TV Guide This Week
A busy Saturday night, as Britain's Got Talent (ITV, 7.15) goes up against Pointless Celebrities (BBC1, 7pm) and In It to Win It (BBC1, 7.50). Later, new shows Amazing Greys (ITV, 8.30) and The Guess List (BBC1, 9.30). Only Connect (BBC4, 8.30 Monday) is back, as is Young Musician of the Year (BBC4, 7.30 Friday). And after cooking and sewing, it's gardening in The Big Allotment Challenge (BBC2, 8pm Tuesday).
Schedules subject to change.
