Another quiet week for new stuff in the TV schedule but there is some new programming later this month and in May. I enjoyed the return of the Fear of the Walking Dead this week and I got the crossover from The Walking Dead right it was Morgan and for someone sick of killing he was back on form.
Next week’s highlight is the return of Westworld on Sky Atlantic. It feels like forever since the first season, which I was unsure about, but by the third episode, I was enthralled, still not as good as the film though.
Saturday - Sky Sports Main Event – Cardiff City v Nottingham Forest 7:30pm ***New***
More Cardiff City on Sky … since the New Year it seems the Welshman have been monopolizing Sky Sports with the number of games televised this season. Depending on tonights fixture with Millwall playing Fulham the Cardiff fans will have everything crossable crossed for a Millwall victory making the Cardiff game even more important fixture if they win.
Sunday – BBC 1 - The Woman in White 9pm ***New Series***
Adaptation of Wilkie Collins' novel, starring Ben Hardy as a teacher who has a startling encounter on Hampstead Heath with a woman who has escaped from a lunatic asylum. He later takes up a position as a drawing master in Cumbria, but as he falls in love with one of his pupils, he discovers a connection between her family and the strange woman's troubled past. With Charles Dance and Jessie Buckley.
Monday - Sky Atlantic – Westworld 9pm ***New Series***
The sci-fi drama inspired by Michael Crichton's 1973 film about a futuristic theme park populated by artificial beings returns for a second series after a long wait.
Series 2 opens with a flashback. Head of programming Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) confronts rancher’s-daughter robot Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood): “I’m frightened of what you might become, what path you might take.” And that’s where we are now, with human guests fleeing the newly enlightened AIs. It’ll be interesting to see whether Westworld returns to more philosophical musings (the musical ironies have survived, with Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer accompanying scenes of slaughter), but for now Dolores and bordello madam Maeve (Thandie Newton) have worked it all out – and it’s terrifying.
Monday – Channel 5 – Fergie Vs Wenger 10pm ***New***
A look into the feud between former Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, whose rivalry dominated the landscape of English football from the mid-1990s. Many big football names contribute: Paul Scholes, Andrew Cole, Martin Keown, John Motson, and Steve McLaren... But they’re all kept safely away from each other. Because despite the passage of time, it’s clear that a few bruises still haven’t healed. “I didn’t like any of their players. Because it was United,” says Lee Dixon.
Tuesday – BBC 1 – The Split 9pm ***New Series***
The title could say it all something will be splitting in this BBC drama. Starring Nicola Walker as Hannah Stern a leading divorce lawyer who finds business taking a personal turn when she leaves the family firm for a rival outfit. Unexpectedly she finally comes face to face with her dad who walked out on the family 30 years ago.
It is not just work that could split her marriage is in trouble as an old flame re-enters her life.
Thursday – Netflix – Happy 8am ***New Series***
The show follows a former police officer called Nick Sax, who chooses to become a hitman. Sax goes from job to job, taking down his hits while knocking back a bottle and living an aimless life.
But all of that changes one day when he nearly dies while on the job and he wakes up to find he can now interact with a blue unicorn called Happy. The flying unicorn reveals that he’s the imaginary friend of schoolgirl Hailey Hansen (Bryce Lorenzo), who happens to be the daughter of Sax’s ex-wife Amanda Hansen (Medina Senghore).
All is far from well when Happy enlists Sax to help save Hailey, who’s been kidnapped by Very Bad Santa (Joseph D. Reitman). It soon becomes a race against time for Sax to find Hailey before she befalls a fate worse than death at the hands of the sadistic maniac.
