Saturday night's alright for singing this week, as Aled Jones and Josie D'Arby host the BBC's coverage of the biennial Choir of the Year competition (BBC4, 8pm Saturday). I'm a Celebrity concludes on Saturday (9.25, ITV and TV3), that's apart from the post-match analysis (ITV, 9pm Monday; ITV2, weeknights), and Countdown moves into finals week (C4, 3.25 from Thursday). New Masterchef Australia concludes (UKTV Watch, 7pm Friday), there's a Come Dine with Me special about Coronation Street (C4, 9pm Monday), and ITV has a celebration wrapped around a quiz on the show (ITV, 9pm Friday). But that's opposite the Strictly semi-final (BBC1, 9pm Friday) which counts to the result. It's all too hard!
