(9pm, Sunday, BBC2)<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Amazing Race Australia<\/strong> &#8211; The final (we think, unless it&#8217;s a secret two parter). I&#8217;ve really enjoyed this race, it&#8217;s made a load of good decisions such as keeping the kick-them-when-they&#8217;re-down elements to a minimum and making it much more than a series of point to point hauls by giving them some sort of task at pretty much every location. Although perhaps the greatest things TARA has given us is really good contestants and producers treating the viewers with some semblance of intelligence. Not for Australians heavily signposted things like subtitles of mistakes and rasping sounds, oh no. (Monday, Seven Network)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pointless<\/strong> &#8211; it is fair to say that this has been on fire during the previous week, Rickrolling the nation and having a team pull off an amazing bluff in the head to head amongst other things. The French version, <strong>Personne n&#8217;y Avait Pens\u00e9!<\/strong> (<em>No-one Thought<\/em> according to Google Translate)\u00a0began last week and has lost a bit of the fun in translation. There&#8217;s no French Richard Osman! Tragedy.

(5:15pm, Weekdays, BBC1)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take the Money and Run<\/strong> &#8211; This week&#8217;s new show that we are interested in, co-produced by Wild Rover of <strong>Secret Fortune<\/strong> fame. Two people are given a suitcase with $100k and are given one hour to hide it. Then actual real law enforcement people get 48 hours to find it. It sounds a bit\u00a0like a high budget version of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ukgameshows.com\/ukgs\/The_Interrogators\">The Interrogators<\/a><\/strong>, a show few will remember. It&#8217;s nice to see this sort of thing can still get comissioned, I hope it&#8217;s great. (Tuesday, ABC)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fort Boyard 2011<\/strong> &#8211; Episode six of seven of what&#8217;s been a highly enjoyable series and it&#8217;s a team made up with lots of swimmers. It&#8217;s a shame that whilst they&#8217;ve sorted out the key game music, they&#8217;ve messed up the adventure music quite badly &#8211; where are the tunes?
