We're not sure if '''100 Million or Bust''' (Radio 5, 11am Saturday) is a game show as we know it. We do know that '''Charity Lords of the Ring''' (RTE1, from Saturday) is celebrity knock-out boxing; as the name suggests, it's for charity, mate. Irish viewers also get to see '''Wanna Bet?''' (TV3, 7pm Sunday), Antan Dec's show for the Americans. BBC3 has '''[[Virgin Cooks]]''' (8pm Tuesday), Radio 4 says '''[[I Guess That's Why They Call It the News]]''' (6.30 Friday), and Challenge wonders how to play '''[[Chain Letters]]''' (3pm weekdays).
+
ITV has a brace of new shows for Saturday night: the singeing contest '''[[The X Factor|Simon Cowell Annoys]]''' (7pm) is followed by Phillip Schofield challenging ordinary people to do ordinary things in '''[[The Cube]]''' (8.30). '''[[Countdown]]''', '''[[Deal or No Deal]]''', and '''[[Perfect Recall|Wogan's Perfect Recall]]''' return from their summer breaks (C4, from 3.25 Monday), and they're joined by '''[[Pointless]]''' with Alistair Armstrong (BBC2, 4.30). BBC1 invites us to '''Wait For It..!''' (Wednesday 4.05), and the first in a new series of '''[[Mastermind]]''' graces our screens (BBC2, 8pm Friday). The big one? '''[[Shooting Stars]]''' is back for a new series (Wednesday 10pm BBC2).

A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 22 August 2009

Schedules are subject to change.

ITV has a brace of new shows for Saturday night: the singeing contest Simon Cowell Annoys (7pm) is followed by Phillip Schofield challenging ordinary people to do ordinary things in The Cube (8.30). Countdown, Deal or No Deal, and Wogan's Perfect Recall return from their summer breaks (C4, from 3.25 Monday), and they're joined by Pointless with Alistair Armstrong (BBC2, 4.30). BBC1 invites us to Wait For It..! (Wednesday 4.05), and the first in a new series of Mastermind graces our screens (BBC2, 8pm Friday). The big one? Shooting Stars is back for a new series (Wednesday 10pm BBC2).
