A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the seven days beginning 6 December 2008

Schedules are subject to change.

Two new shows from Wales look set to brighten up our Sunday: Jest a Minute (Radio Wales, 2pm) is a comedy panel game, and Mastermind Plant Cymru is the children's version of the Welsh-language edition. Radio 3's biennial Choir of the Year takes place this Sunday (Radio 3, 7pm Monday; BBC4, 8pm Friday), and Carol Vorderman bids farewell to Countdown (C4, from 2.55 Friday).
