What's on? Top 10 TV and streaming tips for Tuesday

A lot of new and returning shows including More Than a Whistle - a look at female refs - MasterChef: The Professionals, Mary Berry's Foolproof Dinners, book show Between the Covers, and the spat between Kendrick Lamar and Drake . . .

Pick of the Day

This documentary looks fascinating.

It follows three referees, Joy Neville (above), Michelle O'Neill and Maggie Farrelly (below), on the next phase of their careers as they strive to be the best in the business.

Viewers get access to each person's preparation, match and post-game thoughts and experiences.

We see how they handle their busy schedules and limited downtime, while also getting a first-hand testimonial of what it was that drove them toward becoming pioneers of the game.

Viewers will also see how each referee has had a different journey and will have a different trajectory in the future, but the one common thread is that they will keep striving to be the best, to change their respective sports for the better and to be viewed simply as a referee, rather than a female referee.
