Our picks of what to watch during the week ahead.

THE CURFEW
Monday, 5
Six-part crime thriller set in a society where all men live under The Women’s Safety act, meaning they are bound by a strict curfew from 7pm to 7am every night, with their movements tracked 24 hours a day by an ankle tag. After a woman is brutally murdered during curfew hours and left on the steps of the Women’s Safety Centre, veteran police officer Pamela Green believes that a man is responsible.
THE TONY BLAIR STORY
Tuesday, Channel 4
Featuring an in-depth interview with Tony Blair himself, his story is also told through those who knew him best – friends, allies, and opponents.

BEING GORDON RAMSAY
Wednesday, Netflix
Being Gordon Ramsay is a new documentary series following one of the world’s most famous chefs in the lead-up to his biggest restaurant ventures to date: the opening of five culinary experiences in one of London’s tallest buildings, 22 Bishopsgate.
BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT
Saturday, ITV1
Performers from every corner of the UK and all around the world will be taking to the stage in the hope of not just impressing the judges, but also the voting public in a bid to win the life-changing cash prize of £250,000 and a sought-after slot at the world-famous Royal Variety Performance. The judges and hosts hold an extra-special power – the golden buzzer – which can give their favourite acts an instant ticket to the live semi-finals.
THE WALSH SISTERS
Saturday, BBC One
The Walsh Sisters features the chaotic, dysfunctional but deeply loveable Walsh family of five sisters, a devout mother and a bemused father. Set in their Dublin hometown, The Walsh Sisters follows the lives of Anna (Louisa Harland), Rachel (Caroline Menton), Maggie (Stefanie Preissner), Claire (Danille Galligan) and Helen (Máiréad Tyers) as they navigate the peaks and troughs of their 20s and 30s.
This is a sisterhood full of in-jokes, hand-me-down resentments and more than a few old wounds. But their DNA, history and shared love of power ballads keep the Walsh sisters together in the face of heartbreak, grief, addiction and parenthood.
THE BAFTA FILM AWARDS
Sunday, BBC One
The BAFTA Film Awards are back, bringing the magic of cinema straight to your home. Host Alan Cumming takes to the stage for a night of celebration with the stars of this year's biggest films, including Sinners, Hamnet, One Battle After Another, I Swear and more.
WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE
Sunday, ITV1

THE LADY
Sunday, ITV1
The Lady charts the rise and fall of former royal dresser Jane Andrews, whose rags to riches fairy tale fell apart when she was convicted of murder.
Once a young working-class girl from Grimsby, Jane answered an advertisement in the magazine The Lady and to the astonishment of her friends and family, became the Duchess of York’s dresser at Buckingham Palace.
Moving amongst the highest social circles in Britain, Jane managed to secure a place in the upper-classes, only to lose her job with the Duchess after nine years of service. Still reeling from her fall from grace, Jane went on to meet charismatic businessman Thomas Cressman and fell deeply in love.
