A feast of new shows, and that's just on Saturday. BBC1 begins with Epic Win (5.30), then follows with Secret Fortune (8.05). Over on ITV, it's Family Fortunes (7pm), The X Factor (8pm), and Who Wants to be a Millionaire Soap Stars (9.15). The last of those continues on Sunday, after the Born to Shine final (7.30, ITV). Britain's Favourite Button™'s other summer disappointment also comes to an end, Show Me the Funny has its live final on Thursday (9pm) after the final heat on Monday. Really, it's not all that bad. Meanwhile, the CBBC Channel offers us something new in the form of Street Dance Stars (9.00, all week). Celebrity Big Brother continues all week on Channel 5 and The Facebook, with the first live eviction on Friday. And if you're looking for some good news, Countdown returns on Monday.
Schedules subject to change.
