Coming up this week, it's that annual exhibition of pan-European culture in the Eurovision Song Contest (Saturday 8pm). There's another new series of Just a Minute (Radio 4, 6.30 Monday), a run of Dating in the Dark (UK Living, 9pm Tuesday), and not one, not two, but three news quizzes on Friday evening. Really, we're spoiled. Budget cuts reach game show land, as the top prize in Dave's new quiz is a frozen chicken. That's Compete for the Meat, 9pm Thursday.
