  • So Wrong It's Right - Charlie Brooker oversees a radio panel game where points are awarded for incorrect answers. (Zeppotron for BBC Radio 4).
  • Magic Numbers - live variety show built around a phone-in quiz. Piloted with Stephen Mulhern. (CPL for ITV1)
  • What Do Kids Know? - A sort of Child's Play for the 21st century, with celebrity teams trying to work out what children are talking about. Rufus Hound hosts, Sara Cox and Joe Swash are team captains. (Shine for Watch, early 2010)
  • A League of Their Own - James Corden '"referees" this comedy panel quiz, as team captains Jamie Redknapp and Stuart Broad and their guests put their sports knowledge to the test. (CPL Productions for Sky1, pilot to air late 2009)
  • Brides On a Bus - David Van Day (from pop combo David Van Day's Bucks Fizz And Dollar Featuring David Van Day Show) officiates as a bunch of brides-to-be travel on a bus to Gretna Green, doing various tasks along the way in the hope of winning their dream wedding. More thrillingly, the bus driver is none other than Radio 2 newsreading legend Charles Nove! Due on Wedding TV (is that even a real channel?) in 2010.

  • Escape in Time - twelve locks, sixty keys, four contestants, one tiger. Can they... Escape in Time? Just kidding! Actually this is a spin-off from the Victorian Farm documentary series in which two families compete at various country skills, something like Meet the Challenge goes agrestic. (Lion TV for BBC daytime)
  • Your Hobby or Mine? - people try out, then rate, each other's hobbies. If we're playing "what does that remind you of", our call would be the hobby-swap aspect of Don't Call Me Stupid combined with the scoring of Come Dine with Me. (Sky 1, early 2010)

  • Drop Zone (BBC1 in-house) - 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.
  • Dancing on Wheels (formerly Wheelchair Dancers) (Fever Media for BBC Three) - celeb/amateur couples compete in a kind of Strictly Dance Fever with wheelchairs.
