TV Guide This Week

A quiet start to the week, nothing more interesting than Eurovision Young Musicians (eurovision.tv, 8pm Sat). Then we get Big Brother (C5, 9pm Thu), The News Quiz (Radio 4, 6.30 Fri), Fifteen-to-One The Celebrity Edition (C4, 8pm Fri), and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (C4, 9pm Fri).

Schedules subject to change.
