The start of Eurovision Song Contest week is marked with a Blue Peter special (CBBC, 11am Saturday). The semi-finals go out on Tuesday and Thursday (BBC3 and RTE2, 8pm). Business fans will be pleased to hear about Meindia Dy Fusnes (S4C, 5pm Mon, Wed), in which teams invest in their friends' business ideas. There's also a new series of The Apprentice (BBC1, 9pm Tue, Wed), but no-one cares about that. And if you find yourself wondering whatever happened to last year's Big Brother winner, Channel 5 has There's Something About Josie (10pm Mon) to help out. We're wondering what happened to Ratings Bear?
