The Saturday night battles are joined again this week: defending champion Britain's Got Talent (ITV, 8pm) is up against newcomer The Voice UK (BBC1, 7pm). May the better show win, and everyone turn over to The Million Pound Drop Live (C4, 9.20). Just a Minute continues its 45th birthday celebrations by appearing on telly (BBC2, 6pm weekdays), and The Weakest Link moves towards its conclusion with some special episodes (BBC2, 2.15 from Wed).
Schedules subject to change.
