TV Guide 2017-08-05

Running and throwing dominate BBC television this week, so new games are few and far between. Just a Minute returns for its latest run (Radio 4, Mon), the BBC New Comedy Award hits Edinburgh (Radio 4 Extra, Tue & Wed), and A Premier League of Their Own (The Satellite Channel, Thu) promotes men's football. Apparently, men can play football too.
