 18 to watch like The Exorcist. I remember it being reviewed.

Friday – History Channel – Hitler’s Circle of Evil 9pm ***New Series***
This is the story of the rise and fall of the Third Reich told like the drama it really was: through the personal relationships of the movers and shakers of the most evil regime in history.
They were Hitler’s henchmen — the small gaggle of misfits, careerists and fanatical Nazis who had the ear of the Fuhrer. Those whose job it was to make his brutal vision a reality. Men like ex-chicken farmer and leader of the SS — Heinrich Himmler, Hitler’s adoring but mentally unhinged deputy — Rudolf Hess, fighter ace turned morphine addict — Herman Goering and sex-crazed propaganda chief — Josef Goebbels. As they scrabble for power, they will turn on each other in a murky atmosphere of intrigue, betrayal, and murder.
In a regime where all power derives from just one man, they strive to out-do each other in brutality, hatred of the Jews and an unequivocal commitment to the Nazi cause.
Friday – Netflix – Ghost Wars ***New Series***
Ghost Wars is set in a remote Alaskan town that has been overrun by paranormal forces. Local outcast Roman Mercer must overcome the town’s prejudices and his own personal demons if he’s to harness his repressed psychic powers and save everyone from the mass haunting that’s threatening to destroy them all.
