TV Guide This Week
Britain's Got Talent moves into its live semi-finals this week (ITV, 7.30 Mo-Th). End of an era on Eggheads (BBC2, 6pm Tue) as Daphne Fowler retires. It's the Fighting Talk Champions' League Final (Radio 5, 11am Sat), and CBBC (5pm Fri) presents Sam and Mark's Geordie Challenge, which we think is The Superteams but done in NEWCASTLE!!!
Schedules subject to change.
