The Poll of the Year 2007 results are in! A big thank you to everyone that voted and congratulations to Adam Wurtzel, our randomly picked voter who won himself ten quid!
While UKGameshows.com is (even if we say so ourselves) the most comprehensive guide to the genre anywhere on - or off - the web, with over 1500 programmes already in our database it is inevitable that even we're stumped sometimes.

A number of our "most wanted" shows are now listed here and a team of volunteers is standing by, waiting to add your contributions to our compendium of game show knowledge. Go on, help us out. It's what Mumsy would want.
