Still, what better way to celebrate a Bank Holiday (in the UK) by someone hopefully putting it up on YouTube, or other video sharing site?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pointless <\/strong>(Monday-Friday, 4:30pm, BBC2): Thanks to Perfection not being able to record things properly, the third series of popular Alexander Armstrong quiz has been bought forward. Now apparently includes a modified second round where you need to show some knowledge of the thing you intend to pick.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fangarna pa Fortet<\/strong> (TV4 and online, Sweden, Monday- Wednesday): There may well be some squiggly things above some of those letters, but it&#8217;s late and I&#8217;m tired. <em>The Prisoners on the Fort<\/em>&#8216;s return to Swedish screens seems to by all accounts be a big success, and has probably made a better job at a competitive version than even the French. Or at least has\u00a0retained some of the old personality. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tv4play.se\/noje_och_humor\/fangarna_pa_fortet\">You can watch them here<\/a>. Two more heats and the grand final on Wednesday.<\/li>\n<li><strong>America&#8217;s Got Talent <\/strong>(America, Tuesday, Wednesday 8:00 EDT\/0000 GMT): We&#8217;re four shows into this week&#8217;s Board of Excitement, and only one of them is British. Or perhaps two if you count <em>America&#8217;s Got Talent<\/em> which is as good as.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A party<\/strong> (Friday): Alex is off to a party. I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re invited \ud83d\ude41<\/li>\n<li><strong>Two weeks to it being the next Schlag den Raab<\/strong> (Saturday night): Self explanatory.<\/li>\n<li><strong>University Challenge<\/strong> (8pm, Monday, BBC2) &#8211; Newcastle vs Sheffield.
