TV Guide 2017-11-25

Highlight of the week is the Junior Eurovision Song Contest (Sun; Fun Kids, TG4). Sixteen talented youngsters compete for points, and you can vote. Yes, you.

Lots of other shows continue, but nothing else starts or reaches a final.

With the December shutdown looming, we can produce listings a little earlier than normal. With a fair wind, next week's should be up on the website on Tuesday. Email subscribers will still get the schedule on Thursday, every Thursday.
