We’ve all been there – sat in front of the television, flicking through channels, getting increasingly frustrated – there’s so much on, but nothing to watch. TV critics Kelly-Anne Taylor and Caroline Frost have you covered. Each Friday, they serve up short, sharp television recommendations to mark your cards for the week ahead. They’ll tell you what to watch – and what to avoid. They watch it all, so you don’t have to.

You’ll find out about the latest series dropping that week, what to binge and what television show will become the next watercooler moment.
