TV Guide This Week
The Britain's Got Talent final (ITV and TV3, 7.30 Saturday) is the highlight of the week, in the way that Stonehenge is the highlight of a field near Salisbury. It's even got its own slightly tawdry gift shop (Britain's Got More Talent, ITV2 Mo-We) and by-pass (Britain's Got Talent Us, ITV2 11.50am Sun). Also: a celebrity run of Tipping Point (ITV, 7pm Sun), the return of Mock the Week (BBC2, 10pm Thu) and The Million Pound Drop (C4, 9pm Fri), no-one bothers to show Eurovision Young Dancers (youngdancers.tv, 8pm Fri), and Big Brother (C5, 9pm Thu).
Schedules subject to change.
