Last week TV was dead… On the up side, there was a lot of football as the World Cup and Tennis in a smaller way took control of the TV. This upcoming week we have more football and Wimbledon starts Monday on the BBC the schedule will be packed with sports the complaints will be flooding in to the BBC.
I know this post is about TV shows but I would like to announce Movies 24 are having an early Christmas in July I will be a customer as I love a Christmas film any time of the year.
Saturday – Channel 4 - The Big Narstie Show 12am ***New Series***
The Grime MC and co-host Mo the Comedian present a late-night, alternative entertainment show, joined by guests Ed Sheeran, OT Fagbenle, Sherrie Silver, Keith Lemon, and Krept and Konan to discuss the week's news, TV and trends. The presenter also goes on the road to hang out with some unlikely people and inject some Big Narstie flavour into their lives, while Mo brings his razor-sharp wit and high-energy comedy to proceedings as all formalities go out of the window.
A bit late for me midnight, so catch-up for me.
Sunday – BBC 2 - The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan 9pm ***New Series***
The comedian visits countries that are rarely visited by tourists to get a sense of the local culture and find out if they deserve their reputation as he wanders a bit off the beaten track.

Accompanied by journalist Jeremy Dupain, he visits the iron market, attends voodoo ceremonies, and explores a cathedral destroyed by an earthquake.
Monday – Quest - Aussie Gold Hunters 9pm ***New Series***
In the desert looking for gold with no water for a washout but instead, you have a dustout to find the goal from their diggings. Water is too precious in the desert! Most find the precious metal with metal detectors while some like The Dirt Dogs bring in the machines.
The Dirt Dogs are determined to get the gold-tally up after last year's season. Meanwhile, the Scrappers are stuck building their machine. I am a frustrated gold miner who would just like to find gold.

Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta return for the third and final series of the crime drama.

Wednesday – History Channel – Track Night 9pm ***New Series***
Truck enthusiasts (which I am not) show their mettle as their driving ability, grit and innovation are tested. It's old versus new as five decades of trucks pull up to the line, including a 1947 Dodge Power Wagon and a 1978 Jeep CJ7. I enjoy the garage stuff the fixing and up grading of there vehicles.
They launch a surprise in the Slingshot, and medics are called in when the Green Hell claims another victim.

He discusses that childhood (“I was scared of the world”), his stabbing aged 26, his 2016 divorce after his unlikely marriage to socialite Millie Mackintosh, and his father’s suicide in 2008.
