Our choice of programmes to watch in the week ahead.

ON DEMAND

The Crew (Netflix, from Monday)

Comedy and cars come together in this new series. Kevin James stars as a crew chief for the fictional NASCAR-based Bobby Spencer Racing Team. It's a happy, settled and blokey place to be – until the owner steps down and hands the reins over to his daughter Catherine. She has big plans to modernise the team, and James feels it's his responsibility to put her off in a bid to protect himself and his colleagues. However, Catherine isn't one to give up without a fight, so she brings in a bunch of millennials who rely on tech rather than instinct - cue lots of arguments between the old school workers and the Moneyball-inspired newcomers. Jillian Mueller, Freddie Stroma and Sarah Stiles are among the supporting cast.

I Care A Lot (Amazon Prime, from Friday)

Rosamund Pike plays Marla Grayson, who outwardly appears to be a kind and caring soul who puts the needs of others before her own. However, she's really a high-class con artist who persuades judges to appoint her as the legal guardian of lonely pensioners before using her position to steal their money. However, she could be in for a rude awakening when one of her charges turns out to have links to the mob. Peter Dinklage and Dianne Wiest are among the supporting cast.

SATURDAY

The Masked Singer: The Final (ITV, 7pm)

When this wacky singing contest first came to our shores, it divided viewers over whether it was any good – but everyone was in agreement that it was one of the weirdest formats in quite some time. This second run has proved even more of a success, thanks in no small part to the more recognisable slew of faces lurking behind the masks. The only surprise was the lack of conviction that A-Ha's lead singer Morten Harket was the man behind the Viking get-up - he literally sang his own song, Take On Me, in week five. Still, the numbers have been whittled down and there's just three remaining for this week's final.

Princess Margaret: Queen of Mustique (C5, 9pm)

So shocking were some of the rumours surrounding Princess Margaret and her time spent on the Caribbean island of Mustique that even the makers of Netflix's The Crown didn't use them all. This documentary hears stories from the place where Margaret felt most at home and most able to be herself - from scandalous affairs, X-rated party games, a rumoured rockstar lover and even an alleged bank robbery. Archive footage, insider testimony and expert interviews combine to reveal all.
