Here's another TV show that's going to keep my other half on the sofa.
Leading international interior designer Arlene McIntyre (below) works with different sized homes.
In the first episode, she comes to the aid of the Smyth family in the leafy Dublin suburb of Clontarf.
They want to transform their unused `dump room" into a functional and stylish home office, and their living room with its acorn patterned wallpaper into a relaxing adult space.
Arlene uses creative solutions to transform the rooms into luxurious, stylish and useable spaces.
Who Do You Think You Are? 9.00pm, BBC One
The 18th season of this look at family trees opens with comedian Josh Widdicombe (below), who embarks on a roller-coaster ride through his extraordinary family history.
After a less than promising start with an ancestor who was cut out of the family fortune, Josh is delighted to discover a courtier with very personal access to England’s King Charles I.
From there it's back to Elizabethan and Tudor nobility and a royal love triangle.
Oooh, he’s posh.
Question Team, 10.00pm, Dave
Richard Ayoade invites three comedians to join his Question Team, and in this panel show it's the players who set the questions. The first guests are Bob Mortimer, Thanyia Moore and Kerry Godliman.
