It's the fall classic this week, as Davina McCall watches millions and millions of pounds disappear from view in The Million Pound Drop (C4, 10pm weekdays). Food fans have Street Market Chefs (C5, 7.30 Tuesday), Instant Restaurant (BBC2, 2.15 weekdays), and The Hairy Bikers' Cook Off (BBC2, 5.15 weekdays). Hidden educational show Monte Carlo or Bust is out of place on ITV (9pm Thursday), and we're really not sure about Brainsurge (Nickelodeon, 6.30pm from Tuesday).
Schedules subject to change.
