TV Guide This Week

Beware of bad singers on Saturday night: Your Country Needs Blue (BBC1, 6.10) unveils the corporation's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest, Sing If You Can (ITV, 7.20) tries to distract people from their performance, and the irrelevance-fest that is Britain's Got Talent returns (ITV, 8.20). On Wednesday, there's another chance to see Cash Cab (Quest, 7am), and a special challenge for great bakers in The Great British Wedding Cake (BBC2, 8pm). It could be a Good Friday at Three Mills, where The Million Pound Drop Live returns (C4, 10pm).

Schedules are subject to change, and next week's television guide will be published at the earlier time of Tuesday.
