This week’s best telly includes two finales, two musical specials and a charity special of a Channel 4 favourite.
Here are the 7 shows you have to watch this week...
1. The Great British Bake Off
Tuesday 31st October at 8pm on Channel 4
Despite the initial furore around The Great British Bake Off moving from BBC One to Channel 4, this year's series has been very well received and has been attracting huge numbers for Channel 4. Twelve bakers started and now just three remain; Kate, Sophie and Steven - but only one can be crowned winner.
The final sees Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith set three challenges that will test every aspect of the bakers' skills. In the last signature challenge, the bakers return to bread, and the tricky task of a batch of loaves. In the technical challenge, Prue has made a simple biscuit bake very tough. There can be no room for nerves or trembling hands.
On the final day, as the bakers' families gather outside the tent, the finalists have one last challenge: a delicate, multi-layered, high-end patisserie showstopper that could win them the title.

In his own unique style, combining stand-up, visual storytelling, and real-world experimentation, this series Dave pays attention to the areas of everyday life we normally take for granted.
In the first episode, Dave explores whether a knock-off can ever be as good as the real thing. For Dave, this involves examining DVDs, baking and his favourite band, Bucks Fizz.
