We&#8217;ve got lots of (some)\u00a0competitions coming up, and fingers crossed two shows to go and see and write about before the end of the month. But what about this week, eh?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Cube <\/strong>&#8211; Last celebrity special, I think, with Jennie McAlpine and Ricky Hatton. Watch out for a new game for Ricky, &#8220;Hat On&#8221;, can he throw a hat onto a hat stand for \u00a3250,000? (Sunday, 8pm, ITV)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Famous and Fearless <\/strong>&#8211; i.e. it&#8217;s The Games EXTREME. Chris Evans and Claire Balding invite celebs to do extreme sports live every night this week, beginning with a two hour special this evening an concluding Friday. The question on everybody&#8217;s lips is, of course, will there be an accident?\u00a0(Sunday, 8pm, C4)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poll of the Year 2010 <\/strong>&#8211; This is so exciting, apparently there is a budget for ACTUAL TROPHIES to send to the winners this year. Look out for the details tomorrow, and find out just <em>what is<\/em> replacing the Golden Fiver? (Monday, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ukgameshows.com\">UKGameshows.com<\/a>\/Bother&#8217;s Bar)<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Chase <\/strong>&#8211; New series of last year&#8217;s sleeper hit\u00a0for Bradley Walsh and chums (Monday, 5pm, ITV1)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2010 <\/strong>&#8211; This is SO last year. (Monday, 9:30pm, C4)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Penn and Teller: Fool Us <\/strong>&#8211; Blimey, midweek is a bit dull. Anyway I was interested in seeing this partly because Penn and Teller are awesome, and partly because Peter Davey off of <strong>The Mole<\/strong> is producing, which makes us more confident of this than <em>The Magicians<\/em> on BBC1. Unfortunately we weren&#8217;t successful in getting a ticket but Geek Comedian Tom Scott was and sent us a recording report which I will put up on Friday. Anyway here magicians try and impress P and T in a bid to earn a slot in a Vegas show.\u00a0(Friday, 9pm, ITV1)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total Wipeout <\/strong>&#8211; Anyway, new series of this. Let&#8217;s hope it doesn&#8217;t succumb to last year&#8217;s really stupid scheduling. (Saturday, 6pm, BBC1). NOTE: I&#8217;m a bit bored of the US one which has become a bit one note, but I should point out that <strong>Winter Wipeout<\/strong> begins Thursday night on ABC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Edit: <\/strong>It would be remiss of us to not\u00a0point out that <strong>Million Dollar Money Drop<\/strong> continues on Thursday night on Fox &#8211; the holidays are over, it will have nowhere to hide.
