A really obscure set of shows this week – QI (BBC2, 10pm Fri) and The Million Pound Drop Live (C4, 9pm Fri) test arcane knowledge. Dragons' Den (BBC2, 9pm Sun) pretends it's not a game show, S4C has Y Lifft (5.40 Wed), E4 has another go at Meet the Parents (9pm Wed), and Radio 3 gives us coverage from the Leeds International Piano Competition (7.30 Thursday).
Schedules subject to change.
