Intellectual pastimes return on the BBC: Celebrity Mastermind (BBC1, Sat), and QI (BBC2, Fri).

In between, ITV is a little less rigorous. Queens for the Night (Sat) gets celebrities to drag up. The Masked Singer has a special edition (Sun), followed by the new run of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.
