TV Guide 2024-06-29

We may only just have crowned one champion, but Countdown never stops on Channel 4; a new series begins on Monday, and runs all the way to Christmas. Popmaster TV has its final (More4, Tue).

Continuing: cookery with National Trust Cook Off (ITV, Sat) and Bake Off The Professionals (C4, Mon, Tue). Love Island continues (VM2 and ITV2), and there's a new Bargain Hunt (BBC1) on Thursday. Sewing Bee is on BBC1, a day later than usual (Wed).

And with the football and tennis and voting, that is literally all the new shows we have for you. There will be a test next week.

The listings here are accurate for all the shenanigans around the football. Schedule A, Schedule B, all that jazz, we've got the facts, no razzmatazz. Except for Friday, when the broadcasters won't make their decisions till after Tuesday's matches.
