For UK viewers, it's a case of waiting all week for the first week proper of Strictly Come Dancing (BBC1, 9pm Friday) and some repeats of So Wrong It's Right (Radio 4, 6.30 Thursday). Would I Lie to You moves to Thursday this week. Food for the interim? The possibly non-gamey There's No Taste Like Home (ITV, 4pm weekdays). In Ireland, Dana's last appearance on Celebrity Bainisteoir (RTE1, 6.30 Sunday), a new run of An Gig Jig (TG4, 7.30 Sunday), and we defy anyone to work out the content of Sing! (RTE2, 5.30 Monday). And in Wales, coverage of a scholarship in the name of Bryn Terfel (S4C, 9pm Saturday and 6.30 Sunday).
Schedules subject to change.
