With Autumn fast approaching I am really looking forward to some new shows
along with some new seasons of my favourite TV Shows
Here are some of the ones myself and hubby are looking forward to this Autumn/Winter
Victoria~ITV Sunday 28th August 9pm
Jenna Coleman of Emmerdale, Doctor Who and Me Before You, fame has finally got her own starring role in this ITV show. in this eight part drama it follows Queen Victoria's early years and her marriage to Prince Albert played by Tom Hughes.
I think this will be a racier version of the movie Young Victoria with Emily Blunt.
It's been labelled as ITV's new Downton Abbey
as it's taken Downton Abbey's Autumn prime time Sunday night slot but it will only have one week alone in that slot as BBC have there own period drama which they hope will fill the gap Downton has left!

Poldark~BBC1 Sunday 4th September 9pm
For those who don't want to watch the life of Queen Victoria
BBC have there own fight for Downton's viewers with series two of Poldark!
I have tough choice of what to watch and what to record! I think for me Poldark wins!
Clondalkin (my hometown) native Aidan Turner is back as Ross Poldark for this ten part second season. It follows on from last season after the loss of Ross and Demelza's child, Poldark's mining company has gone bankrupt and he has been arrested! Fun stuff all round so!

The Great British Bake Off~BBC1 Wednesday 24th August 8pm
The Bake off is back, who doesn't like a bit of the fab four! Mel, Sue, Paul and Mary make the strange foursome that just seem to make this show!
I can wait to met the bakers and see all the lovely cakes, breads and goodies they bake
but also if there is going to be some drama over, soggy bottoms, non risers and melted ice cream!!
Ready Steady Bake!!!

There are other revivals and prequels on the BBC this Autumn due to the celebration of
60 years of the sitcom, but I am looking forward to revisiting Gary Sparrow in Goodnight Sweetheart the most. I have fond memories of watching this at tea time with my parents and brother when I was younger. The last episode aired in 1999 and it is a bit bitter sweet that the special will be airing on what would of been my brother's 30th birthday!
I am looking forward to see what happened to Gary as the last episode saw him stay in the 1940's with his WW11 wife Phoebe as the time portal closed and he never got to see his modern wife Yvonne again!
It looks like all the cast is on board and set to be in this special so I am looking forward to seeing what happened to Gary and co!
This funny Irish man and his Mammy are back for a third season
It looks like this time he is not only trying to kill his own Mammy but also other people's Mammy's!
Not alot known about this series yet but if it's anything like that last two it will be just as funny!
Nancy is a legend who else would sky dive, wrestle crocs, scuba dive, shoot guns, fly a plane, and jet ski plus a whole lot more at the age of 72!!
This is one the hubby is really waiting for he is a big fan of the cult 70's movie
so he is really excited for this TV drama version. This Sc-fi Western series tells the story of a futuristic theme park called Westworld. The cast is quite amazing with the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Thandie Newton, James Marsden, Evan Rachel Wood, and Ben Barnes
I am expecting really good things from this, think Total Recall with out the cheese!!
A lot of fans where very annoyed with the season six finale cliffhanger
While I wasn't too upset with it, personally I have seen cracks in the show
since season five.
I felt that there was drop in the script writing and story arcs with endless cliffhangers
which have made the show a bit of a caricature of what once actually made it great.
That said I am hoping with the adding of Jeffery Dean Morgan as Negan to the show
along with different characters and storylines this will added to the dept and quality of the season
Now if they just stop with the cliffhangers fan can stop going ape shit crazy!
Not much is known about this next season of this comic book based show
I really enjoy this show and out of all the comic book shows we watch this is my favourite
It's darker than then others but also quite cheesy which I like!
Last season ended with the crazy dangerous patients of Indian Hill being released on Gotham
so we can expect strange villains such as The Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy, and The Tweed Brothers
There is once again no air date for here in Ireland but we will be watching online!
Legends of Tomorrow~SKY 1 October No Set Date
The Flash~SKY 1 October No Set Date
These three DC Comic book show all air in the states in October but the UK/Ireland
are normally a couple of weeks behind. The only DC show we don't watch is Supergirl we tried a few episodes but weren't fans at all so that was quickly dropped.
Arrow follows on after Laurel's death and the attack on Star City from Dhark after a very weak second half of season four here's hoping the storylines pick up and the flash backs are dropped!
Legends first season was quite hit or miss, some episodes where great fresh and new but most where rehashed, dull and boring. Season two has a whole host of new characters which will bring new storylines and action. Here's hoping the budget was upped for more sets as all the different time zones and countries started to looked the same in season one!
The Flash had a good strong second season with cameos, plot twists and fun villains but with the now time jump and different Earths the writers can go and do what they want with these characters.
We already know that Wally West becomes another version of The Flash and that there are some really exciting villains coming our way! I can't wait!
Netflix have big plans for this show already planing another six seasons
and with huge budget! The Crown is a drama based around Queen Elizabeth II England's longest ever reigning monarch. Claire Foy will play Queen Elizabeth and Matt Smith as Prince Philip
The first season will focus on the younger days of the Queen and her wedding to Prince Philip with plans in other seasons to follow her right up to present day.
I can't not mention The Gilmore Girls who I grew up with, who I watched every Sunday from it's first episode 2000 until it's last episode in 2007. Sunday afternoon's for me where a cup of tea and Gilmore Girls an hour out of life to see what was happening in Stars Hollow, with mother and daughter Lorelai and Rory. People say Irish women talk fast well I think these women give Irish women a run for there money in the dialogue stakes! I love this show and I have so many memories of crying with Rory about her love life and the huge crush I had on troubled Jess!!
I can't wait to see what has been happening with the Gilmore Girls and the people at Stars Hollow
So that's the shows we are looking forward to how about you?
