Alan Carr searches for Britain's hidden geniuses in a fresh and entertaining take on the popular quiz format. The charismatic host teams up with "responsible adult" Susie Dent to crown some of the UK's most intelligent individuals.
In this first heat, 12 ordinary people compete in brain-busting challenges that test their mental agility. These contestants may look like average Joes but possess exceptional IQs, ranging from a hotel receptionist and drag queen who taught her sheepdog sign language to a tree surgeon with just four GCSEs.
Throughout the episode, Alan Carr injects his signature wit and charm, providing colour commentary on each contestant's performance. Whether someone correctly solves a tricky math problem or hilariously struggles with a popular dance tune like the Cha Cha Slide, they are all entertainingly portrayed by Carr.
As viewers follow along at home, they can also play along with the game, adding an extra layer of engagement to this light-hearted and fun programme. The first heat will eventually narrow down to the top contestants, who will then face off in a final showdown in Oxford.
Meanwhile, on BBC Two, Colin Howell's astonishing confession has shaken the nation. This is part two of a documentary exploring the life and crime of Northern Ireland dentist Colin Howell, who handed himself into police 18 years after his double murder convictions were deemed as a double suicide.
What prompted him to come clean? The second instalment delves into this question, revealing more about the pressures that ultimately led Colin to surrender. Will he reveal any new information or shed light on what drives such desperation in individuals?

In a recent documentary, this captivating story was revealed in depth. Now, viewers get to experience the trials and tribulations that accompany pursuing one's passion for exploration.
Astronautics is no easy feat, but through perseverance and practice, it can become achievable. The programme shows how crucial support from family and friends is, as well as overcoming personal fears and doubts.
In another episode of "The Night Manager" on BBC One, Tom Hiddleston stars in the thrilling story of a rogue agent who infiltrates Colombian politics to bring down his arch-nemesis Gilberto Hanson.
As tensions rise between rival factions, our protagonist must navigate complex allegiances and secrets. The series reaches its climax as he works tirelessly to uncover the truth and defeat his adversary once and for all.

it's not just about the technical skills but also mental preparation and support from loved ones 
- Britain's Got Brainpower or whatever is out there, it just reminds me that some people are way smarter than others and that's just not fair 
. And then I see Colin Howell, a dentist who murdered two people, getting to share his story on BBC Two... what's the point of even having a second chance after 18 years? 
. And don't even get me started on "The Beckham Feud: Truth & Lies" - like we need more drama in our lives 
. And then there's "Mock the Week", a show that's supposed to be funny but really just comes across as mean-spirited 
. Not my cup of tea, not at all

Just kidding ( sort of) - but seriously, can't we just fast forward through the Premier League season already? 
! Who knew hotel receptionists could be total math whizzes or drag queens with sign language skills? 
And Alan's wit and charm are on point as always - I need more of this on TV! 
Can't wait to see who makes it to the final showdown in Oxford, fingers crossed for a brainy Brit win
