Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer return with more property ideas.

They meet two couples taking advantage of a First-Time Buyer scheme to help them onto the property ladder but their £450,000 budgets won't take them very far in Essex.

Kirstie's with locals Sarah and Charlie who need a home to bring them together after five years of living with their respective parents.

They've started to lose their nerve after eight months of unsuccessful house-hunting and it quickly becomes clear that their best chance of success is to take on a project.

Phil's couple Toby and Simone have high expectations of what their home should be after renting in London, but their budget doesn't match up to the house, or postcode, to which they're accustomed.

Phil is back at 10pm for a new six-part series, New Zealand's Best Homes with Phil Spencer, where he embarks on an intimate tour of some of New Zealand's most stunning and desirable homes.

In the opening episode, he tours a country barn and a home that literally hangs over a cliff.

Faye Shortt present highlights of the event in which 60 teams of eco-conscious students from across the country showcase their creativity by transforming recycled materials into high-fashion designs.

The teams are competing for one of 10 coveted spots in the Junk Kouture world final. Award-winning content creator India Sasha chats to the contestants backstage.

Naíonra, 9.30pm, TG4

The start of the Naíonra year brings a mix of nerves and tears, affecting not only young children but their parents too.

In the space of a few short months, the youngsters grow in confidence, learn new skills, new words and make new friends.

They become part of a unique new social group and hear new words as part of daily life.

All the important routines are now well established from putting on coats to eating lunch. It all happens through play, song and fun.

Sonnaz Nooranvary meets broadcaster Sally Magnusson who is hoping she can restore the original Mastermind chair which she inherited from her late father Magnus Magnusson who used to host the quiz show.

Pete Woods is tasked with repairing an out of tune and worn looking glockenspiel that was played as part of the Batley Variety Club house band and Chris Shaw rejuvenates a children's book from 1943.

Woodworker Will Kirk repairs a wooden toucan that has been in Peter and Laura's family for generations.

The Lady in the Van, 10.20pm, BBC Four

This excellent comedy-drama stars the recently deceased Maggie Smith, Alex Jennings, Roger Allam and Jim Broadbent.

It’s just another reminder of her great talent.

It’s the true story of writer Alan Bennett's friendship with an eccentric homeless woman he befriended in the 1970s before allowing her to park her dilapidated Bedford van outside his Camden home, where she ended up staying for 15 years.

New to Stream

Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare, Netflix

After an online friendship blossoms into what seems like true love, Kirat finds herself turning detective to uncover the truth behind her mysterious fiancé, Bobby.

Inspired by the hit podcast, Sweet Bobby is the story of a fairytale romance gone horribly wrong.

Shrinking, Apple TV+

This dark comedy returns for a second run and follows a grieving therapist (played by Jason Segel) who starts to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks.

Goof oul' Indiana Jones himself, Harrison Ford, plays fellow therapist Dr Paul Rhodes.

In the closing scene of season one, Grace (Heidi Gardner) pushed her abusive boyfriend off a cliff. So that might need a bit of resolution to kick-start this 12-episode run.

Starring comedian and social media head Tony Cantwell, this brand-new comedy follows the personal and professional adventures of a thirty-something aspiring comedian.

He's juggling a day job he loathes, a tumultuous love life, and a mounting drive to make a name for himself in comedy. And he's on journey toward an ADHD diagnosis.

Written by Tony Cantwell and Hannah Mamalis, and directed by Fergal Costello, Good Boy is inspired by Cantwell’s real-life experiences.

Since learning of his ADHD diagnosis last year, Tony Cantwell has embraced a new outlook on life, which served as the creative springboard for the series.
