TV Guide This Week

BBC admits it: Dragons' Den is a game show. Why else would they make a show called How to Win in the Den (BBC2, 8pm Wednesday) if there wasn't a way to win? There's a new series of 8 Out of 10 Cats (C4, 10.30 Friday), The X Factor goes international (ITV2, 8pm Thursday), and A Question of Sport comes to Ireland with Put 'Em Under Pressure (RTE1, 7.30 Sunday). Also: The World Sheepdog Trials on More4 (7pm Saturday and Sunday), The Beat Goes On goes on (C5, 10.30am Sunday), and Family Cook Off (C5, 7.30 Tuesday)

Schedules subject to change.
