TV Guide 2015-09-26

Remember Benchmark? The daytime quiz hosted by Paddy McGuinness had some celebrity episodes made, and they're going out on Channel 4 from Saturday. In a death slot, opposite Strictly Come Dancing. We expect Swashbuckle (Cbeebies, Sat and Sun) to be more popular.

Also: the return of All-Star Mr and Mrs (ITV, Wed), The Almost Impossible Game Show (ITV2, Thu) and Channel 4's music department invites us to Blink (Thu).
