TV Guide 2023-04-22

A choice of viewing on Monday night. The Mastermind final (BBC2), and I'm a Celebrity South Africa with many old contestants (VM1 and ITV network, continues all week).

It's the Interior Design Masters final (BBC1, Tue), the feast on Farm to Feast: Best Menu Wins (BBC1 NI, Fri), and we're sorry to hear that the new series of The News Quiz (R4, Fri) is ill.
