What do we have for you this week? A few shows in Ireland: An Gig Jig (TG4, Sunday), Football's Next Star (RTE2, Friday), Family Fortunes (TV3, Friday), and Masterchef Ireland (RTE2, Thursday). For the Welsh, there's Fferm Ffactor (S4C, 8.25 Wednesday), and for the expats there's May the Best House Win on the continent (ITV, 4pm weekdays). We're more interested in the 1967 pilot episode of Just a Minute (Radio 4 Extra, 9.30am Thursday) and the resumption of Strictly Come Dancing (BBC1, 9pm Friday).
Schedules subject to change.
