Hey Everyone! It has come to that time again in which I gather together the top five picks of the TV week, which you simply cannot miss. There is something for the whole family to enjoy this week, so get those remote controls at the ready.

This week, get ready to glitter, laugh and fall into a history lesson of epic proportions...

All That Glitters: Britain’s Next Jewellery Star, BBC One, 8pm, Tuesday 13th April: Joining the best in show ideas, this glittering new competition will become the gem in the bunch. With contestants fighting to win the trophy for best jewellery maker, this is going to make our Tuesday’s very exciting.

The Great British Sewing Bee, BBC One, 9pm, Wednesday 14th April: Following on from the best jewellery creator, the BBC are welcoming back this great competition programme this week. Get those creative juices flowing with inspiration from the competition that will have you transforming your home, wardrobe and maybe even your workplace with fresh designs.

Frank of Ireland, Channel 4, 10pm, Thursday 15th April: Fresh from emerald island, Domhnall and Brian Gleeson have made this buddy six-part series at just the right time. Reflecting similar tropes as Derry Girls, Father Ted and The Mighty Boosh, it is mad but oh so good, as the brothers play best friends trying to cope with the world and what it throws at them.

Leonardo, Amazon Prime Video, 8am, Friday 16th April: Aidan Turner returns to historial heights with this look back at the early years of Leonardo Da Vinci. From romance to art, there is a topic within it that will interest us all. Plus, with Turner starring as the main man, you can be sure it is going to be good.

Big Shot, Disney Plus, 8am, Friday 16th April: Starring John Lomas, this new family friendly series follows a very judgemental basketball coach, who is fired from his high-end job, leading to a big change in his career. Teaching at an all girls private school. Fun, empowering and something everyone can enjoy, this is going to be the new weekly streaming fix for all.

Let us know what you have been watching and what you are most looking forward to catching over the course of the week, via our social media pages, as we would love to know!
