But if you’re still not convinced, tune into this, the second series of the fly-on-the-wheel show that goes behind the scenes of the Tour, following the riders and teams as they put their bodies through hell in the hope of claiming the coveted yellow jersey.

This new season charts the 2023 race's highs and lows, and literal ups and downs, and features interviews with cycling king Tadej Pogačar and Britain’s own Mark Cavendish.

The adventures of Japanese superhero Ultraman have wowed kids old and young for nearly 60 years, in comics, TV series, movies and video games.

The latest version, a spectacular and eye-popping animation, updates the legend in a spectacular, funny and endearing fashion.

When Tokyo is attacked by ferocious, massive monsters—or kaiju—baseball star Ken Sato reluctantly agrees to become Ultraman, a giant masked superhero big and strong enough to take on even the most terrifying adversaries.

However, things don’t go entirely to plan, and Ken mistakenly allows a baby kaiju to imprint on him, leaving him responsible for raising this destructive, unpredictable, but undeniably cute creature.

Mysteries Of The Terracotta Warriors

DOCUMENTARY available from Wednesday

It remains one of the most spectacular and important archaeological discoveries of all time. In 1974, in China’s Shaanxi Province, archaeologists uncovered a remarkable army of 8,000 terracotta soldiers, hand-crafted more than 2,000 years ago to guard the mausoleum of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang.

It was a discovery that delighted and astounded in equal measure.

Now, 50 years later, this documentary not only tells the story of that excavation—shining a light on the countless other artefacts that were found alongside the warriors—but it also explores Qin’s history and the importance of his incredible, treasure-filled tomb.

King Of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch

REALITY available from Wednesday

Collector Ken Goldin has made millions from buying and selling rare and valuable sports memorabilia.

So, the first season of this show, following Ken and the team at his New Jersey auction house, made for intriguing viewing—both for fans of sports and collecting of all kinds.

Now he’s back for a second series, promising more rare finds and exciting memorabilia—including a dress worn by Kate Winslet in Titanic and a copy of DC’s Action Comic #1, which featured Superman's first appearance.

There’s the usual sporting treasures too, linked to some American icons past and present.

Presumed Innocent

DRAMA available from Friday

Turning much-loved movies into TV series can be a risky business, as last year’s eight-part reboot of the classic thriller Fatal Attraction found out with some mixed reviews.

That hasn’t stopped Jake Gyllenhaal from producing and starring in this eight-part adaptation of Scott Turow’s bestselling novel Presumed Innocent, which was also turned into a blockbusting movie starring Harrison Ford back in 1990.

And if the tense and intriguing first episode is anything to go by, it was a good call. Jake plays Rusty Sabich, Chicago’s chief deputy prosecutor, who’s given the job of investigating the murder of Carolyn (Renate Reinsve), a member of his own department.

However, when some shocking evidence emerges, Jake finds himself fighting an unexpected battle to prove his own innocence.

Featuring some truly unpleasant adversaries - Peter Sarsgaard is particularly appalling as Rusty’s jealous colleague Tommy - plus the brilliant Ruth Negga as Rusty’s wife, it grabs you from the off.

The Boys

DRAMA available from Thursday

Crammed with violence, jaw-dropping gross-out moments and some of the most unlikeable characters on TV, this viciously funny superhero drama isn’t for everyone, that’s for sure.

But anyone who does love it - and there are a lot of people who do - will have been counting down the days until the new fourth series, which explodes onto our screens this week.

As we rejoin the action, appalling Supe Homelander (Antony Starr) is cementing his power, especially with Victoria Neuman getting closer to the Oval Office.

Meanwhile, Butcher (Karl Urban) only has months to live, having taken too much V24, the drug that temporarily gives someone superpowers.

The eight-episode season kicks off with a full-throttle triple bill, with the remaining five episodes landing weekly after that.

Criminal Minds: Evolution

DRAMA Available from Friday

The recently revived—and well-received—continuation of this US drama is back with more twisted crime capers.

The FBI’s elite team of profilers, the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), are still led by FBI Supervisory Special Agent David Rossi (Joe Mantegna).

And while the BAU are kept busy solving cases of the week, this time, they also need to negotiate with serial killer Elias Voit (Zach Gilford) in order to crack a deadly conspiracy.

Yet the cost of working with the monster known as 'Sicarius' may prove to be too high.

It's quality US police procedural fare with a very dark tone.

Under The Bridge

DRAMA available from Wednesday

Acclaimed author Rebecca Godfreys book has been created into a TV adaptation

Based on an award-winning book by late author Rebecca Godfrey, this compelling and shocking true-crime drama promises to be riveting.

In 1997, 14-year-old Reena Virk (Vritika Gupta) went to join friends at a party and never returned home. When the grim truth of her fate eventually emerged, the case shocked Canada and prompted national soul-searching.

Under The Bridge> delves into the world of teenage girls and is told through the eyes of Godfrey (Riley Keough) and a local police officer (Lily Gladstone).

After a mid-season break, the third run of this colourful and exciting show about the adventures of the young Peter Parker - aka Spider-Man - returns.

As always, Peter, along with his pals Miles and Gwen, will be getting into all manner of web-slinging scrapes, taking on dastardly villains such as Doc Ock, Green Goblin, and Zola.

Along the way, he’s supported by his beloved Aunt May and helped by the likes of fellow superheroes Black Panther, Iron Man, Wasp and Hulk. The fun begins with Spidey taking on Zola and the Hydrabots, who are intent on spoiling the children’s art show.

Some people are old enough to remember when the only way to own music was to physically go into a shop and buy it – RIP, Woolworths. As a result, major music artists could earn fortunes from record sales alone.

The late 90s and early Noughties changed everything, however, with file-sharing technology making the landscape completely unrecognisable from what went before.

How Music Got Free is the fascinating inside story of that technology-driven disruption when millions of young people were given the tools to participate in artistic theft.


Transformers: EarthSpark

KIDS available from Saturday

Telling the action-packed tale of a new generation of robots, EarthSpark is about the first Earthborn Transformers, aka the Terrans.

The group must unite with the Autobots and humans to survive, and in season two, there's everything to fight for.

The Emberstone has shattered, and it’s a race against the Decepticons to find all the pieces.

Limitless power will be at the fingertips of whoever holds the artefact, so it's a good job the Terrans are levelling up!
