Hole in the Wall (BBC1, 5.40 Saturday)

Minor celebs try to fit through a titular hole in a titular wall. Hosted by Dale Winton.

Top Brain (Radio 4, 1.30 Monday)

Strictly Come Dancing - It Takes Two (BBC2, 6.30 weeknights)

Claudia Winkleman and chums.

Gaisce Gnó (BBC2 Northern Ireland, 7.30 Monday)

One Versus One Hundred (Challemge, 9pm weeknights)

Now, is this Dermot O'Leary, or someone completely different?

Keith Lemon's Celebrity Juice (ITV2, 10pm Wednesday)

Leigh Francis hosts a comedy game about celebrities. Team captains are Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby, and guests are set to include Dermot O'Leary. Or someone completely different.
