Trying arrived quietly on Apple+ TV in May 2020, and clearly needed a lot more fanfare to announce its arrival, because it's flown under the radar. It's clearly doing something right, as a fifth season has been given the go-ahead. But while Trying has a loyal fanbase, I want it to be bigger - this is definitely the best comedy you're not watching. As the name implies, call centre operator Nikki (Esther Smith) and teacher Jason (Rafe Spall) are trying for a baby with no luck.

If, like me, you're a bit bored of Netflix at the moment, I'll save you trawling through lists of what to watch instead - just put on Cheaters on BBC iPlayer. I found this incredible short-form comedy on a list of iPlayer hidden gems, and became obsessed with it within the first few seconds. Cheaters was written and created by Oliver Lyttelton, and stars Susan Wokoma as Fola, Joshua McGuire as Josh, Callie Cooke as Esther, and Jack Fox as Zack.

It’s a rare thing for a TV show to leap out from the screen, grab you by the throat, and demand your full attention within minutes. But Rivals did exactly that when it lit up Disney+ with its sizzling presence in October last year. And now, with a second season already in production, it’s clear this unapologetically glamorous, scandalous drama is here to stay. I was first drawn in by the glitzy, star-studded cast – a dazzling lineup that promised 80s debauchery and delivered it in spades.

Marrying a stranger you've only just met is no easy task, and it's no wonder a lot of the unions on MAFS Australia don't work out. Luckily for the participants, the weddings aren't legally binding, leaving them free to walk away from their marriages with no legal hassle - but usually a lot of drama. It's also not surprising that although their own match doesn't work out on the show, those taking part find a spark with somebody else taking part.

What a week for Call The Midwife fans, with not one, but two hugely exciting announcements made about the show. That's right, after a few months of speculation, the BBC have announced that both a Call The Midwife prequel and a film have been given the green light. In the midst of sadness that Megan Cusack has left the show as Nancy, and concern that Zephryn Taitte's Cyril could be following, this is the excellent pick-me-up we needed.
