TV Guide This Week

Contents

A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 1 May 2010

Schedules are subject to change.

The bank holiday is marked by marathons of popular series - QI (Sat) and Have I Got News for You (Sun) on Dave, er, Basil's Game Show (Sat afternoon) on CBBC, er, er, Celeb Millionaire (Mon) on Challenge and Total Wipeout US on Watch (Mon). Virgin 1 finally brings World's Strongest Man to free television (6pm Sun), and Watch unleashes puke-quizzing on Scream If You Know the Answer (7pm Sun). CBBC is effortlessly cool with Mission 2110 (5.45 Mo-We). It's the final week of campaigning in the Gameshow General Election 2010, and Richard Bacon explains the voting system on Fighting Talk (12 noon Mon). Ballots close at 10pm next Thursday, and reaction on all channels includes some themed game shows on Channel 4 (from, er, 9pm).
