TV Guide 2018-09-22

By coincidence, Saturday sees a new series of Fighting Talk (Radio 5) and performance shows on Strictly Come Dancing (BBC1). Let's hope they don't mix up the two formats, eh.

Music show Got What It Takes? is back (CBBC, Mon), and so is everyone's favourite guessing game Letterbox (BBC2, weekdays). Later in the week, Gareth Malone's All Star Music Quiz (BBC2, Thu), but we have no clue what happens there.

ITV4 is in on the new shows, with action programme Take the Tower and comedy quiz Football Genius (both Tue). And it's the final of Celebrity Masterchef (BBC1, Thu and Fri).
