TV Guide This Week
What have we got this week? New episodes of Dickinson's Real Deal (ITV, 3pm weekdays), Britain's Strongest Man (Challenge, 10pm Monday), and the resumption of Chris Moyles' Quiz Night (C4, 10pm Wednesday). The Devil's Dinner Party (Sky Atlantic, 8pm Wednesday) sees the CDWM format tweaked yet again. Highlights of Would I Lie to You? (BBC1, 8.30 Friday) and a documentary about the computer that appeared on Jeopardy! earlier in the year (PBS, 7.50 Thursday). And that's it.
Schedules subject to change.
