TV Guide This Week
Line 1: Line 1:
-
For their own convenience, the broadcasters have decreed this week to be the first half of the Christmas and New Year fortnight. It's a conceit that falls down only slightly with a quick look at the calendar. Next week's Game Show Times will be the Christmas and New Year double-bill that ''actually covers New Year''.
+
Highlights for Christmas week include a '''[[Fighting Talk]]''' special (Radio 5 and 6 Music, 11am Christmas Eve), the '''[[Strictly Come Dancing]]''' special (BBC1, 8pm Christmas Day), a celebrity '''[[Counterpoint]]''' (Radio 4, 12.04 Boxing Day), '''[[The Big Fat Quiz of the Year]]''' (C4, 9pm Holiday Tuesday), '''[[Mastermind|Celebrity Mastermind]]''' (BBC1, from Holiday Tuesday), highlights of '''[[Celebrity Juice]]''' (ITV2, 10pm Thursday), and '''[[The News Quiz|Oh No It Isn't - The News Quiz Panto]]''' (Radio 4, 6.15 Friday).
-
This week, it's the '''[[Strictly Come Dancing]]''' final (BBC1, from 7pm Saturday), preceeded by '''[[Total Wipeout|Winter Wipeout]]''' (6pm). Channel 4 goes '''[[Home for the Holidays]]''' (8pm Sunday, 10pm weekdays), and there's a live edition of '''[[Who Wants to be a Millionaire|Millionaire]]''' (ITV, 8.30 Monday). Christmas means such delights as '''[[University Challenge|University Challenge The Graduates]]''' (BBC2, from 7.30 Monday) and '''[[World's Strongest Man]]''' (C5, from 7pm Tuesday). There's a '''[[Celebrity Juice]]''' special (ITV2, 10pm Thursday) and a new run of '''[[The News Quiz]]''' (Radio 4, 6.30 Friday).
+
For New Year, we've the junior edition of '''[[Fort Boyard]]''' (ITV, 7.50am New Year's Day). '''[[Got to Dance]]''' is back (The Satellite Channel, 6pm New Year's Day), and '''[[The Bank Job]]''' (C4, 10pm from Holiday Monday). New runs of '''[[Perfection]]''' (BBC2, 4.30) and '''[[The Chase]]''' (ITV, 5pm) brighten weekdays, and '''[[A Question of Taste]]''' is a food quiz (BBC2, 7.30 Monday).
