A pretty poor week again with TV companies holding programming back for the big autumn reveal in a week or so. This upcoming week the BBC have broken a bit early with “Bodyguard” which the BBC are hoping will be a Sunday night blockbuster.
In addition, Bake off is back but I still find it funny being on Channel 4 but I rather have overcome the loss of Mary and Mel and Sue.
Sunday – BBC1 – Bodyguard 9pm (New Series)
A specialist protection officer is assigned to guard an ambitious home secretary who may be the target of a terror plot following her support of a controversial new surveillance bill. The bodyguard's experiences in the army have left him harbouring deep-seated resentments - which may make him a threat to the politician he is supposed to protect. Thriller, with Keeley Hawes and Richard Madden.

Finally, the bakers are tasked to make a 3D biscuit portrait in their first Showstopper.
Tuesday – Pick – Day 5 10pm (New Series)
Apocalyptic drama starring Jesse C Boyd one of my favourite genre and on a plus side I have never hear of the show, seen a trailer or even read a review but for the basic out line below. So I have just about a virgin going into the show very unusual for yours truly. After a two-day drug binge, addict Jake ventures out into the streets, unaware that most of the world has died in their beds.
Wednesday – BBC1 – Shop well for Less 8pm (New Series)
Alex Jones comes home to Wales along Steph McGovern and head to Caerphilly to meet the Ingram family, who are struggling to cope financially after having two sets of twins in less than two years.

Thursday – BBC4 - The No.5 War 9pm (New)
The story, both thrilling and dark, of the world's most famous perfume. In 1921, Coco Chanel's revolutionary perfume concept was as audacious as her outlandish designer clothing. At its launch, it was an instant hit. From the 1920s to the 1940s, the Number 5 brand was at the centre of a war between the celebrated designer and her entrepreneurial business partners, the Wertheimer Brothers.

Thursday – Sky One – A League of their Own 9pm (New Series)
It’s time to bring on a sub because, after six years in which he tried synchronised swimming, Mexican wrestling and had paintballs fired at him by Billie Piper, Jack Whitehall has left the sports-based quiz show. Taking his place on the Blue Team is Romesh Ranganathan, who joins the show’s regulars: host James Corden and captains Jamie Redknapp and Freddie Flintoff. Ranganathan has said he’s looking forward to “adding some eye candy to the show”.
