It has become a cliché to claim we are living in a golden age of television. People have been saying it for years. But we are living in a golden age of choice. Never have so many programmes been available to watch, admittedly in some cases, by so few.

Not every show is good – how could they all be? But there’s still a huge amount of quality TV to watch and the biggest challenge for viewers in the age of multiple channels, catch-up and streaming services is how to find it. Which is where Radio Times comes in.

It’s became an RT tradition to start the year with a pleasingly poetic round-up of the best shows to look forward to – 24 for 2024. But it soon became apparent to us that this year it would be an impossible task. There is simply too much good television out there. Which is why we have ended up with the 65 shows you won’t want to miss this year.

Radio Times editor Shem Law wears a shirt, tie and grey jumper. He is sitting at a wooden desk behind a sign saying "Editor" clasping his hands. There are other items on the desk, including a dial telephone and typewriter.

Shem Law

Shem Law is the brand editor of Radio Times, and the 20th person to hold that esteemed position in over 100 years. He wasn't allowed a television growing up, but over the years he has rather overcompensated for that fact.
