It's the height of summer, which can mean only one thing: Fighting Talk is back (Radio 5, 11am Saturday). And, for the third time this year, Just a Minute returns (Radio 4, 6.30 Monday). Other than that, we're struggling: Jason Manford sings opera (Born to Shine, ITV, 8pm Sun), The Superstars reaches Cwmbran (ESPN Classic, weekday mornings), and another chance to see The Block (UKTV Home, 7pm Thu).
