Jamie Oliver goes seasonal with Jamie Cooks Spring, CrimeCall returns for its monthly update, there's Ireland's Young Filmmaker of the Year Awards 2024, and Miriam: Death of a Reality Star . . .
Pick of the Day
Jamie Cooks Spring, 8.00pm, Channel 4
Jamie Oliver goes through the year, celebrating seasonal ingredients and what can be made with them as they come into season.
He goes on a delicious journey through the kitchen calendar, highlighting weird, wonderful and wonky produce with inspiring recipes for when they're at their best.
He begins by picking some rhubarb from the garden and making a lip-smacking sauce for marinated pork belly, pan-fried until crispy in his hot and sour rhubarb crispy pork noodles, a special dish for any springtime occasion.
He picks some new season spinach for a luxurious spinach and goat's cheese risotto, before cooking up a scruffy spring tart using leeks.
Jamie also demonstrates how to divide shop-bought basil into lots of individual plants to last through the year and celebrates the vibrantly coloured stalks and leaves of chard in a crowd-pleasing cheesy spring cannelloni.

His evidence: two top-secret documents acquired over 40 years of research.
Using these documents as his guide, Darrell and his team of divers and researchers are setting out to find these lost U-Boats and answer questions decades in the making.

Kung Fu Panda 4, Sky Store Premiere
Jack Black, Awkwafina, Viola Davis, Dustin Hoffman, James Hong, Bryan Cranston, Ian McShane and Ke Huy Quan star in director Mike Mitchell’s sequel.
After three death-defying adventures defeating world-class villains with his unmatched courage and mad martial arts skills, Po, the Dragon Warrior (Jack Black), is called upon to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace.
That poses a couple of obvious problems.
First, Po knows as much about spiritual leadership as he does about the paleo diet, and second, he needs to quickly find and train a new Dragon Warrior before he can assume his new lofty position.
Even worse, there's been a recent sighting of a wicked, powerful sorceress, Chameleon (Viola Davis), a tiny lizard who can shapeshift into any creature, large or small.
