TV Guide Last Week

Line 1: Line 1:
-
Saturday night's alright for singing this week, as Aled Jones and Josie D'Arby host the BBC's coverage of the biennial '''''Choir of the Year''''' competition (BBC4, 8pm Saturday). '''[[I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!|I'm a Celebrity]]''' concludes on Saturday (9.25, ITV and TV3), that's apart from the post-match analysis (ITV, 9pm Monday; ITV2, weeknights), and '''[[Countdown]]''' moves into finals week (C4, 3.25 from Thursday). '''''New Masterchef Australia''''' concludes (UKTV Watch, 7pm Friday), there's a '''[[Come Dine with Me]]''' special about ''Coronation Street'' (C4, 9pm Monday), and ITV has a celebration wrapped around a quiz on the show (ITV, 9pm Friday). But that's opposite the '''[[Strictly Come Dancing|Strictly]]''' semi-final (BBC1, 9pm Friday) which counts to the result. It's all too hard!
+
Finals week is upon us - '''[[The X Factor]]''' finishes on Sunday (ITV), '''[[Countdown]]''''s over on Friday (C4), as is '''[[TMi|TMi Friday]]''' (CBBC). '''[[The Apprentice]]''' finishes in Ireland (TV3, Monday), and heads towards a conclusion in the UK (BBC1, Wednesday). '''[[Mission 2110]]''' is also nearing its end, and there are three episodes this week (CBBC, Sat, Sun, Thu). Three episodes of '''[[The Million Pound Drop]]''' (C4, Wed-Fri), a week of '''[[Eggheads|Celebrity Eggheads]]''' (BBC2), plenty of '''[[Quiz is Anfield]]''' (LFC TV, weekdays except Wed), '''[[Have I Got News for You|HIGNFY]]''' moves to Friday (BBC1), and there's a '''''6 Music Quiz''''' (Fri). Oh, and there's a new run of '''[[Take Me Out]]''' (ITV, Saturday).

Revision as of 18:18, 16 December 2010

Finals week is upon us - The X Factor finishes on Sunday (ITV), Countdown's over on Friday (C4), as is TMi Friday (CBBC). The Apprentice finishes in Ireland (TV3, Monday), and heads towards a conclusion in the UK (BBC1, Wednesday). Mission 2110 is also nearing its end, and there are three episodes this week (CBBC, Sat, Sun, Thu). Three episodes of The Million Pound Drop (C4, Wed-Fri), a week of Celebrity Eggheads (BBC2), plenty of Quiz is Anfield (LFC TV, weekdays except Wed), HIGNFY moves to Friday (BBC1), and there's a 6 Music Quiz (Fri). Oh, and there's a new run of Take Me Out (ITV, Saturday).
