So what’s in store for May? A wildlife biggie, cracking comedy, a Gok Wan marathon and celebrity chat and cook-offs. That’s what!
Mammoth beast fest
Dominating the airwaves in the coming month is Planet Earth Live – the ultimate global wildlife drama. Spanning six countries and five continents, and promising to capture key events and spectacular footage from within the animal kingdom, it is the most ambitious wildlife project in BBC (and possibly TV) history. Prepare to be amazed, and keep abreast of all the action here.
Wall-to-wall laughs
Leading the laughs in May is the next instalment of the award-winning sitcom Peep Show. And with Mark’s marriage and meeting the in-laws on the cards, the boys’ neurosis and interior monologues scale new comedy heights of utter ridiculousness.
Be sure to sit down for May’s stand-up season too, with gags and tomfoolery from some of Britain’s finest comic talent, including the sardonic Jo Brand, the surreal Bill Bailey and the madder than madcap Lee Evans.
And for all of you that like your laughs with a dash of intellect in the mix, the continuing new series of QI will prove to be the perfect TV fix.
Look-good TV
Style guru Gok Wan is back, armed enough with tips, tricks and on-trend advice to ship-shape your wardrobe and make fashion faux pas a thing a past.
In addition to back-to-back episodes of all three series of Gok’s Fashion Fix being beamed to your box, tour the UK with TV’s makeover man as he goes on the move to sprinkle his style dust across the length and breadth of his homeland in Gok Wan’s Fashion Roadshow.
Star-studded entertainment
May doesn’t run short on celebrities either.
Make a date with Celebrity MasterChef to see which showbiz personality can cut the culinary mustard in the kitchen. Soufflés will rise, desserts will be devoured, but as we all know, there can only be one winner.
And there’s also a brand new round of chat with such famous folk as heartthrob Johnny Depp, the queen of pop Madonna and comic geniuses Robin Williams and Joan Rivers on The Graham Norton Show.
So, switch on and make May a proper magnificent month!
