2. This Time with Alan Partridge
Monday 25th February at 9:30pm on BBC One
Jurassic Park! 25 years since his last presenting job on the BBC, Alan Partridge is handed a career lifeline, as temporary co-host on This Time alongside Jennie Gresham played by Susannah Fielding.
Due to the sudden illness of its regular host, John Baskell, Alan Partridge is given the chance to stand in (temporarily) as its guest presenter. A chance for the consummate broadcaster to flit effortlessly between seal pups, hand washing and cyberterrorism.
This marks his first return to live television since his 90s chat show Knowing Me, Knowing You which was cancelled after a guest was fatally shot on air. This Time is the perfect shop window for a man of Alan’s gravitas and will, or should, see him finally recognised as one of the heavyweight broadcasters of his era.

3. Pure
Wednesday 27th February at 10pm and 10:45pm on Channel 4
It's a shame that Channel 4 are rush-releasing the final two episodes of Pure but in this day and age where audiences want every episode there and then, it might not be that much of a bad thing. Also, the entire series has been available on All 4 ever since the first episode aired.
In the penultimate episode, Marnie's best friend from Scotland, Helen, is visiting London and she's worried about the sexual things that might pop into her head when she's around. Encouraged by her new therapy, Marnie tries out trusting her old friend with her secrets and is beyond pleased when she seems to understand her problem. But what will happen when Marnie brings her two worlds together at a big dinner party?
In the final episode, Marnie is shaken to the core when she realises that she's pushed Shereen too far and starts to become paranoid that everyone has turned against her now they know about her condition. As everyone gathers for Amber's birthday, Marnie becomes consumed by the idea that she isn't getting better and begins to spiral.

It was the surprise Saturday night hit for BBC One in 2018 and this weekend, two months on from the celebrity Christmas special, All Together Now is back for a second series to get you all singing along in front of your telly!

In the series opener, the singers take to the stage with their interpretations of classics by Amy Winehouse, Chaka Khan and Led Zepplin and contemporary hits by Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, Rudimental and James Morrison - leading to some of the massive scores, but also some of the lowest ever!
