TV Guide 2016-01-09

The very last run of ITV's BBC The Voice of Holland of UK begins (BBC1, Sat). The tone is raised by Brain of Britain 2016 (Radio 4, Mon), and lowered again by Britain's Next Top Model (Lifetime, Thu). Want to send it to Room 101? That's back as well (BBC1, Thu).

Dragons' Den resumes (BBC2, Sun), Big Brother continues (C5, all week), and Josie Gibson pops up on Celebrity Dinner Date (ITVBe, Wed). We're not sure about All Hail the Veil (E4, Mon-Wed).
