I shall be tuning in for The Replacement! Don't think I've watched something referred to as a "psychological thriller" before but I suspect the BBC will do a really good job.

There's also Broadchurch too but here are two programmes that people may not be as aware of!
Meet the Lords is of course very topical at the moment with the Brexit bill currently being debated there and so increasing the number of constitutional questions that surround it once again. It was really interesting last week and should be the same this week! |

The Red Nose African Convoy was actually a good watch! It was a really good concept in showing you how Comic Relief money is actually helping these different places and made a change to the usual x celebrity pushing themselves to the physical limit.

Here, Liz and the team journey into the clouds above Wolf, the tallest volcano in the Galapagos, where they join a group of biologists hunting for the elusive pink iguana, which teeters on the edge of extinction. But how and why did it come to live on the top of a volcano? Back on the research vessel, Liz boards Alucia's Triton submersible to descend a kilometre into the ocean abyss in search of a new species hiding in the darkness. Liz also travels to one of the most remote locations in the Galapagos, Alcedo Volcano, in search of the largest population of giant tortoises. Plagued by drought, scientists are keen to find out how this prehistoric species has fared. |

Decline and Fall looks like the type of niche comedy that belongs on BBC Two, like that Nina comedy-drama with Helena Bonham Carter last year. But quite an interesting cast list

I saw Decline and Fall last night. It was OK, but I suspect - as was suggested by one reviewer - I would get more out of reading the book. I was surprised to see John Woodvine in it. I thought he died years ago
