Coming up
- Four in a Bed - Daytime spin-off of Three in a Bed (Studio Lambert for Channel 4, 2011)
- Impossible? - Illusionist Philip Escoffey invites contestants to guess whether a series of challenges he intends to perform can be completed or are impossible. Contestants who guess correctly are rewarded with cash. (Gogglebox Entertainment and Group M Entertainment for Channel Five, 2011)
- The Magicians - Across five episodes, three master magicians, each week partnered with a different celebrity assistant, compete to wow and amaze a studio audience with their magic tricks and stunts, in an attempt to be voted the best magician. (Shine TV for BBC1, Early 2011)
- Four Rooms (working title) - Members of the public bring along their collectibles to sell to one of four buyers. However, they can only hear each buyer's offer one at a time, and they cannot go back to an offer once they have rejected it, meaning they must decide whether to stick with the offer they have received, or move onto the buyer in the next room in the hope their offer might be better. (TalkbackThames for Channel 4, Spring 2011)
- Mark Watson Kicks Off - TV adaptation of Fighting Talk. (World's End for ITV4)
- The Great British Hairdresser - Ten hopefuls are given a series of tasks by stylist James Brown, with one hopeful being eliminated each week. The last remaining hopeful at the end of the series wins the chance to style a celebrity for a photo shoot, and a position working alongside Brown. (Splash Media for E4, 2011)
- Love Bus - Dating show in which a contestant looking for love boards a bus, and is introduced to potential suitors at each bus stop. Each suitor has only the time it takes the bus to reach the next stop to impress, or they will be dropped off, and the suitor waiting at the bus stop will take their place. At the end of the journey, whichever suitor is still on the bus goes on a date with the love-seeking contestant. Zoe Salmon hosts. (Carbon Media for Fiver)
- Perfection - Contestants are asked a series of true or false questions. However should they get just one wrong, then one of three other players can steal the game from them. The final sees the contestant in play attempt to win the jackpot, either on their own, or with the help of another player, in return for a share of jackpot. Nick Knowles hosts. (12 Yard for BBC Two Daytime, Winter 2010)
- A Dream Life In The Country - Nine couples compete to win an agricultural smallholding rent-free for a year. Presented by Jimmy Doherty, as is the law. (BBC Two, autumn 2010)
- The Beat Goes On - two teams of three compete in singing, dancing and music trivia rounds. Your host is Dave Berry. (Gallowgate / Group M for Five, late 2010/early 2011)
- Wannabe - Talent show along the lines of Let Me Entertain You. Claudia Winkleman hosts. (Channel 4, autumn 2010)
- Splatalot - A Medieval-themed physical gameshow which sees a group of 12 teens, known as 'Attackers', travel to that well-known Medieval location of Toronto to compete against a group of Medieval Gladiators, known as the 'Defenders' in a series of three rounds - Cross the Moat, Storm the Castle, and Steal the Crown - with the last Attacker standing being declared the Prince or Princess of Splatalot. (marblemedia in association with the BBC, YTV Canada and ABC Australia for CBBC, Spring 2011)
- Michel Roux's Service (formerly At Your Service) - Restaurateur Michel Roux Jr. takes eight young people aged 17-24, and over eight weeks trains them in the art of providing the perfect front-of-house restaurant service. Probably not hugely gameshowy, though at the end of the series, two of the eight receive a six-month scholarship with the Academy of Food and Wine, where they can develop and refine their newfound skills. (Ricochet / Million Media for BBC Two, 2010)
- Monte Carlo or Bust - Three pairs of celebrities - Jack Dee & Ade Edmondson, Jodie Kidd & Julian Clary, and Penny Smith & Rory McGrath - journey from London to Monte Carlo, completing tasks along the way. (ITV Studios and Modern Television for ITV1, 2010)
- The Hairy Bikers Cook-Off (formerly Britain's Best Cooking Family) - The Hairy Bikers present another daytime cookery show. It looks like it will have various parts to it, but the main hook is a competition between two families each day. Hence the title. (BBC Entertainment for BBC Two)
- Trade Your Way to the USA - Children take part in buying and selling challenges, with the best being taken to the USA for the final. (CBBC in-house)
- Meet the Parents - Hidden-camera-type show in which men supposedly meet their girlfriends' parents for the first time, except that the parents are actually actors who secretly put them through various challenges. A twist on My New Best Friend, essentially. (Objective for E4, pilot)
- Give Us a Clue - the charades-based game looks set for a revival following a pilot with George Lamb as chairman and Kirsten O'Brien and Rufus Hound as captains. (TalkbackThames for whoever wants it)
- Fight for Me - The people behind Walking with Dinosaurs and Primeval do a "fighting robots" show. The world says "it's a bit like Robot Wars". We say, "more like FightBox, surely?" (Impossible Pictures / ITV Studios for ITV1)
- The Village - A bunch of townies move into the North Yorkshire village of Grassington, and the existing residents vote for who gets to stay. (Studio Lambert for Channel 4)
- Date Me Baby One More Time: One half of a recently separated couple tells the story of their break-up, before staging a stunt in public to try to win back their ex. (TwentyTwenty for BBC3, pilot 2010)
- Cat Deeley's Treasure Hunt (formerly Treasure Tag): Contestants follow a treasure trail around London, banking money along the way, then play for it in a studio-based endgame. Co-created by Deeley and Eurythmics chap David A Stewart, apparently. (Whizzkid Entertainment pilot)
- Bank It or Bin It: Contestants are asked to guess which of two things is more valuable. (Monkey Kingdom for Sky1, pilot 2010)
- This Kid Could Change the World: Children put forward their ideas to change the world and compete to see whose idea is best. (Shine for CBBC)
- Secret Fortune - The inevitable hybrid of Deal or No Deal-style elimination game and In It to Win It-style multiple choice quizzery. A set of cheques in sealed envelopes are eliminated one by one and the last one contains the player's "secret fortune". Nick Knowles hosts. To be tied into the National Lottery. (Wild Rover/BBC Northern Ireland for BBC One, 2010)
- Drop Zone - Sounding like a cross between Lost and The Amazing Race, teams are dropped by helicopter into an unfamiliar location, where they must complete tasks. Last team back to the helicopter gets left behind and is eliminated. Steve Jones hosts. (BBC1 in-house, 2010)
