The long weekend calls and with it, there are plenty of options on the small screen for us to wile away the bonus days off. The best thing is, there\u2019s something for all the family with the likes of Kung Fu Panda and Harry Potter<\/a> airing across the weekend, as well as the network premiere of Barbie<\/a> and Netflix\u2019s new The Beautiful Game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the classic film lovers, there\u2019s almost too many to choose from. The Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Ben-Hur are just some of the movies airing across the weekend and are practically begging for some serious R&R time (with easter eggs in hand, of course).<\/p>\n

As well as blockbuster hits to get lost in, there are lots of TV shows to get acquainted with, either for catching up or a good ol\u2019 binge-watch. Renegade Nell<\/a>, the first TV venture from Sally Wainwright<\/a> after Happy Valley, comes to Disney Plus<\/a> for a fantasy adventure fit for all ages.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the mood for a mystery drama, Traces season 2<\/a> comes to BBC One this weekend starring Molly Windsor, Laura Fraser, Jennifer Spence and Martin Compston. A series of bombings plagues Dundee and the three women must utilise their forensic expertise to figure out what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not the only captivating series coming to our screens this week, with Steven Knight\u2019s This Town<\/a> premiering this Easter Sunday and ITV\u2019s Passenger<\/a> continuing to air. If you\u2019re more in the mood for some light-hearted entertainment, Saturday is the time for the anticipated Gladiators<\/a> final \u2013 but who will be the Gladiators champion 2024?<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Pilgrimage<\/a> returns for its sixth season and seven celebrity pilgrims \u2013 including Michaela Strachan<\/a> and Spencer Matthews<\/a> \u2013 take a personal journey along a route that celebrates early Celtic Christian saints.<\/p>\n

Sir David Attenborough also helms a new documentary series exploring how Mammals have conquered the Earth, while the 20th season of Masterchef<\/a> gets underway as Greg Wallace and John Torode once again see who has what it takes to knock their socks off in the culinary stakes.<\/p>\n

Like we said, lots to choose from! If you\u2019re looking for an option on the streamers, be sure to check out our roundups of best TV picks on Prime Video<\/a>, Disney Plus<\/a>, Netflix<\/a> and Sky<\/a>, as well as the best films to stream on Prime Video<\/a> and Netflix<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n
