TV Guide This Week
It's September, it's the last night of the Proms, it's the first night of Strictly Come Dancing (BBC1, 6.50 Sat). Also a new run of Tipping Point (ITV, 4pm weekdays), and the end of Celebrity Big Brother (C5, all week) is interrupted by the possibly non-contest Celebrity Super-Spa (C5, 10pm Friday).
Schedules subject to change.
