TV Guide This Week
If it's mid-November, it must be time for Ant and Dec to cut the ribbon and declare I'm a Celebrity open (ITV, 9pm Sunday). Earlier on Sunday, the Challenge channel shows off what it won in the Tat Raffle (British Par 3 Championship, UK's Strongest Man), and we're interested to see that Bear Grylls has an imported show on Discovery, Get Out Alive (9pm Monday).
Schedules subject to change.
