This week is a HUGE week for telly. Broadchurch, Catastrophe, Benidorm and Top Gear make their much-anticipated return and there are some new shows to enjoy too!
Here are the 7 shows you have to watch this week...
1. Broadchurch
Monday 27th February at 9pm on ITV
Broadchurch is returning for its third and final series, but will it live up to expectations?
Olivia Colman and David Tennant reprise their roles as DS Ellie Miller and DI Alec Hardy, this time investigating a serious sexual assault in the Dorset community.
Jodie Whittaker and Andrew Buchan return to play Beth and Mark Latimer, along with Arthur Darvill as local vicar Paul Coates, Carolyn Pickles as newspaper editor Maggie Radcliffe and Adam Wilson as Ellie’s son Tom.
Julie Hesmondhalgh joins the cast as well as Lenny Henry and Georgina Campbell along with Sarah Parish, Charlie Higson and Mark Bazeley.
The first series saw the murder of 11-year-old Danny Latimer rock the small Dorset town of Broadchurch, as DI Alec Hardy – still haunted by the collapse of a previous murder case he worked on – was put in charge of the case, much to the chagrin of local officer DS Ellie Miller.
In series two, the town faced the trauma of a trial when after pleading not guilty, the murderer found another lawyer to fight his case, a lawyer so strong, that the Latimers were terrified they may not win.

3. The Replacement
Tuesday 28th February at 9pm on BBC One
This week sees the start of BBC One’s stunning new three-part drama The Replacement, starring the magnificent Vicky McClure and Morven Christie.
This three-part psychological thriller set in Glasgow follows the paranoia of a woman who sees her identity being dismantled and can't work out whether the cause is another woman or her own baby.
Ellen (Morven Christie) gets unexpectedly pregnant just after landing a big contract for her architects' practice. She hopes to be away for the shortest time and hires someone to cover the gap.
Paula (Vicky McClure) is the same age as Ellen but already has a ten year old daughter. She made the opposite life choice, took a big chunk of her career out to dedicate herself full time to her child.
As Paula shadows Ellen for the last months of her pregnancy, she at first seems the perfect hire - enthusiastic, personable, super-competent. But Ellen soon begins to worry Paula has another agenda. Paula refuses to believe Ellen when she says she plans to return in a couple of months.
She's confident Ellen will change her mind when she falls in love with her baby. Ellen thinks that maybe Paula doesn't want her back. Ever.

7. Top Gear
Sunday 5th March at 8pm on BBC Two
Can a Chris Evans free Top Gear make the post-Clarkson series finally work? With Matt LeBlanc now at the helm, the answer the BBC will be hoping for is yes.
The series begins with the astonishing, ultra-exclusive Ferrari FXX K, tested to the max by Chris Harris at the Daytona circuit in Florida. Matt, Chris and Rory then race across Kazakhstan in three high-mileage cars: a Mercedes saloon, a Volvo estate and a London taxi, all of which have done at least 480,000 miles, the equivalent distance of going to the moon and back.
Actor James McAvoy guest stars in the studio and on the famous Top Gear test track.
