The late August bank holiday is a good day to launch the autumn schedule, as people are at home to watch it. So there are new runs of Pointless (4.30, BBC2), Come Dine with Me (5pm, C4), and Coach Trip (5.30, C4), and they continue each day. Monday also sees a Humph Celebration (Radio 4 FM, 12 noon), words and music about the legend. The King is Dead (BBC3, 10.30 Thursday) is a job interview and chat show, and do remember that Ultimate Big Brother continues all week (C4 and E4).
