A guide to game shows in the UK and Ireland for week commencing 16 October 2010
It's a relatively quiet week for new shows, perhaps the biggest is a new series of Never Mind the Buzzcocks (BBC2, 10pm Thursday). That's followed by Mark Watson Kicks Off (ITV4, 10.35 Thursday). Earlier, Party Wars (UK Living, 10pm Monday) is Four Weddings for things other than weddings, Trapped has new episodes (CBBC, 4.30 weekdays), and Have I Got A Bit More News for You is also back (BBC2, 9pm Saturday).
