TV Guide 2025-06-28

Throughout the week, the BBC has wet blanket coverage of The Wimbledon Umbrella and Rainwear Exposition (Incorporating Cagoule '25). It's the only event capable of shifting Pointless and House of Games from their space in the teatime schedules.

We do have a new Pointless Celebrities (BBC1, Sat), Bake Off The Professionals continues (C4, Tue) and Strongest Man Live concludes (C5, Sat and Sun). A new series of Countdown begins (C4, weekdays) Love Island continues (VM2 and ITV2, all week), Taskmaster reaches its conclusion (C4, Thu).

The Hit List gives us something new (BBC1, Sat). Popmaster tv (More4 weeknights; final Thu) and Celebrity Puzzling continue (C5, Tue-Thu, with Sinha vs Williamson to close the series). Two new Bargain Hunt episodes (BBC1, Mon, Fri), and repeats of Joker's Wild (Rewind TV, from Wed).
