This week, it's the return of Wogan's Perfect Recall, at the new improved time of 2.55pm (C4 weekdays). Or you could be watching Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (3pm, BBC2 weekdays). Mock the Week resumes (BBC2, 10pm Thursday), Celebrity Juice returns (ITV2, 10pm Thursday), and children's television is enlivened by Fee Fi Fo Yum (BBC1, 4pm Friday). But this is not the week's highlight. That'll be the return of Only Connect (BBC4, 8.30 Monday). Or, if you're a snobby television critic, the end of Big Brother. But it's not going out without a bang: there's a winners' edition of Come Dine with Me (C4, 8pm Monday), an 8 Out of 10 Cats special (10pm Thursday), and finals night runs from 7.30 on Friday until past midnight.
