TV Guide 2022-11-19
A massive international contest begins this week, Canada's Drag Race vs The World comes to BBC3 (Sun). You Won't Believe This (C4, Tue) is a challenge to interrogate and find facts or fibs.
There's also some sportsball, which causes major disruption to daytime schedules. In the evenings, BBC2 has lots of Celebrity Antiques Road Trips.
Quizzy Mondays is on Monday this week. The highlight is the BBC Brain final (Radio 4). Also the final of RuPaul's Drag Race (BBC3, Thu), and Young Jazz Musician of the Year (BBC4, Sun).
