TV Guide 2018-02-17

Talking without hesitation, repetition, deviation, dragons, or repetition on Just a Minute (R4, Mon). Fans of brawn will like Australian Ninja Warrior (Challenge, Sun); fans of braised meats might like The Restaurant (TV3, Wed), if you can get that Irish channel.

It's the final of Fferm Ffactor Selebs (S4C, Tue), and of outdoorsy challenge Ar y Dibyn (S4C, Fri). And, after nine years of competition, we find the ultimate general knowledge winner on Brain of Britain Top Brain (R4, Mon)
