- | + | Highlights this week: | |
- | + | Dance is the order of the week, with the '''[[Strictly Come Dancing]]''' final (BBC1, Saturday evening), a '''challenge match''' (BBC1, 8.30 Tuesday) and a '''historical perspective''' (BBC1, Friday evening); there's also an examination of the art on BBC4 from Monday, and viewers in Wales get a chance to go '''Cha-Cha Gethin''' (S4C, 5.55 Tuesday). Also this week are the annual '''[[One Man and His Dog]]''' contest (BBC2, 4.20 Saturday), a '''[[Any Dream Will Do|Joseph]] and [[How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?|Maria]]''' musical concert (BBC1, 7pm Monday), and another chance to see '''[[The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]''' (BBC1, 9.30 weekdays). Esoteric highlights include a twenty-year anniversary edition of '''Questions Pour un Champion''' (TV5, 8pm Saturday), and we're amused to see that ITV shows a programme about '''[[Star Traders|turning rubbish into money]]''' (8.15 Saturday) on the same night as '''[[ITV Play]]''' closes its doors for good (4.10am Sunday). | |

+ | Strongmen and brains are the headlines for the new year. Strength is tested in '''[[World's Strongest Man]]''' (C5, 8pm, from Sunday), mental agility in the '''[[Brain of Britain]]''' final (Radio 4, 1.30 Monday) and '''[[Mastermind|Celebrity Mastermind]]''' (BBC1, weeknights). We're particularly looking forward to seeing John Humphrys test [[William G. Stewart]]'s knowledge (Monday) and seeing [[Kaye Adams]] and [[Nicholas Parsons]] (Friday). ITV has gimmicks - '''[[No. 1 Soap Fan]]''' (7pm Saturday) - and the tried and tested '''[[Who Wants to be a Millionaire?|Celebrity Millionaire]]''' (8pm Tuesday). C4's '''[[The Big Fat Quiz of the Year]]''' premieres at 9pm Sunday, and the channel begins the year as it means to go on, with the '''[[Big Brother|Big Brother Celebrity Hijack]]''' (from Thursday). '''[[Countdown]]''' returns to anchor the daytime schedule, and '''[[Golden Balls]]''' begins its second spin (both from Wednesday). | ||

Revision as of 18:13, 3 January 2008

A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the fourteen days beginning 22 December 2007
Highlights this week:
Dance is the order of the week, with the Strictly Come Dancing final (BBC1, Saturday evening), a challenge match (BBC1, 8.30 Tuesday) and a historical perspective (BBC1, Friday evening); there's also an examination of the art on BBC4 from Monday, and viewers in Wales get a chance to go Cha-Cha Gethin (S4C, 5.55 Tuesday). Also this week are the annual One Man and His Dog contest (BBC2, 4.20 Saturday), a Joseph and Maria musical concert (BBC1, 7pm Monday), and another chance to see The Sorcerer's Apprentice (BBC1, 9.30 weekdays). Esoteric highlights include a twenty-year anniversary edition of Questions Pour un Champion (TV5, 8pm Saturday), and we're amused to see that ITV shows a programme about turning rubbish into money (8.15 Saturday) on the same night as ITV Play closes its doors for good (4.10am Sunday).

There was a pull out 'n' throw away section devoted to over-priced cruises around the Aegean here, but we've pulled it out and thrown it away, so you don't have to bother. We're nice like that.
Week 2
Highlights this week:
Strongmen and brains are the headlines for the new year. Strength is tested in World's Strongest Man (C5, 8pm, from Sunday), mental agility in the Brain of Britain final (Radio 4, 1.30 Monday) and Celebrity Mastermind (BBC1, weeknights). We're particularly looking forward to seeing John Humphrys test William G. Stewart's knowledge (Monday) and seeing Kaye Adams and Nicholas Parsons (Friday). ITV has gimmicks - No. 1 Soap Fan (7pm Saturday) - and the tried and tested Celebrity Millionaire (8pm Tuesday). C4's The Big Fat Quiz of the Year premieres at 9pm Sunday, and the channel begins the year as it means to go on, with the Big Brother Celebrity Hijack (from Thursday). Countdown returns to anchor the daytime schedule, and Golden Balls begins its second spin (both from Wednesday).
