HighlightsYour SongSunday, Channel 4, 9pm<\/p>\n
Everyone has a particular song that resonates with their lives and tells their story in a succinct three-minute chunk. So, what\u2019s your song \u2013 So Lonely or Happy Together? In this new series by the creators of Bake Off and The Piano, and presented by Alison Hammond, ordinary Brits get a chance to let out the talent they\u2019ve been hiding under a bushel and sing the one song that could have been written for them. Instead of singing in the shower, they\u2019ll be performing in front of an audience on a pop-up stage with a live band, which will be visiting towns and cities in the UK throughout the series. It\u2019s a singing competition, but it\u2019ll be more about heart and soul than technique and prowess, and the singers will have help from mentors Paloma Faith and Sam Ryder. In the first episode, the team are in Liverpool, where they meet a teenager with a beautiful smile and equally beautiful voice, a lift operator who has dealt with life\u2019s ups and down, and a kidney transplant recipient who has everyone singing along in the rain.<\/p>\n
Gordon Ramsay\u2019s Secret ServiceTuesday & Wednesday, Channel 4, 10pm<\/p>\n
Sweary chef Gordon Ramsay<\/a> usually can be seen shamelessly berating kitchen staff while others look on in terror, but in this new series, the kitchen nightmare is about to get worse, as Ramsay uses espionage to expose badly run restaurants and force them to change the way they operate. With help from an insider, Ramsay and his team will infiltrate restaurant kitchens and install sophisticated surveillance equipment so he can spy on the day-to-day operations and get to the bottom of why they\u2019re struggling to stay in business. His first mission is Parthenon, a family-run Greek restaurant in Washington. He discovers its decor, equipment and hygiene are badly in need of an upgrade, and the only solution is for the owner\u2019s son to take over the business. In episode two, Ramsay spies on Caffe Boa, an Italian bistro, owned by married couple Patrick and Jenny, and finds the couple\u2019s toxic working relationship is threatening to sink the business \u2013 and their marriage. <\/p>\n Grayson Perry Has Seen the FutureWednesday, Channel 4, 9pm Many of us are wringing our hands with worry about how AI might affect our lives, but the artist Grayson Perry has decided to grab the bull by the horns and find out what the future holds for us as artificial intelligence becomes an integral part of our world. He heads straight to the heart of AI development, Silicon Valley in California, to find out how the tech revolution \u2013 particularly AI \u2013 is racing forward at breakneck speed to transform our lives forever. He meets some of the big players in the tech world, along with some whizz-kid young tech bros and sises, some ordinary folk who are both excited and alarmed about the direction the tech is taking humanity, and a creepily friendly chatbot. <\/p>\n Big MoodThursday, Channel 4, 10pm Nicola Coughlan<\/a> and Lydia West are back for a second series of the dark comedy revolving around friendship and mental health, and featuring the sort of un-Bridgerton-like behaviour that would require truckloads of smelling-salts to be administered. Coughlan is Maggie, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder; West is Eddie, Maggie\u2019s best friend, who is dealing with her own mental health issues. It\u2019s a year after their huge falling-out, and Maggie is recovering from lithium poisoning and trying to maintain a modicum of stability. Eddie, meanwhile, has moved to LA and found a new bestie \u2013 a Californian spiritual healer named Whitney (Hannah Onslow). But the former friends\u2019 lives are about to collide again when they are asked to be bridesmaids at a mutual friend\u2019s wedding. Both are determined to stay out of each other\u2019s orbit, but the gravitational pull proves too much, and soon chaos theory reigns at the reception. In episode two of this double-bill series opener, Maggie and Eddie take an odyssey across London\u2019s gay scene in search of tickets for their favourite drag act, Barbie & Skipper. <\/p>\n Ireland in MusicThursday, RT\u00c92, 11.05pm<\/p>\n This is the fifth series of the music show that brings together some of our best musicians in some of Ireland\u2019s most beautiful settings, and lets the magic happen.

Kittser will share stories and songs with Chaila, all to the backdrop of some stunning aerial photography, in this showcase of sights and sounds. <\/p>\n StreamingAt Home with the FurysFrom Sunday, April 12th, Netflix<\/p>\n Think you\u2019re ready to go another few rounds with heavyweight champion Tyson Fury<\/a> and his lively family? The second series of the reality show finds Fury still trying to get his head around retirement and enjoy life in Morecambe Bay with wife, Paris, their seven kids and Tyson\u2019s dad, John. But even though he tries out all sorts of ventures and adventures to keep the boredom at bay, including a road trip to Monaco and a flutter at owning a racehorse, Fury is still pining for the boxing ring, and is torn between the thrill of the fight and the chill of home life. While he decides whether he\u2019s properly retired or not, Paris is keeping very busy, looking for new business opportunities, looking after a big family, preparing for their daughter\u2019s extravagant 16th-birthday party and planning to renew their wedding vows.<\/p>\n Margo\u2019s Got Money TroublesFrom Wednesday, April 15th, Apple TV<\/p>\n Margo (Elle Fanning<\/a>) is a bright college student and aspiring writer whose dreams are put on hold when she gets pregnant. But life as a single mom and college dropout is not easy, and she\u2019s desperate to find work to support herself and her new baby. \u201cI\u2019ll even dig ditches,\u201d she tells one prospective employer. \u201cLooks like you\u2019ve dug one already,\u201d is the terse response. But when an opportunity comes up to do some \u201cwork\u201d on the internet, involving scant clothing and a \u201csexy alien\u201d persona, she thinks maybe she\u2019ll give it a go. After all, her mom (Michelle Pfeiffer) was a Hooters waitress and her dad (Nick Offerman) was a pro wrestler, so maybe she has inherited the showbiz gene. But can Margo tap into all her unfulfilled creativity and get out of camgirl hell? We\u2019re with her all the way in this star-studded comedy drama series based on the bestselling novel by Rufi Thorpe.<\/p>\n Beef From Thursday, April 16th, Netflix<\/p>\n The first series<\/a> of this comedy drama starred Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as two strangers whose lives collided (literally), throwing them into a doom spiral of spite and revenge. Everyone likes a good beef, so no surprise that the series created by Lee Sung Jin proved a hit. Now it\u2019s back for a second season, with an entirely new cast and a fresh beef, this one involving a young couple (Charles Melton<\/a> and Cailee Spaeny<\/a>), their boss (Oscar Isaac<\/a>) and his wife (Carey Mulligan<\/a>). What starts as a \u201cdisagreement\u201d between the boss and his wife soon turns into a four-way battle for power and status in the setting of an exclusive country club owned by a Korean billionaire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pick of the weekYoung Forever: The Death of Ageing?Monday, RT\u00c9 One, 9.35pm We\u2019ve become obsessed with staying young,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":579557,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[25102,88,146825,207522,34248,92,193436,95892],"class_list":{"0":"post-579556","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-elle-fanning","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-gordon-ramsay","11":"tag-kathryn-thomas","12":"tag-nicola-coughlan","13":"tag-tv","14":"tag-tv-guide","15":"tag-tyson-fury"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=579556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579556\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/579557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=579556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=579556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=579556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Artist](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/URMSX7T4YBH5ZE5RNWEZC3WVQM.jpg\")
