Graham Norton returns to the commentary box to cover all the action from the Grand Final, live from the Altice Arena in Lisbon, following Portugal's triumph last year. Salvador Sobral ended his nation's 53-year wait for a victory - or even a top-five finish - in Kiev with his song Amar pelos dois, finishing above Bulgaria and Moldova. Singer-songwriter SuRie will be flying the flag for the United Kingdom with her entry Storm, which the country is hoping will become the sixth winning song from the UK and the first since Katrina and the Waves' Love Shine a Light way back in 1997.
In this ambitious new four-part series, the Morgan’s from Tenby, the Burtons from Manchester and the McNulty family from Glasgow are taken out of their comfort zones and pushed to their limits with early starts, late finishes and dirty jobs in all weather conditions on Gareth Wyn Jones’s family hill farm.
The families will have their regular daily farm chores and will live on site in a special tented village. At the same time, they will be given a set of challenges, designed to show how our food gets from gate to plate. Each week experts with Gareth and Kate Humble will choosing one exceptional individual to receive a shepherd’s crook for their good work will judge their efforts.

As the comedy returns to celebrate the royal event, Harry and Meghan are excited about their impending marriage. However, before their big day, they must take Charles to America to meet Meghan's mum, Doria. It will be in very bad taste but should be fun. With Harry Enfield, Richard Goulding and Kathryn Drysdale.
This is, allegedly, a police drama with a difference. Instead of being all about the procedural, Bulletproof promises to be an action-packed homage to US buddy cop movies. There’s strait-laced Pike (Ashley Walters) and unpredictable best friend and colleague Bishop (Noel Clarke) who together must “bend the rules”, confront “ghosts from the past” and take on other cop show clichés.
Crime drama following cops Bishop and Pike as they chase down hardened criminals in London's East End. In the first episode, one of the duo's informants is killed in front of them, beginning a desperate operation that lands one of their own in hospital.
It is back and will make the wife very happy indeed and I must admit I enjoy it. In this opening episode Maria, a 52-year-old woman who suffers from MS, is brought in with suspected sepsis. Her husband Duncan talks about their life together and supported each other through her diagnosis. Meanwhile, Eve, who's 83, is in A&E with her husband John after she fell down the stairs into her basement, suffering an open ankle fracture. Elsewhere, six-year-old Grace has come to hospital with her dad Ben after getting a piece of tissue stuck inside her ear.
In this first episode, comedians Josh Widdicombe and Suzi Ruffell join Richardson to discuss matters of the home. “Home is where the heart is,” he explains. “It’s also where you’re most likely to be burgled or involved in a serious accident.” There are good moments to be had in this Room 101-esque format, namely Richardson’s inimitable forensic analysis of how to load a dishwasher correctly. We’ve all been doing it wrong.
Fred Sirieix presents this new show, which follows people who work in the food business as they seek major investment to launch their own restaurants. They have their concepts and branding - all they need now is the financial backing. First up is Epoch, comprising Manchester chef Ruth and sommelier Emily, who have an idea to pair British wines with the best seasonal produce. Meanwhile, Scotsman Ewen Hutchinson hopes to take his award-winning street food to the next level by opening his own establishment.
Return of the sci-fi drama. One year after the dawn of consciousness, Max, Mia and Flash are living in a designated area known as the Railyard as they try to broker peace with the human world, while Laura fights for basic rights for Synths - but a job offer from an unexpected source could give her a platform to bring her message to a larger audience. Meanwhile, Niska is living with Astrid and passing herself off as a human and Mattie is reeling from the guilt of releasing the consciousness code upon the world.
Two tech billionaires locked in a race to send manned missions to Mars. Sound familiar? This French space series may be au courant in its subject matter, but its low-budget, character-driven treatment harks back to 1970s sci-fi.
We follow the crew of the Ulysses, funded by Swiss billionaire William Meyer, as they approach the Red Planet after ten months in space. They’re a bit of a ragtag bunch for such a long and high-stakes mission, with an accompanying psychologist who’s a last-minute replacement.
It’s a bit contrived, but when things start to go wrong and there’s an intriguing discovery, the claustrophobic setting and dysfunctional crew ratchet up the tension.
Comedy show that takes clips of the week's events and revoices them with help from impressionists including Alistair McGowan and Ronni Ancona.
The show will be finalised close to transmission, but a taster tape included an interview in Vince Cable’s hilariously scruffy kitchen (he’s miffed he hasn’t won an award for it), as well as a mischievously re-imagined encounter between Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump, with their hands glued together. YouTube fans may be reminded of Bad Lipreading videos, but that’s no bad thing.
Deep in the frigid mountains of Norway, brave rescue workers help stranded people stuck in the snow and clear the roads in some of the most dangerous areas. I love this kind of TV and add a bit of danger I am hooked.
Thord risks his life to keep the roads open during a winter storm, while Jo Roger and his son are dealing with enormous amounts of snow further north.
Frankie Boyle is back for more passionate sideswipes at the world and the people who run it. It’s filmed close to broadcast, and the format sees him run various outrageous, swear statements past his panel – with Sara Pascoe, Katherine Ryan and data journalist Mona Chalabi returning to the fray from the last series.
Their roles tend to involve chipping in extra sprinkles of wit to Boyle’s unremitting tsunami of contempt and sarcasm. But would you dare disagree with him? And there’s the fact that his savage wordplay does, at times, border on genius.
