For viewers across the UK, this week brings Cookery School (C4, 2.05 weekdays), and we can't possibly guess what's going on there. A Farmer's Life for Me (BBC2, 7pm Tuesday) is competitive farming for couples. There are new imported runs of Hell's Kitchen (ITV2, 9pm Monday) and The Apprentice (BBC1, 12.20am Tuesday). Listeners in Scotland have Young Traditional Musician of the Year (Radio Scotland, 5pm Sunday), and viewers in Ireland might enjoy Feis and Blood (TG4, 7.15 Sunday) with some talented families. Francophones have A Table (TV5, 11.05am Saturday), a sort of French-Canadian Come Dine With Me.
Schedules subject to change.
