TV Guide 2016-08-06

Oh, rheostats. The BBC is giving a lot of time to events in Rio de Janiero, so Pointless moves to BBC2, Eggheads knocks on to 7, and 5-Star Family Reunion is shelved for a few weeks. We share your disappointment.

Fifteen-to-One reaches its final (C4, Thu), the BBC New Comedy Award begins its semi-final (Radio 4 Extra, Fri), and one last chance to catch up on Taking The Next Step (CBBC, Sat and Sun; new ep Mon).
