Revision as of 19:18, 18 January 2021

Back this week: Catchpoint (BBC1, Sat), beginning with a celebrity edition. We've a new run (or skate, or whatever) for Dancing on Ice (VM1 and ITV, Sun), but pay for it with new Millionaire (ITV and VM1, Sun). Thursday sees The Chasers' Road Trip (ITV).

And it's The Poll of the Year Results Show (bothersbar.co.uk, Sun). Can any show stop Beat the Chasers from being the best? Only one man knows, and he'll spill all the beans in an online special.
