What's Hot This Week - Monday 20th Feb to Sunday 26th Feb

Inside Number 9

When:- Tuesday 21st Feb at 10pm
Where:- BBC2

How do you follow The League of Gentleman and Psychoville? With Inside No. 9 of course, the Pemberton and Shearsmith penned anthology series which returns for it's third series this week. Following an extremely simple premise (what goes on behind closed doors) the show has proved extremely popular with each standalone episode often twisting and turning towards some often truly shocking and surprising twists. With a forth series already commissioned, this truly brilliant show shows no sign of ending any time soon.

The Brit Awards 2017

When:- Wednesday 22nd Feb at 7:30pm
Where:- ITV

Taking place at Londons O2 Arena, this years ceremony is set to be hosted by Dermot O'Leary and Emma Willis after Michael Buble had to pull out. Both are seasoned presenters of two of the biggest music shows in the world in The X Factor and The Voice respectively so with them at the helm it should be a good show. Also, with the likes of Ed , Robbie Williams, Little Mix, Emile Sande, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, The 1975 and grime sensation Skepta performing, this years show is one NOT to be missed.

Person of Interest

When:- Wednesday 22nd Feb at 9 pm
Where:- 5USA

Created by Jonathon Nolan (brother of Christopher Nolan who also executive produces the the show), Person of Interest is sadly entering its fifth and final season having been cancelled by CBS. The show follows a relatively simple premise. A machine can predict terrorist acts/crimes before they have been committed. However, with Nolan at the helm the story is twisted into an exploration of artificial intelligence which has won the show pretty major critical acclaim. If you've seen the action packed trailer then you'll know that the show seems determined to go out on a high!

The 89th Academy Awards

When:- Sunday 26th Feb at 1:30 am
Where:- Sky Movies Oscars

Okay, so La La Land is pretty much expecting to sweep the board at this years Oscars but there's still plenty of reason to watch. Although it will be Jimmy Kimmels first shot at hosting the ceremony, he still has a wealth of experience at hosting high profile events on his CV having done the Emmy's, ESPY Awards and the American Music Awards in the past. Although La La Land is quite rightly expected to walk away with a truck load of awards, it has still been a good year for films with Arrival, Hacksaw Ridge, Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea all expected to challenge the musical for the coveted best picture award.

New on Netflix

What:- American Crime Story - The People V O. J. Simpson

A spin off from American Horror Story, and executive produced by anthology series master Ryan Murphy, American Crime Story has already been given a four season run with each season exploring a true American Crime. First up, it's the turn of the crime that shook the 90's, when O. J. Simpson stood trial for the murder of his ex-wife and her lover and was then acquitted. Staring some true Hollywood stars in the form of Cuba Gooding Jr, John Travolta, Sarah Paulson and David Schwimmer, this first season has won pretty major acclaim receiving 22 Prime-time Emmy Award nominations. Finally arriving on Netflix, this outstanding show is definitely worthy of a weekend binge watch.
