TV Guide This Week

Contents

A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 9 January 2010

Schedules are subject to change.

Highlight of the week is the television premiere of Slumdog Millionaire, which gives Channel 4 an excuse to show the Indian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire (11.30 Wednesday). Other new shows this week are Jump Nation (BBC2, 8.30am Saturday), the topical news quiz for Irish viewers That's All We Have Time For (RTE1, 11.55pm Saturday), What Do Kids Know? (Watch, 5pm Sunday), the imported True Beauty (Viva, from 10pm Monday), and Popstar to Operastar (ITV, 9pm Friday). Lots of other shows pick up from their winter break: Are You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old? (The Satellite Channel, 9pm Sunday), Countdown, Perfect Recall, and Come Dine with Me (C4 weekdays, from 3.25). There's a profile of Humphrey Lyttelton on Jazz Greats (Radio 4, 1.30 Tuesday), and ITV2 inflicts new series of Hell's Kitchen and Pop Idle. Imported series, naturally.
