Current revision as of 17:52, 14 July 2022

A new series of The Hit List (BBC1, Sat), great news for people who can tell songs from the first second of the intro. Radio 4 has the pilot panel game The Ultimate Choice (Thu).

Elsewhere, Best in Miniature (Really, Mon) is an imported challenge for designers of very small things. We were looking forward to Bonnie Langford on Tipping Point Lucky Stars, but ITV have decided to show some self-important nonsense instead.
