Britain's Got Talent moves into its live semi-finals (ITV, Sun - Thu) and it's marked with a Who Wants to be a Millionaire special (ITV, 7.15 Sun). Celebrity Deal or No Deal moves to Monday (C4, 7.15) with Louis Walsh. It's a bank holiday, so look out for marathon runs of Scream If You Know the Answer! (Watch, Sat and Mon mornings); and the complete run of Fort Boyard Ultimate Challenge (CITV, Monday). All this is a run-up to the Mastermind final (BBC2, 7.30 Fri; 9.35 in Wales).
Schedules subject to change.
