International

A new run of The Voice of Holland Français (TF1, Sat). They've got a fifth coach, Nolwenn Leroy, who you might remember as a past winner of Star Academy. On M6, a new edition of Top Chef (Wed). Michel Sarran is the host, with Hélène Darroze, Paul Pairet, Glenn Viel, Philippe Etchebest offering their wisdom. Do close friends get to call this show TC? À condition: que ce soit dans la dignité.

Deutsche! A new run of Let's Dance (RTL, Fri), their version of Strictly Come Dancing With the Stars. Bastian Bielendorfer is the comedian who'll lighten up the first few weeks, Riccardo Basile and Sarah Mangione cover the eye candy, and former X Factor host Janin Ullmann appears favourite to win.

We were excited to read about Die Stapelshow (Pro7, Sat), searching for the best Stapeler! Brilliant! Our trusty Bosstitch will pin anything to the wall with those little pieces of metal. Sadly, it's a show about stacking things high. Without using staplers. Last in the series of Das große Promibacken (Sat.1, Wed), celebrity tournament series of Bake Off.

Nederlands! Where would we be without Per Seconde Wijzer (NPO2 and bvn.tv, weeknights)? Less wise. Wie is de Mol continues (NPO1 and bvn.tv, Sat). Volg je me nog? is a new "humorous" "panel show" on RTL: can the teams recognise their online friends in the studio? Which famous person shared a clip?
