APPLE Tree Yard is coming to a (pretty shocking) end, but we’ve got plenty of new shows to celebrate – yay!
Sheridan Smith makes a return to TV after her stint on the West End, plus Graham Norton's got a whole host of A-listers on his sofa and it's a big night out for everyone at the BAFTAs. Goodbye social life, hello sofa!
MONDAY
Apple Tree Yard
This sensitive yet thrilling adaptation of Louise Doughty’s bestseller is coming to a riveting end this evening, and we’re hoping all of our burning questions will be answered.
Will Yvonne (Emily Watson) be found guilty? Is her devilishly handsome lover a fantasist?
We can’t wait to find out, and we’ve been warned there’s a satisfying sting at the end…
BBC1, 9pm
TUESDAY
The Moorside
Focusing on the fake kidnapping of nine-year-old Shannon Matthews back in 2008, this drama delves into the heart of the crime and the immense efforts by Shannon’s local community, the Moorside estate, to find her.
Starring Sheridan Smith, Sian Broke and Happy Valley’s Siobhan Finneran, this mini-series is sure to do the shocking events justice.
A must watch!
BBC1, 9pm
WEDNESDAY
MacGyver
This action-packed new series, which is a reboot of a 1980s drama by the same name, follows an operative from a secret US government organisation as he uses his extraordinary talent for problem-solving to save lives.
It sounds a bit like an American Sherlock Holmes, but this opening episode sees main man MacGyver attempt to recover a missing bio-weapon that has the ability to kill thousands of people with a single drop.
Let’s hope he succeeds or it’ll be a very short series.
Sky1, 8pm

FRIDAY
The Graham Norton Show
Our Graham’s had so many big names round for a chat that you’d think he must have interviewed everyone who’s anyone by now, but tonight sees the chat-show host welcoming Sister Act legend Whoopi Goldberg for the very first time.
The EGOT (Emmy Grammy Oscar and Tony award winner) is known for her wit and wisdom and will surely hold her own on the male-dominated couch alongside Hollywood heavyweight Denzel Washington, Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan and Keanu Reeves.

Singleton Annie is a mess, but when she learns that her lifelong best friend, Lillian, is engaged, she has no choice but to serve as the maid of honour.
Though lovelorn and almost penniless, Annie winds her way through the strange and expensive rituals associated with her job as the bride's go-to gal.
But will everything go to plan? (Obvs not).
Starring Kristen Wiig, Rose Byrne, Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy, this female-fronted romcom really is a laugh a minute.
