TV Guide This Week
Young Talent of the Year is back (BBC3, 8pm Sunday), commencing with Bakers. Only Connect has another Wall Night (BBC4, from 8.30 Monday), and Love in the Wild travels the world on an ITV2 budget (9pm Wednesday). We're not sure that Ultimate Sports Day (CBBC, 9am Saturday) counts as a game show, but we do know that Challenge pays tribute to Bob Holness with Blockbusters Weekend (from 9am, Sat-Sun).
Schedules subject to change.
