TV Guide This Week

An early start for the week's new show: '''[[Fort Boyard|Fort Boyard Ultimate Challenge]]''' (CITV, 8.30am Saturday and Sunday). It's the finals of '''[[The X Factor]]''' (ITV, 8.20 Saturday), '''[[Masterchef Goes Large|Masterchef The Professionals]]''' (BBC2, 8pm Thursday) and '''''Masterchef Ireland''''' (RTE2, 9.30 Thursday). There's a Women of ''Big Brother'' special edition of '''[[Who Wants to be a Millionaire]]''' (ITV, 6.40 Sunday), and celebrity editions of '''[[Pointless]]''' and '''[[Eggheads]]''' during the week.
+
It's the week before Christmas, and celebrity specials rule the house. [[Eggheads]] and [[Pointless]] are joined by '''[[University Challenge]]''' (BBC2, all week), '''[[Take Me Out]]''' (ITV, 7.45 Sat), '''[[Sion a Sian]]''' (S4C, 8.25 Thu), and '''[[Come Dine with Me]]''' (C4, 5pm weekdays). It's the grand final of '''[[Only Connect (2)|Only Connect]]''' (BBC4, 8.30 Mon) and '''[[Countdown]]''' (C4, 2.40 Friday), and - if the hype is to be believed - the final of the world as we know it. ITV is hedging its bets with '''''Text Santa''''' (Friday from 8), an entertainment gala (so if the world does end, it's with a smile) and charity appeal (so if it doesn't, some good will be done). Genius!

Revision as of 18:39, 13 December 2012

It's the week before Christmas, and celebrity specials rule the house. Eggheads and Pointless are joined by University Challenge (BBC2, all week), Take Me Out (ITV, 7.45 Sat), Sion a Sian (S4C, 8.25 Thu), and Come Dine with Me (C4, 5pm weekdays). It's the grand final of Only Connect (BBC4, 8.30 Mon) and Countdown (C4, 2.40 Friday), and - if the hype is to be believed - the final of the world as we know it. ITV is hedging its bets with Text Santa (Friday from 8), an entertainment gala (so if the world does end, it's with a smile) and charity appeal (so if it doesn't, some good will be done). Genius!

Schedules subject to change.
