TV Guide This Week
Been missing Only Connect? There's a Sport Relief special (BBC4, 8.30 Mon) starring Charlie Brooker and Val McDermid, and pitting Arnold against Balding once more. Sport Relief also has a Pointless Celebrities (BBC1, 5.15 Fri) and climaxes with an evening's entertaiment (BBC1, 7pm Fri). Elsewhere, a new run of Catchphrase (ITV, 7pm Sun) goes up against The Taste Us (More4, 7pm Sun), and there's a Tribute to Alan Coren (Radio 4xtra, 9am and 7pm Sat).
Schedules subject to change.
