Current revision as of 11:38, 24 June 2023

Remember Ken Bruce's Popmaster? Missing from Radio 2 for the past few months, it's emerged on More4 (weeknights). Let's hope all the questions are well written and properly researched, eh.

Elsewhere, it's Countdown finals week (C4, weekdays), and the climax to Scotland's Home of the Year (BBC1 Scotland, Mon).
