TV Guide This Week

Contents

A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 22 August 2009

Schedules are subject to change.

ITV has a brace of new shows for Saturday night: the singeing contest Simon Cowell Annoys (7pm) is followed by Phillip Schofield challenging ordinary people to do ordinary things in The Cube (8.30). Countdown, Deal or No Deal, and Wogan's Perfect Recall return from their summer breaks (C4, from 3.25 Monday), and they're joined by Pointless with Alistair Armstrong (BBC2, 4.30). BBC1 invites us to Wait For It..! (Wednesday 4.05), and the first in a new series of Mastermind graces our screens (BBC2, 8pm Friday). The big one? Shooting Stars is back for a new series (Wednesday 10pm BBC2).
