TV Guide 2016-11-05

A great week for Paul Sinha fans. He's on The Chase (ITV, weekdays). And he joins Mark and Anne as they take on the Tipping Point machine (ITV, Saturday). And he's a newcomer on Round Britain Quiz (Radio 4, Monday). Also new to the highbrow panel: Stuart Maconie.

Some new shows don't involve the Sinnerman. The Next Great Magician (ITV, Sunday) has Stephen Mulhern and Rochelle Humes finding exactly that. There's a new run of Sion a Sian (S4C, Friday).

Foodies will enjoy Junior Bake Off (CBBC, weekdays) with Sam and Mark, and Masterchef The Professionals (BBC2, from Tuesday). Last in the series of My Kitchen Rules (C4, weekdays).
