Alphabetical (ITV, weekdays) asks Jeff Stelling to go everywhere from aardvark to zzyzyva. The Big Fat Quiz of Everything (C4, Monday) is almost as wide-ranging. There's a new series of Airmageddon (CBBC, Sun), and the final of the BBC New Comedy Award (Radio 4, Sun).

A couple of specials on the radio: Nadiya Hussein from Junior Bake Off talks about her life on Desert Island Discs (Radio 4, Sun). Nicholas Parsons and Gyles Brandreth go Behind the Scenes of Just a Minute (Radio 4 Extra, Mon).
