A new run of Dragons' Den begins this week (BBC2, 9pm Sunday). There's also a new run of Hell's Kitchen Us (ITV2, 9pm Monday), and The Chase returns (ITV, 5pm weekdays) - repeats for most of the country, but new for viewers in Scotland. Really joins Freeview on Tuesday, and its imports include Masterchef Australia (11am weekdays), Hair Battle Spectacular (4pm weekdays), and Tool Academy (9pm Tuesday). And, over on ESPN Classic, some 70s nostalgia from The (Sporting) Superstars (weekday mornings).
