TV Guide This Week

Revision as of 07:31, 13 October 2008

A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the seven days beginning 11 October 2008

Schedules are subject to change.

Highlights this week:

The X Factor Marathon (ITV, ITV2, and TV3 from 7.15 Saturday)

Not that we're saying it goes on a bit, it's just that next week's Election Night programme on CBC is a quarter-hour shorter.

Britain's Got the Pop Factor and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice (Channel 4, from 8pm Sunday)

Peter Kay spoofs TV talent shows.

Going for Gold (C5, 12.45 weekdays)

A revival of One To Win, now presented by John Suchet.

Last Man Standing (BBC3, 9pm Tuesday)

Another series of the tribal sporting festivals series.

Election (BBC1, 4.35 Thursday)

And speaking of election nights, here's one for the children.

Have I Got News for You (BBC1, 9pm Friday)

The topical comedy returns, with Fern Britton reading the autocue.
