TV Guide Last Week

A new year brings many new shows. Highlights on Saturday include Britain's Brightest and In It to Win It (BBC1), Splash! and Take Me Out (ITV), then there's Dancing on Ice and Family Fortunes (ITV, Sunday), and CITV has lots of old shows this weekend, including a game show block around 1pm. Weekdays have Face the Clock (C4, 3.30), Jedward's Big Adventure (CBBC, 4.30), and Countdown Supreme Championship II (4seven, 4.45). BBC Alba has new runs of Aibisidh (Mon) and Gleusta (Tue), and television's toughest quiz is back at the Championship of Champions (BBC4, 8.30 Monday).

Schedules subject to change.
