TV Guide 2021-06-26

It's the bonus round in Mark Pougatch's The World Cup European Edition of Last Year This Year, where the broadcasters tell us about Schedule A and Schedule B, and then use Schedule They Actually Put Out Because Nobody Thought This Would Happen.

Actual games are thin on the ground, but those we have are good and/or popular. Love Island is back (VM1 and ITV2, from Mon). Countdown has a new host (C4, from Mon), and it's a golden edition of Dan's Quiz (The Internets, Thu).
