After the party, it's the hangover, with very few new shows of note this week. Interesting programmes include the final of Great British Hairdresser (E4, 10pm Monday), featuring a guest appearance by Vidal Sassoon; and the start of a new series of Survivor (TG4, 7.30 Wednesday), but that's only for viewers in Ireland. There's all sorts of schedule-related shenanigans from the election results on Friday, do check carefully before viewing. Highlight of the week, then, is The Quite Remarkable David Coleman (BBC2, 9pm Tuesday), a profile of the man who hosted A Question of Sport for absolutely years.
