THIS WEEK, I’M WATCHING...

The Apprentice BBC1, Wednesday, 9pm Alan Sugar is back in the hotseat as another group of preening numpties arrives in the boardroom brimming with confidence that will, as the weeks progress, be utterly shredded. Have I Got News For You BBC1, Friday, 9pm The witty and topical news quiz returns for an astonishing 56th series (there are two a year) with team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton. It almost feels like the official start of autumn. The Graham Norton Show BBC1, Friday, 10.35pm There’s added Irish interest this week as Imelda May, left, performs with actor and musician Jeff Goldblum, while Rowan Atkinson, Jamie Lee Curtis and Gary Barlow are on the couch.
