After the feast of new shows last week, a comparative famine this. We finally get to see Perfection (BBC2, 4.30 weekdays) and not just through the answers in a monitor. Ready Steady Cook (BBC2, 11.45am weekdays) and Come Dine with Me (C4, 5pm weekdays) also return, as does Pop Idle Us (ITV2, 8pm Thursday). ESPN Classic has some vintage episodes of World's Strongest Man (from Monday), Dave gets The Bubble (11pm Tuesday), and TG4 a new run of Feirm Factor (8.45 Sunday).
Schedules subject to change.
