This week's highlight is the University Challenge final (BBC2, 8pm Monday), pitting York against the winners of this past week's contest. Who Wants to be a Millionaire is back for one night only (ITV, 8.25 Saturday), and there's a new run of The Cube (ITV, Sunday 7pm [8pm Scotland]). Mary Nightingale takes over Britain's Best Dish (ITV, 5pm weekdays, not Scotland), there are returns for Great British Menu (BBC2, 6.30 weeknights), A Question of Sport (BBC1, Monday night) and Have I Got News for You (BBC1, 9.30 Friday).
It's a new financial year at the BBC, and the radio stations get a facelift - BBC7 becomes Radio 4Xtra, and begins with Russell Davies's review of the radio panel game in Let's Get Quizzical (9am and 8pm Saturday). There are new runs of Counterpoint (Radio 4, 1.30 Monday) and The Unbelievable Truth (Radio 4, 6.30 Monday). And, if you like school games in Gaelic, Gleusta (BBC Alba, 6.30 Wednesday) could be for you.
