A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 22 May 2010
Schedules are subject to change.
It's Eurovision Song Contest week, with the semi-finals on BBC3 (8pm Tuesday and Thursday, also RTE2). Mastermind comes to an end (BBC2, 8pm Friday), ITV has a new run at The Chase (5pm weekdays, not Scotland), and it's finals week for Junior Masterchef (BBC1, 4.35 Wed - Fri). The week's biggie is The Million Pound Drop (C4, 10pm from Monday), in which the lovely Davina invites people to take a million quid home.
