TV Guide This Week
A good week for children - not just the BBC's annual appeal for Children in Need (BBC1, Friday), but also junior versions of Just a Minute (Radio 4 Extra, 4pm weekdays) and The Great British Bake Off (CBBC, 4.30 weekdays). A good week for the very old, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue is back (Radio 4, 6.30 Monday), and Never Mind the Buzzcocks pays tribute to Dr Who (BBC2, 10pm Thu).
Schedules subject to change.
