The week before Christmas is a quiet time of year. There are finals for '''[[One Man and His Dog]]''' (BBC2, 4.30 Saturday and 1.45 Sunday), '''[[Mission 2110]]''' (CBBC, 5.35 Sat), '''[[Strictly Come Dancing]]''' (BBC1, 7pm Sat), '''[[Drop Zone]]''' (BBC1, 2.25 Sun; 11am BBC2 in Scotland), '''[[Quiz is Anfield]]''' (LFC TV, 8.30 Sun), '''[[The Apprentice]]''' (BBC1, 9pm Sun), and '''[[Chris Moyles' Quiz Night]]''' (C4, 10pm Wed). There are celebrity editions of '''[[Eggheads]]''' (BBC2, weekdays), '''[[Come Dine with Me]]''' (C4, 9pm Wed), and '''[[The Cube]]''' (ITV, 7pm Sat), and special editions of '''[[The Weakest Link]]''' (BBC1, Mo-We). '''[[Who Wants to be a Millionaire]]''' tries a live episode (ITV, 9pm Thu), and there's an '''[[8 Out of 10 Cats]]''' special (C4, 10pm Thu).
+
Christmas week begins with the '''[[Strictly Come Dancing]] Special''' (BBC1, 7pm Christmas Day), and there are special quizzes on Radios 2, 3, and 5. Highlight of Christmas Sunday is a two-hour '''[[Fighting Talk]]''' (Radio 5, 10am) and '''[[Total Wipeout]]''' coming to Freeview (Dave, 6pm). Boxing Day brings a new run of '''[[I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue]]''' (Radio 4, 6.30), '''[[Mastermind|Celebrity Mastermind]]''' (BBC1, weekdays to 7 January), '''[[World's Strongest Man]]''' (Bravo, 8pm), a celebration of Welsh talent show talent (S4C 8pm), and the so hard it's after the watershed Grand Final of '''[[Only Connect (2)|Only Connect]]''' (BBC4, 9pm). On Holiday Tuesday, RTÉ Radio 1 kicks off '''''Before Our Time''''' (1.30), quizzing young people about things that happened before they were born. Thursday 30 has special editions of '''[[Never Mind the Buzzcocks]]''' (BBC2, 9.30) and '''[[Shooting Stars]]''' (BBC2, 10pm), and New Year's Eve has '''[[Come Dine with Me]]''' (C4, 8.10) and the first '''[[The News Quiz|News Quiz of the Year]]''' in many moons (Radio 4, 6.30). Readers are warned that that's followed by a '''''Front Row''''' quiz (7.15) featuring Mark Lawson. Accurancy will not be a problem.

===Saturday===
+
'''[[The Magicians]]''' kicks off the new year with a spark (BBC1, 7.30); ITV's knock-off follows on Friday ('''[[Penn & Teller: Fool Us]]''', 9pm). Obscurantism includes '''[[Superstars|The Superstars 1980]]''' on ESPN Classic (4pm), '''''Almost Famous''''' (BBC3, 10.30), and '''''Only Men Aloud's''''' gala concert (S4C, 8.30). 2 January features '''[[The Cube]]''' (ITV, 8pm) with Jennie McAlpine and Ricky Hatton. That's up against the opener of '''[[Famous and Fearless]]''' (C4, 8pm, continues all week) in which famous people do terrifying things, like be interviewed by Cliff Evans and Clare Balding. RTÉ1 has a celebration of two decades of '''''Winning Streak''''' (12.20), and Derek Mooney still doesn't get the rules. Normal service begins to resume on 3 January with '''[[Mission 2110]]''' on BBC2 (8am), '''[[The Chase]]''' returns (ITV, 5pm), and '''[[Deal or No Deal]]''' expands into its new bloated slot (C4, 3.55). '''The Secret Life of [[Bob Monkhouse]]''' is BBC4's biopic (9pm), and '''[[The Big Fat Quiz of the Year]]''' goes out here (C4, 9.30). '''[[The Weakest Link]]''' and '''[[Eggheads]]''' also return on the 3rd, '''[[Pointless]]''' follows on the 4th, where it's joined by repeats of '''[[Puzzle Panel]]''' from 1998 (BBC7, 2pm). And if it's normal service you're after, '''[[A Question of Sport]]''', '''[[Mastermind]]''', and '''[[QI]]''' all come back on Friday 7 January.

Revision as of 18:10, 6 January 2011

Christmas week begins with the Strictly Come Dancing Special (BBC1, 7pm Christmas Day), and there are special quizzes on Radios 2, 3, and 5. Highlight of Christmas Sunday is a two-hour Fighting Talk (Radio 5, 10am) and Total Wipeout coming to Freeview (Dave, 6pm). Boxing Day brings a new run of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (Radio 4, 6.30), Celebrity Mastermind (BBC1, weekdays to 7 January), World's Strongest Man (Bravo, 8pm), a celebration of Welsh talent show talent (S4C 8pm), and the so hard it's after the watershed Grand Final of Only Connect (BBC4, 9pm). On Holiday Tuesday, RTÉ Radio 1 kicks off Before Our Time (1.30), quizzing young people about things that happened before they were born. Thursday 30 has special editions of Never Mind the Buzzcocks (BBC2, 9.30) and Shooting Stars (BBC2, 10pm), and New Year's Eve has Come Dine with Me (C4, 8.10) and the first News Quiz of the Year in many moons (Radio 4, 6.30). Readers are warned that that's followed by a Front Row quiz (7.15) featuring Mark Lawson. Accurancy will not be a problem.

The Magicians kicks off the new year with a spark (BBC1, 7.30); ITV's knock-off follows on Friday (Penn & Teller: Fool Us, 9pm). Obscurantism includes The Superstars 1980 on ESPN Classic (4pm), Almost Famous (BBC3, 10.30), and Only Men Aloud's gala concert (S4C, 8.30). 2 January features The Cube (ITV, 8pm) with Jennie McAlpine and Ricky Hatton. That's up against the opener of Famous and Fearless (C4, 8pm, continues all week) in which famous people do terrifying things, like be interviewed by Cliff Evans and Clare Balding. RTÉ1 has a celebration of two decades of Winning Streak (12.20), and Derek Mooney still doesn't get the rules. Normal service begins to resume on 3 January with Mission 2110 on BBC2 (8am), The Chase returns (ITV, 5pm), and Deal or No Deal expands into its new bloated slot (C4, 3.55). The Secret Life of Bob Monkhouse is BBC4's biopic (9pm), and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year goes out here (C4, 9.30). The Weakest Link and Eggheads also return on the 3rd, Pointless follows on the 4th, where it's joined by repeats of Puzzle Panel from 1998 (BBC7, 2pm). And if it's normal service you're after, A Question of Sport, Mastermind, and QI all come back on Friday 7 January.
