TV Guide 2021-03-20

A quieter week for game shows. This is My House (BBC1, Wed) mixes property showoffs, deception, and Stacey Dooley. Great Local Menu (BBC2, from Wed) is back for another series, only feels like five minutes since the last one ended.

Final of The Voice of This Territory (ITV, Sat), which will surprise everyone because apparently there is some competition after the spinning chairs. All Star Musicals (ITV, Sun) features lots of great stars, and Robert Peston.
