My Mum, Your Dad

Monday

ITV1, 9.00pm

My Mum, Your Dad is like a lovechild between Big Brother and Love Island.

Real parents with real concerns about getting back into the dating game are thrown into a Sussex mansion. Luckily for them they won’t be entirely in control of their own destinies, as their children are watching in a nearby ‘bunker’ influencing who their parents date and connect with.

In a bigger stroke of luck, this year the parents have been allowed a ‘snug’, which has an off switch to turn off transmission to their kids.

Married At First Sight UK

Monday

E4, 9.00pm

For single people giving up on ‘normal’ dating, the solution is simple: give full control to dating experts Paul C. Brunson, Melanie Schilling, and Charlene Douglas, and marry whoever they place at the end of the aisle.

The programme doesn’t end at ‘I do’ – we get to watch them struggle over a period of many weeks, as they argue, fight and (hopefully) fall in love.

They have the chance to leave the experiment at ‘commitment ceremonies’ (more like twisted group therapy sessions). But both sides of the partnership have to accept it’s over to bow out, otherwise they have to persevere.

Out Of Order

Monday

Comedy Central, 9.00pm

Comedians Katherine Ryan and Judi Love join Rosie Jones on the panel show where judging people off first impressions is encouraged.

‘Rosie’s regulars’ are a collection of non-celebs who have bravely offered themselves up to be rated on their appearance and general vibe. Example questions include “who earns the most,” or “who has four nipples?” It’s never the answer you think.

Watch our Q&A with Jones and Series Producer Hannah Duncombe.

Agatha All Along

Wednesday

Disney+

A continuation of WandaVision and the Marvel cinematic universe.

To catch you up to speed, all seemed to be well and good in a sitcom style universe where Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda and Paul Bettany’s Vision lived happily with their children.

The happy illusion was shattered, however, when it transpired their nosey neighbour Agnes was actually the witch Agatha Harkness. She had put a hex on the neighbourhood, which was heartbreakingly driven by Wanda’s grief over losing Vision in the film prior.

After Wanda discovered Agatha was trying to steal her ‘chaos magic’, she stripped her of everything. Agatha All Along features the witch – alongside her faithful fanboy ‘teen’ (played by Heartstopper’s Joe Locke) – rebuilding her star-studded coven with witches played by the likes of Patti LuPone and Aubrey Plaza.

All Creatures Great and Small: Series Five

Thursday

Channel 5, 9.00pm

All Creatures Great and Small is a wholesome look at the lives of Yorkshire vets in the 1940s. In series five the Darrowby veterinary clinic – and the fanbase – is still feeling the loss of those away at war.

Although James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph, The Most Reluctant Convert) is working at the RAF base in Abingdon, Tristan Farnon (Callum Woodhouse, The Durrells) will be returning after serving in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps.

Apples Never Fall

Saturday

BBC One, 9.25pm

Annette Bening (Nyad) and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) star as Joy and Stan Delaney: picture-perfect parents ready to retire, after decades of successful tennis coaching and child rearing.

Just as they enter the third acts of their lives, Joy goes missing, and her adult children return home to investigate. Alison Brie (Community), Jake Lacy (Girls), and newcomers Essie Randles and Conor Merrigan Turner play the aforementioned children who, whilst digging through mysterious family secrets, discover their parents’ life was not all as they made it seem. The cost of having their mother back appears to be discovering they never really knew her.
