What have you been watching this week (w/e 12 May)?

In between hay-fever induced sneezes, why not let your fellow readers know what’s worth watching on tele right now?

I’ve done a few reviews this week, including Property Snakes & Ladders and Mental – hopefully a That Mitchell and Webb Look review coming later today, which overall I enjoyed. Still got last night’s episodes of Royal Pains and Burn Notice to watch, of course, and The Daily Show‘s kind of ticking along, even if it isn’t doing anything too hard hitting at the moment.

The Apprentice final was on Sunday, of course – the best one won for once. What a miracle. What an awful, awful prize: running a digital signage business for doctors’ waiting rooms. That’ll be so much more exciting than running your own restaurant Yasmina, won’t it? Private Eye, incidentally, reveals (via the Sunday Mirror) that Debra cheated a couple of weeks ago by getting her parents to ring up the Shopping Channel and order the items she was trying to flog. Oh dear.

UPDATE: Forgot Nurse Jackie. That was okay. Nicely dark still, but still a bit bitty. Like her English best friend though.

As always, no spoilers unless you’re going to use the <spoiler> </spoiler> tags, please? Ta!
