TV Guide This Week

Revision as of 06:07, 24 July 2009

A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 25 July 2009

Schedules are subject to change.

After the swathes of new shows in recent weeks, it's a quieter set of programmes this week. Gyles Brandreth is back with Knowitalls (BBC2, 6.30 Monday), in which people try to impress with their knowledge of stuff. Golden Balls (5pm Monday, ITV except Scotland) returns, as does Just a Minute (Radio 4, 6.30 Monday). And, just for good measure, this column's cockeyed tribute to Round Britain Quiz is back, leaving everyone punchdrunk even after they've seen the answer and had it explained to them.
