We promised slim pickings for this week, we bring you slim pickings. Dave has been preparing for the fortnight, with a stockpile of new QI, HIGNFY, and Buzzcocks episodes (weeknights from 9). There's a special edition of Countdown (C4, 3.10 Monday), and Channel 5 promises that the Big Brother lab rats will be completely senseless (9pm Wednesday). Either enjoy the circus, or get in a massive pile of videos.
