After last week’s celebrity opener, the new series of BAFTA-award-winning Wife Swap continues with an ex-pat episode: Marbella socialite Anna Courtenay and her husband Chris swap places with “back-to-nature” Dan and Kara Darby-Dhyan, who live on an eco-friendly boat.
How does Anna cope with getting her hands dirty tending the land, no modern conveniences and living off a mere six-Euro weekly budget? And how does Kara handle “sleeping with the enemy” as she has to endure everything she has come to despise about modern life?

Following the Bafta Award-winning success of The Choir, the sequel The Choir – Boys Don’t Sing returns to BBC Two this week.
Featuring the highs and lows of ever-patient choirmaster Gareth Malone, the series follows Gareth as he tackles, in his usual head-on way, the task of teaching choral singing in Lancaster School – a large boys’-only state school in Leicester.
Gareth has dreams of involving the whole school and leading a 100-strong, all-boys’ choir out on the stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The problem is, at Lancaster, singing in assembly was abandoned in the Seventies, and most of the boys who attend think singing is definitely best left for the girls.
