TV Guide 2017-05-27

Semi-finals week on Got Talent (ITV and TV3, Mon-Fri), and The Chase is back (ITV, weekdays).

Series final of Fighting Talk (R5, Sat), Bake Off Crème de la Crème (BBC2, Wed), and of Bigheads (ITV, Sun). And for very boring reasons, this week's Have I Got News for You makes a slight return to BBC2.

Schedules are accurate at the time of publication; check against EPG for late changes.
