There's one series coming to an end this week, but there's two more great shows making their entrance.
As well as continuing shows, there's a whole host of brilliant films on for you to chill out with this weekend, too.
Friday 20th May
Love, Nina - 9.30pm on BBC1 (New Series)
This sweet family drama (written by Nick Hornby, of About A Boy-fame and inspired by a book) stars Faye Marsay as Nina, who in 1982 moves from Leicester to North London to become a live-in nanny for a posh family (er, she turns up wearing no shoes or socks). She’s met by frosty mum George (Helena Bonham Carter) and some hyper kids; who decide to interview her themselves. Their first question? “Are you a virgin?” Yep, Nina might have her hands full with these two.
The Secret - 9pm on ITV (Last in Series)
Anyone still to catch this particularly chilling James Nesbitt drama – ITV Player now! It culminates in creepy Colin having to confess to everything (including feeling up his sedated dental patients, urgh). Poor Hazel is dragged back into it, and the most alarming thing of all is this is based on a true story!
Legally Blonde - 10.40pm on ITV
Unbelievably, this fabulous film is now 15 years old (!) but it’s still a joy, starring Reese Witherspoon as the pink-loving Elle Woods. Elle wants nothing more than to be Mrs Warner Huntington III – but there is one thing from stopping her potential suitor from proposing: she is too blonde. Determined to prove him wrong, Elle puts her thinking cap on and manages (somehow) to get into Harvard. What would you know, she ends up being intellectually brilliant – putting out of joint the noses of all the other scholars who don’t love make-up, glitter and small handbag-sized dogs.
The Hand That Rocks The Cradle - 11.50pm on BBC1
Yes it’s on a bit late but this ’92 (we feel OLD!) flick is so great it deserves a record button being pressed! Rebecca De Mornay is Peyton - the nutty nanny nursing a secret heartache - who manages to get a job looking after the Bartel family’s new baby. Her plan is to tear the mother’s life apart, seduce her husband, and eventually murder the woman she blames for ruining her life. Still brilliant!
He’s Just Not That Into You - 9pm on E4
The flick is based on a self-help book (inspired by a line in Sex And The City), and boasts a starry cast including Jen Aniston, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Connolly and Bradley Cooper (phew!). Nine best pals and lovers in Baltimore deal with the challenges of misreading human behaviour, and all their lives interconnect, ensuring hilarious and heartbreaking storylines.
Saturday 21st May
Britain’s Got Talent - 7.30pm on ITV (Live Shows)
Six weeks ago, the Britain’s Got Talent doors opened to a fresh new batch of impressionists, dog lovers, buddies who can sing, dangerous hobby lovers and those who maybe should try knocking on The X Factor’s door. Well, only one audition show remains (on Saturday) and after that (from Monday-Thursday) it’s time for things to get real as the live shows start. Yes indeed, all this pre-recorded stuff happened weeks ago – it’s now time for Simon, Amanda, David and Alesha to give up their evenings and (together with us at home) vote through this year’s finalists, whoop!
Casualty - 8.45pm on BBC1
There’s lots of drama when a factory goes up in flames, and there’s never a dull moment on the wards as well when Dylan is confronted with his dad – and Connie gets a touch of the green-eyed-monster over new paramedic Elle. Is this woman ever happy?
The Hunger Games - 9pm on Channel 4
This is fabulous, and is the flick that firmly put the lovely Jennifer Lawrence on the A-list Hollywood stars map. She goes by the peculiar name of Katniss Everdeen, a fiery chick who takes her sister’s place in the ‘Hunger Games’; a televised (terrifying) fight where teens from the twelve “Districts of Panem” are chosen at random to compete. The trouble is, some of the contestants have trained like, their whole lives for this. Can Kat and (male eye-candy of the piece) Peeta cut the mustard, and basically stay alive?
Run, Fatboy Run - 10.15pm on ITV
.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Simon Pegg stars in this top flick as Dennis – a chap who realises five years too late that he made a BIG mistake leaving preggers girlfriend Libby (the beautiful Thandie Newton) at the alter. Now he wants her back, but unfortunately she now has a handsome, super fit (smug) banker-type on her arm, who’s limbering up for a charity marathon. Out of shape Dennis decides to enter the race too, with only three weeks to prepare…
Sunday 22nd May
Wallander - 9pm on BBC1 (New Series)
The opening scenes of this brand new Wallander may well suggest the well-to-do young lady poking about in a draughty barn in the Cape Town wilderness (where a chap is casually chopping up bloodied meat and waving a cleaver around) may never have seen a horror film. Prepare for an on-the-edge of your seat installment of the fourth (and final) series of the Brit-adapted Danish crime series, starring nice Kenneth Branagh as Inspector Kurt Wallander.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians – 9pm on E!
Shopping for (organic) treats with Kourtney (gluten-free, dairy-free pizza – yum!), plus Kim’s ongoing “bursting” bosoms issues and the ongoing war against the now pregnant (OMG) Blac Chyna. Welcome to another action-packed Kardashians episode. “Where is a ‘flips hair emoji?’ asks a frustrated Khloe. Where indeed?
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel – 8pm on Channel 4
Oldies Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy decide they’re not quite ready for a pipe and slippers life, instead heading to the exotic-sounding India to live out their retirement in style. Lured by adverts for the newly restored Marigold Hotel, they imagine magical surroundings – but arrive to find it’s not quite what they had in mind. The excellent cast is also made up of the likes of Celia Imrie, Liza Tarbuck, Penelope Wilton and Dev Patel.
Pudsey the Dog: The Movie - 4.05pm on Channel 5
This 2014 film stars Pudsey the Dog – one half of the dancing dog act, Ashleigh and Pudsey (winners 2012), and it’s voiced by David Walliams. It follows the pooch on a heartwarming adventure.
