Hollywood star Gemma Arterton leads the cast of West End musical Made in Dagenham as they reprise a song from the show and the stars of Sunny Afternoon – a stage show telling the story of 1960s band the Kinks – bring things to a rousing climax along with many other performances, such as one from Cheryl. Last year a record £31,124,896 was raised and, as always, we’re going to try and beat it. Watch it tonight from 7.30pm on BBC One.
Atlantis: Back for its second season, Atlantis returns to our TV screens this weekend. The fantasy-drama has changed quite a bit in the year since the death of King Minos. His daughter, Ariadne, is now on the throne and at war with her former stepmother in a battle for power. With the kingdom on the brink of disaster, the queen asks for help from warrior, Jason, with his time to fulfil his destiny finally arriving. The likes of Jack Donnelly star in the show which will air this Saturday on BBC One at 8:30pm.
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!: A fresh batch of famous faces wave goodbye to their lives of luxury and set up camp in the Australian wilderness battling bugs and Bushtucker Trials, rations and rain, heat and hunger, all in the name of entertainment. There is the likes of Corrie favourite Craig Charles (Lloyd Mullaney), TOWIE’s Gemma Collins, model and singer Nadia Forde, ‘Allo ‘Allo! star Vicki Michelle, and rapper Tinchy Stryder all entering the camp.

Watch it this Monday on Lifetime at 10pm.
Some Girls: Back for its third season the astoundingly frank and funny show about 4 college girls is set carry on its successful streak. We’re all desperate to find out how Viva will cope with the new baby in the family and if she’ll ever get back with Rocky. Though of course, as always, this is all set in the background of the girls arguing and trying to survive their last term. Tune in this Monday at 10pm on BBC Three.
Live At the Apollo: The stand-up comedy show returns next week, with the host in the form of Sarah Millican who brings her own brand of humour to the audience.
