TV Guide 2025-01-11
Voting closes on Sunday for the Bother's Bar / UKGameshows.com Poll of the Year 2024, where you the reader can tell us the best and worst new shows of the old year.
A new run of Dancing on Ice begins (VM1 and ITV, Sun), hosted by one of television's most brilliant presenters and also Stephen Mulhern. Love Island All Stars is also back (VM1 and ITV2, from Mon), and The Satellite Channel offers A League of Their Own (Thu).
Civilian quizzes continue, we get to play Popmaster TV (More4, Tue) and Beat the Chasers (ITV, Thu). On the channels, Síorstil (TG4, Wed) turns discarded fabric into new clothes. Last Bite Hotel (Food Network, Tue) gives its cooks some ingredients, and never replaces them.
