Mastermind
BBC2, 7.30pm
Bringing exactly the right mix of firm, understated authority and brisk practicality, Clive Myrie (right) instantly establishes himself as a natural in his debut as the Mastermind quizmaster, and by the end of the opening episode of the new series you'll feel as if the BBC news veteran has been doing it for decades.
Over the 31 episodes, there'll be 96 contestants, all hoping to make it through to become one of the six finalists contending for the champion's crystal vase.
The format is reassuringly the same as always, with a two-minute specialist round for each of the four players – in this week's opening episode the subjects are the geography of Switzerland, the family of Tsar Nicholas II, Roger Moore and Bruce Springsteen. That's followed by the two-and-a-half-minute test of general knowledge to decide the winner.
