Today marks the start of that odd week between Christmas and New Year. If like me, you never really know what to do with yourself. However, this year, I have made a list, and checked it twice, featuring all the latest TV and film releases we can enjoy. So, grab those festive leftovers and get stuck into these…

Jon and Lucy’s Christmas Sleepover, 9pm, Channel 4, Monday 27th December: With the festivities meaning that many relatives have been staying over, this sleepover is one that will bring a lot of laughs. Looking back at the past year, with celebrity friends, there is no stopping this couple bringing 2021 to an epic close.

Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett, 8am, Disney Plus UK, Wednesday 29th December: After waiting so long for a new Star Wars feature, we have got a big one to see and binge into the new year. Telling the story of Bobs Fett, a huge fan favourite, the new series ties into The Mandelorian perfectly.

Britain’s Most Expensive Houses, 9pm, Channel 4, Wednesday 29th December: 2022 could be the year that some of you are planning to move homes. Yet, it doesn’t stop us all from dreaming about some of those incredibly huge and interesting ones we spot. Taking us inside some of the most expensive in the UK, this new series will be giving us the keys to the most luxurious of homes.

Stay Close, 8am, Netflix, Friday 31st December: With dramas aplenty about to arrive to keep us entertained during the winter months, Netflix are joining in the action. Made up of an epic cast, there hasn’t been much revealed about this series yet, but it looks very interesting.

Jool’s Annual Hootenanny, 11:25pm, BBC Two, Friday 31st December: We did it! 2021 may have been an odd and very fast year to say the least, but we did it! And to celebrate, we all deserve to go out with a huge party thanks to the legendary Jools Holland!

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!
