Introduction
Welcome to UKGameshows.com, the website that was talking when the whistle went. We currently have 6,008 articles for you to read. Here are some of our newest articles. Enjoy your visit, and please use the Feedback form below if you have any information to add to our site.

Poll of the Year 2023 - RESULTS ARE IN!
Thanks for all your votes! They've been counted and the write up is now available, with all your usual witty comments and acute observations.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic turned everything upside down, and the world of game shows is no exception, so we now have a dedicated page to keep tabs on the shows affected. Do give us a shout if you know of something we've missed.
The 100 Most Popular Game Shows
One question you almost certainly haven't been asking yourself is "What are the 100 most popular articles on this site?". Well, tough, because we have and you can see the result of our Greatest Game Shows - now updated for 2022 and ranging from stalwarts like The Crystal Maze and Interceptor to, er, Man O Man. Who knew?
While UKGameshows.com is (even if we say so ourselves) the most comprehensive guide to the genre anywhere on - or off - the web, with over 2100 programmes already in our database it is inevitable that even we're stumped sometimes. So we're asking for your help. A number of our "most wanted" shows are now listed here and a team of volunteers is standing by, waiting to add your contributions to our compendium of game show knowledge. Go on, help us out. It's what Mumsy would want.

Game show news
The BBC announced another civilian and celebrity series for Bridge of Lies after the third civilian series reached an audience of 1.4 million and the second celebrity series achieving a peak of 2.3 million viewers. The fourth civilian series will again be comprised of 25 episodes and the third celebrity series will be extended to 10 episodes. Both series will air in early 2025.
The original referee on Gladiators, John Anderson has died. He was 92. A tough but firm presence on screen, he started almost every event with the catchphrase "Contender - Ready! Gladiator - Ready!" Anderson was also an athletics coach, guiding international stars including Judy Simpson and Dave Moorcroft.
The Fortune Hotel has been given a second series by ITV. The critically acclaimed show, broadly similar to The Traitors, achieved a peak of 3.1 million viewers when its eight-episode run was stripped across the primetime schedule in May for two weeks with a further 5.9 million streams on ITVX.
A third series of Riddiculous has been announced by ITV. The second series that aired in January garnered its biggest audience to date with an average of 1.3 million viewers in the 3pm slot and over 2.7 million streams on ITVX. Series 3, like Series 2, will consist of 25 episodes.
While BBC One will be fully occupied with this year's Summer Olympics from Paris, France, BBC Four will be showing some classic Saturday Night shows from the archives for the next three Saturday nights from 27 July to 10 August. Game shows include The Generation Game, Blankety Blank, Bob's Full House, Noel's House Party and the very first episode of Strictly Come Dancing.
