It's a new year and we've got lots of great red button content to keep you entertained throughout 2013.
For drama fans we have EastEnders and Casualty specials coming up this week plus a visit to the C´óÏó´«Ã½ drama Dumping Ground where you can take part in a quiz and watch some extras too.
There's a showcase of the musical talent predicted to make waves in 2013 and the return of the ever popular Antiques Roadshow play along quiz where you guess the value of antique items - can you beat the team of experts?
Add to that a bit of Miranda and a lot of sport and you'll agree that we've got a great start to the new year on red button.
Here's a look at what's in store - and if you want to stay updated on Red Button, be sure to or visit www.bbc.co.uk/redbutton
