  SUNDAY sees the return of Escape to the Chateau at 8.30pm on Channel 4. Dick and Angel expand the project by setting up a luxury campsite on the chateau grounds, but they only have six weeks to complete it before the first guests arrive - and the weather is not on their side, with constant rain turning the planned site into a muddy field. They also have to contend with a visit from Dick's family at Easter.
  
  & if all of that wasn’t enough on MONDAY it’s a new series of 24 Hours in A&E at 9pm on Channel 4. In this episode Rich, 35, is airlifted to the hospital after being involved in a high-speed collision, & doctors are concerned when they discover he has lost feeling below his chest and can't move his legs.
