Here’s everything you’ll want to watch this week
-Monday 13th February-
Scarlett's Driving School, 8.30pm, BBC One
After failing her driving test 13 times, Scarlett Moffatt has finally passed. While she was learning, she was helping others to do the same. In the first episode of her new show we join 25-year-old Jess for her lessons; she has been learning for eight years and now some professional instructors will no longer get in a car with her. Her step-dad Richard is her last chance to get her licence as she tackles the five-day crash course at Scarlett’s Driving School.

Perfect Match, Netflix
We had to pick a dating show for Valentine’s Day, right? This new one to rival Love Island comes out on the 14th and couples have to prove their compatibility to gain the power to make or break other matches. It’s far more strategic than any other dating show we’ve seen, very in keeping for Netflix. Players include those from Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle and The Circle, plus other Netflix series.
-Wednesday 15th February-
Secret Life of the Forest, 8pm, Channel 5
The new series of Secret Life of the Forest follows a growing family of beavers in Dalby, Cropton and Langdale forests in North Yorkshire, all working hard to improve the landscape and reduce the risk of flooding. Following the success of the first series of Channel 5’s Secret Life of the Forest, this second series has been expanded, covering three different forests in North Yorkshire. Filmed over the summer of 2022, the eight-part series (narrated by actor Robert Lindsay) will focus on the diverse wildlife and nature in the three forests and the Forestry England staff and volunteers who care for the landscape and its inhabitants.

Clarkson's Farm, Prime Video
Love him or loathe him, you’re invited back to Diddly Squat Farm as series two of Jeremy Clarkson’s show has arrived on Prime Video. This new series promises to offer a deeper insight into another year on the farm as Jeremy plans to diversify, expanding his (very) limited agricultural knowledge.
