Revision as of 17:25, 10 October 2019

A choice of entertainment for your Saturday night. On ITV, it's The X Factor Celebrity, where various famous people perform for Simon Cowell and his chums. On BBC1, The Wall threatens to make someone very rich, on the bounce of a ball. We reviewed the French version in 2017.

On Sunday, Celebrity Hunted kicks off (Channel 4). For viewers on Ireland, Go Gasta sounds like knockout television (TG4). There's a new series of Tenable (ITV, weekdays), and Flour Power gets a network slot (BBC1, Sat).

Would I Lie to You? returns for Friday (BBC1), as does Breaking the News (Radio Scotland). It's the last in the present run of The Circle (Channel 4).
