TV Guide 2014-09-20

Battle is joined on Friday. Two massive egos enter the arena. One is a slick, choreographed operation, hyped to the gills. The other looks rickety and ruined but always seems to come out on top. By Sunday night, one will leave, blooded and defeated. That's the Ryder Cup, Friday on Radio 5. A game, but not as this site understands it.

New runs of Counterpoint (R4, 3pm Mon) and Release the Hounds (ITV2, 9pm Mon). Two new series for children: The Munch Box (CITV, 8.30am Sat), and Sam and Mark's Sports Showdown (CBBC, 5pm Fri). Paul Merton talks Just a Minute with Nicholas Parsons (Radio 4 Extra, 9am Fri). And The X Factor (ITV, 9pm Fri) goes up against Strictly Come Dancing (BBC1, 9pm Fri).
