==A guide to game shows for the week commencing Saturday 16 December 2006==

This page probably isn't the stuff of legends, but it is remarkably large. Over the next 16,000 characters, we detail every game show set to air on major UK television and radio channels for the two weeks commencing Saturday 23 December 2006. We're not going to list highlights, though new series and some stars are linked in.

We're not going to list highlights, though new series and some stars are linked in.
