TV Guide This Week
Coming up this week, we've a celebrity edition of Coach Trip (C4, 5.30 weekdays). Fans of Just a Minute get this year's third series (Radio 4, 6.30 Mondays), and Trapped Ever After comes to BBC1 (3.05 Friday). Radio 2 presents the Radio 2 Young Chorister of the Year (8.30 Sunday), and Blast Lab comes to Ireland (RTE2, 3.30 weekdays). Viewers in Scotland may wish to note that Pointless has moved to 1pm, and those in Wales may wish to be aware of a documentary on Only Men Aloud (S4C, 8pm Thursday).
Schedules subject to change.
Readers may wish to note that broadcasts on high-definition versions of most channels are not separately indicated - this is simply because we don't have reliable or consistent information as to which shows are HD. Programmes on the BBC-HD channel are marked, as this doesn't follow any other channel's schedule.
