The week's new Saturday night highlight is Drop Zone (BBC1, 3.35 Sunday), in which teams are given tricky tasks and must avoid being the last ones standing. Four in a Bed comes to Channel 4 daytimes (5.30 weekdays), and Young Hairdresser of the Year (BBC3, 10.30 Tuesday) marks the return of the annual talent competitions. Regionalia gives us the possibly non-gamey Sibling Rivalry (BBC Radio Wales, 1.05 Saturday), The All-Ireland Talent Show (RTE1, 6.30 Sunday), and Mission Millennium (TV5, 1.05 Monday).
