It is somewhat sketchy my recommendations for the upcoming week has there isn’t much coming up new on the TV but what’s there is looking interesting. Next week I am really looking forward to viewing the return of Hospital on BBC 2 Monday has the last series was eye opening and lead to a major debate around the country. Come Tuesday my fascination with programming on the subject of finding gold will be fed by one of my favourite channels Discovery Channel.
Sunday 25 Mar –Sky Sports F1 Channel – F1 Australian Grand Prix 6am ***New***
F1 is back so more of the wheel goes around and I hope Mercedes and Hamilton lost their edge or the other teams have upped their game. After a disrupted winter test, the 2018 Formula 1 season starts with a sense that everyone is heading into one big unknown. There are a number of sleeping giants with a point to prove.
Will it be Lewis Hamilton or Sebastian Vettel that takes their fifth title this year? On the other hand, could it be one of the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen or Daniel Ricciardo? Alternatively, perhaps Valtteri Bottas could spring a surprise it will be a long season.

Miner Parker Schnabel underwent the ultimate test to see if he can match his ancestors who tried to make it rich on the Klondike Gold Rush Trail. In the first series, Parker and Rick Ness attempt the Klondike trail over the Chilkoot Pass and up the Yukon River to Dawson City the heart of the 1897 Klondike Gold Rush.
In this new series, he set in Guyana in South America in search of gold. However, the pay-off may be more promising but so are the limits of his team’s mental and physical endurance, not to mention their teamwork skills.

Dakota Fred and his son Dustin are down on their luck. But the ‘Dakota Boys’ aren’t quitters. They have one last roll of the dice.
In this all-new series, the Dakota Boys put together a team of intrepid divers, mountaineers and bush mechanics to go where no miner has ever managed to explore – the depths of freezing plunge pools in white water rapids that have only recently become accessible. Nothing will stop these guys – they’ll dive in raging torrents with a six-inch suction dredge where one wrong move could have deadly consequences.

The new season finds the captains in need of redemption. Beverly resident Capt. Dave Marciano of the Hard Merchandise is out to turn things around after a disappointing season in Gloucester last year, in which he caught only five fish. Over on the Hot Tuna, Capt. TJ Ott had a dismal season in the Outer Banks. Meanwhile, Capt. Tyler McLaughlin of the Pinwheel is armed with a new boat and a skilled mate.
Last season’s champion, Capt. Dave Carraro of the FV-Tuna.com, who has claimed the top spot four times in the past six years, is confident he can repeat that success again this year.

Thursday 29 Mar – Sky 1 – In the Long Run 10pm ***New Series***
Idris Elba stalks out of his flat with a gun in his grip, intent on sorting out a problem with his neighbour. Yet while we’re used to Elba glowering in crime dramas, here he’s playing a gentle family man. It’s a silicone gun and he’s gone to fix his neighbour’s leaking bath.
This good-natured comedy is based on Elba’s recollections of growing up in 1980s Hackney, and he plays Walter, who emigrated from Sierra Leone 13 years ago and lives with his wife Agnes and son Kobna on a London estate. The family’s quiet routine is disrupted by the arrival of Walter’s charismatic, fun-loving brother Valentine.
Friday 30 Mar – BBC2 – Episodes 10pm ***New Series***
At the end of the last season actor Matt LeBlanc playing himself is down on his luck and in need of money be littles himself by taking on a job of presenting a game show. Now several months have passed and Matt's show The Box is now a runaway hit.
Unfortunately, for Matt, this means that he must have daily contact with his producer Merc Lapidus and, if anything, the animosity between the two only got worse. As Matt is the star of the show, he should have some advantage over Merc, but he makes a decision that puts him right in the palm of his producer's sweaty hand.
