TV Guide 2023-07-15
Everyone's favourite intellectual pursuit returns this week. Tipping Point Lucky Stars (ITV network, Sun) features Christopher Biggins. Evidently he was overlooked for the host's job on University Challenge (BBC2, Mon); we also have new Only Connect (BBC2, Mon).
More intellectual pursuits as Are You the One? returns on MTV (Mon) with an international series. It's the final for The Voice Kids (ITV, Sat).
