Christmas week begins with the '''[[Strictly Come Dancing]] Special''' (BBC1, 7pm Christmas Day), and there are special quizzes on Radios 2, 3, and 5. Highlight of Christmas Sunday is a two-hour '''[[Fighting Talk]]''' (Radio 5, 10am) and '''[[Total Wipeout]]''' coming to Freeview (Dave, 6pm). Boxing Day brings a new run of '''[[I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue]]''' (Radio 4, 6.30), '''[[Mastermind|Celebrity Mastermind]]''' (BBC1, weekdays to 7 January), '''[[World's Strongest Man]]''' (Bravo, 8pm), a celebration of Welsh talent show talent (S4C 8pm), and the so hard it's after the watershed Grand Final of '''[[Only Connect (2)|Only Connect]]''' (BBC4, 9pm). On Holiday Tuesday, RTÉ Radio 1 kicks off '''''Before Our Time''''' (1.30), quizzing young people about things that happened before they were born. Thursday 30 has special editions of '''[[Never Mind the Buzzcocks]]''' (BBC2, 9.30) and '''[[Shooting Stars]]''' (BBC2, 10pm), and New Year's Eve has '''[[Come Dine with Me]]''' (C4, 8.10) and the first '''[[The News Quiz|News Quiz of the Year]]''' in many moons (Radio 4, 6.30). Readers are warned that that's followed by a '''''Front Row''''' quiz (7.15) featuring Mark Lawson. Accurancy will not be a problem.
+
Lots of new and returning shows this week. '''[[Celebrity Five Go to...]]''' (C4, 5pm weekdays) is an activity show for minor celebs. '''[[The Biggest Loser UK|The Biggest Loser]]''' is now on ITV (9pm Monday) and hosted by Davina McCall. That just feels wrong. '''''Cwis Mwyaf Cymru''''' (S4C, 5pm Thursday) is Wales's Biggest Quiz hosted by children's presenters, and '''[[Michel Roux's Service]]''' (BBC2, 8pm) is a rare trip into competitive preaching. Or is it competitive waiting?
-
'''[[The Magicians]]''' kicks off the new year with a spark (BBC1, 7.30); ITV's knock-off follows on Friday ('''[[Penn & Teller: Fool Us]]''', 9pm). Obscurantism includes '''[[Superstars|The Superstars 1980]]''' on ESPN Classic (4pm), '''''Almost Famous''''' (BBC3, 10.30), and '''''Only Men Aloud's''''' gala concert (S4C, 8.30). 2 January features '''[[The Cube]]''' (ITV, 8pm) with Jennie McAlpine and Ricky Hatton. That's up against the opener of '''[[Famous and Fearless]]''' (C4, 8pm, continues all week) in which famous people do terrifying things, like be interviewed by Cliff Evans and Clare Balding. RTÉ1 has a celebration of two decades of '''''Winning Streak''''' (12.20), and Derek Mooney still doesn't get the rules. Normal service begins to resume on 3 January with '''[[Mission 2110]]''' on BBC2 (8am), '''[[The Chase]]''' returns (ITV, 5pm), and '''[[Deal or No Deal]]''' expands into its new bloated slot (C4, 3.55). '''The Secret Life of [[Bob Monkhouse]]''' is BBC4's biopic (9pm), and '''[[The Big Fat Quiz of the Year]]''' goes out here (C4, 9.30). '''[[The Weakest Link]]''' and '''[[Eggheads]]''' also return on the 3rd, '''[[Pointless]]''' follows on the 4th, where it's joined by repeats of '''[[Puzzle Panel]]''' from 1998 (BBC7, 2pm). And if it's normal service you're after, '''[[A Question of Sport]]''', '''[[Mastermind]]''', and '''[[QI]]''' all come back on Friday 7 January.
+
In a change to the episode billed in most listings magazines, this week's '''[[Only Connect (2)|Only Connect]]''' will be the 2010 Championship of Champions, pitting the Epicureans against the Gamblers. BBC4, 8.30 Monday.
-
===Christmas Day===
+
Back amongst us are '''[[Total Wipeout]]''' (BBC1, 6pm Sat), '''[[In It to Win It]]''' (BBC1, 8pm Sat), '''[[May the Best House Win]]''' (ITV, 2pm weekdays), '''[[Antiques Road Trip]]''' (BBC2, 5.15 weekdays). '''[[Countdown]]''' moves to an earlier time (C4, 3.10 weekdays), and there are lots of episodes of '''[[Superstars|The Superstars]]''' (ESPN Classic, from Tuesday). Ireland gets its own version of '''''Take Me Out''''' (TV3, 7pm Sat), and the live performances begin on '''''The All-Ireland Talent Show''''' (RTE1, 6.30 Sunday).

Revision as of 18:17, 13 January 2011

Lots of new and returning shows this week. Celebrity Five Go to... (C4, 5pm weekdays) is an activity show for minor celebs. The Biggest Loser is now on ITV (9pm Monday) and hosted by Davina McCall. That just feels wrong. Cwis Mwyaf Cymru (S4C, 5pm Thursday) is Wales's Biggest Quiz hosted by children's presenters, and Michel Roux's Service (BBC2, 8pm) is a rare trip into competitive preaching. Or is it competitive waiting?

In a change to the episode billed in most listings magazines, this week's Only Connect will be the 2010 Championship of Champions, pitting the Epicureans against the Gamblers. BBC4, 8.30 Monday.

Back amongst us are Total Wipeout (BBC1, 6pm Sat), In It to Win It (BBC1, 8pm Sat), May the Best House Win (ITV, 2pm weekdays), Antiques Road Trip (BBC2, 5.15 weekdays). Countdown moves to an earlier time (C4, 3.10 weekdays), and there are lots of episodes of The Superstars (ESPN Classic, from Tuesday). Ireland gets its own version of Take Me Out (TV3, 7pm Sat), and the live performances begin on The All-Ireland Talent Show (RTE1, 6.30 Sunday).

Schedules subject to change.
