00:00 Hi and welcome back to another episode of Screenbabel Weekend Watch.

00:02 I'm National World Digital Trends Writer and I'll be taking you through the best TV shows

00:07 and films to watch on TV and streaming platforms this weekend and beyond.

00:12 To kick things off we've got a show that will already have landed by the time you see this.

00:16 Ahsoka Season 1 is the new Disney+ Star Wars spin-off, one of many Star Wars spin-offs

00:23 they're creating in the expanding universe.

00:25 The first two episodes landed on Wednesday the 23rd, but the episode 3 will be airing

00:34 next Wednesday on the 30th, with six episodes in total airing weekly.

00:40 So the series follows the Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano following the collapse of the Galactic

00:47 Empire as she investigates a new threat to a now vulnerable galaxy.

00:53 Then on Friday the 25th we have You Are So Not Invited To My Bar Mitzvah.

00:58 This is an Adam Sandler comedy series.

01:01 It follows a woman, Stacey Friedman, who prepares for her bar mitzvah but plans comedically

01:08 unravel and threaten to ruin the landmark event.

01:13 It stars Adam Sandler as well as his wife Jackie and their children Sadie and Sonny.

01:18 So a couple more nepo babies coming through the ranks there, and that's on Netflix on

01:24 Friday.

01:25 Then also on Friday is The Dive.

01:27 This is out exclusively in cinemas.

01:30 It's a sort of horror thriller film, think 127 hours but underwater.

01:34 It's basically two sisters go diving at a beautiful location.

01:39 One of the sisters is struck by a rock and trapped 28 meters below the water's surface

01:44 with her oxygen levels running out and cold temperatures creeping in.

01:50 It's a race against time for her sister to save her life.

01:54 On Sunday the 27th we have The Woman In The Wall, a BBC One series.

01:59 This is a thriller, follows Lorna Brady who wakes up one morning to find a corpse in the

02:05 wall of her house with no idea who the woman is or how she got there.

02:09 She begins to doubt herself as she has suffered with extreme bouts of sleepwalking throughout

02:13 her life and worries that maybe she has become a killer.

02:17 The first episode airs at five past nine on Sunday the 27th with episodes airing weekly,

02:23 six episodes in the series.

02:25 They will also be available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

02:28 Then on Tuesday the 29th we have Selling Super Houses, a new series, six episode series on

02:34 Channel 4.

02:37 This follows a London-born property magnate, Paul Kemsley, who has returned from Beverly

02:44 Hills and is planning to take over London's supreme luxurious property market with the

02:51 help of some new estate agents.

02:54 So that will air on Channel 4 at 9pm on Tuesday, six episodes airing weekly.

02:59 Then lastly we have Star Trek Lower Decks, season one to three.

03:02 They're coming to Paramount Plus on Tuesday the 29th.

03:06 It's an adult animated comedy series which first aired in 2020 and it follows the support

03:11 crew of one of the lesser known Starship fleets.

03:14 So that will definitely be worth a watch for any Star Trek fans, something a little bit

03:18 different from the Star Trek universe.

03:21 Well that's all from me, thanks very much for listening to another episode of Weekend

03:25 Watch.

03:26 I'm Jamie again next week for more Weekend Watch recommendations.

03:29 Thanks very much.
