There are panel shows galore tonight, and Pointless's Richard Osman hosts the most ambitious of all, assessing the best of the decade in the five categories of film, television show, song, celebrity and "new thing". Celebrity guests who will be arguing out their top choices include Jon Richardson, Lorraine Kelly, Alex Brooker and Rhianna Dhillon, while viewers can have their own say via a Twitter poll in the run-up to the show. Will Malala win celebrity of the decade, or will it be Kanye West?

Generation Game on a Sunday night? That's sacrilege!

In terms of what we should expect from prime time Easter television, this fell well short of the mark. And it focuses the mind on what we should be saying to those responsible for entertainment at the BBC: stop trying to revisit the past. Go away and think up some original ideas.
