TV Guide 2020-06-13
Some new shows on Channel 4, with Four in a Bed and Come Dine with Me back for your teatime entertainment. With other quizzes in repeats for the third month, we're pleased to see some new programmes.
Nostalgia of a different kind on Big Brother Best Shows Ever (E4, Sun-Thu), Davina McCall and Rylan Clark-Neal present some of their favourite episodes.
On Radio 4, a new series of The Unbelievable Truth (Mon). And, for what we fear will be the last time, a new episode of Eggheads (BBC2, Mon).
