TV Guide This Week

Contents

A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 17 January 2009

Schedules are subject to change.

After the zillions of new shows last week, we're a little short on debuts this week. Escape from Scorpion Island (BBC2, 9am Sunday) is our highlight, as the teams bid to get off the island. The grand final for Brain of Britain (Radio 4, 1.30 Monday) includes the newest Egghead against the last-but-one Mastermind champion. And if the overdose of talent shows is getting you down, Radio Active punctures the genre (BBC7, 8.30am and 10pm Friday) with Mike Says... Here's a Bit of Talent.
