Coming up
- The Ultimate Tribute: A Stars in Their Eyes-type format in which the series champion will win a three-month contract to perform as part of a tribute show in Las Vegas (so it'll need to be as someone the Americans will have heard of, then). Graham Norton hosts. (Initial for BBC One)
- BrainBox: daytime puzzle show described as a "brain-games" format. That Doctor Kawashima has a lot to answer for. (BBC Manchester for BBC Two)
- Big Kidz, a CBBC show "where kids get to be grown ups and grown ups get to be kids," apparently. Kate Edmonson hosts.
- Who Dares Wins' (formerly The Rich List): make lists, get rich. Apparently contestants bid to name things in given categories, and lose if they fail to fulfil the bid. Our gameshow similarities engine whirrs into action and churns out a piece of punched card which says "90% Ask No Questions, 10% the auction round from Wipeout". After being piloted for ITV, this has been taken up by the Beeb as a lottery tie-in. Nick Knowles hosts. (12 Yard for BBC)
- Come By! - The soon-to-launch Sky channel Horse & Country has commissioned this One Man and His Dog clone (they wanted to use the name too, but unsurprisingly the BBC wouldn't let them as they're still using it themselves), to be produced by Norwich-based Great Takes TV - whose Creative Director is none other than sometime Timekeepers star Bill Dod. The show will be fronted by former 1M&hD presenter Robin Page and is pencilled in for October.
- The Great Pretender - daytime bluffing game with Chris Tarrant. (RDF for ITV1)
- Number One Soap Fan - quiz to find the nation's num... yes, you're ahead of us here. Bradley Walsh hosts.
- Saturday Night Showdown - Vernon Kay and Bruce Forsyth host what looks to be an old-style Gen Game-type Saturday night game show. Hopefully they'll come up with a better title, though. (BBC1)
- Eating With The Enemy - knockout contest for amateur chefs. James Martin is to be a "mentor". (RDF West for BBC)
- Making a Meal of It - couples are challenged to take the reins of a busy restaurant. (BBC Birmingham for BBC1 Daytime)
- Food Poker - Chefs make a dish, but first they have to win ingredients in a card game. Yes, really. (Optomen for BBC2 Daytime)
- First and Last, a show where people compete to be as average as possible, ironically to be hosted by Justin Lee Collins. Wikipedia has a description of this format. (Endemol for Channel 4).
- Beat the Host - a German format apparently being "prepped" (as they say) for the British market, in which contestants take on the host (yet to be named) in a series of games. (Diverse, channel TBA)
- Battle of the Exes - one-off relationship game show with Alex Zane and Jenny Frost. (E4)
- Click City sends kids on a treasure hunt with mobile phones. (Lion TV, channel unknown)
- Space Pirates: virtual reality adventure game for children. (Lion TV, channel unknown)
- Best in Preschool: Lorraine Kelly and Dominic Wood test pre-schoolers on stuff. (ITV1, later this year)
- Extreme: thecustard.tv says: "game show featuring men aged 45 to 60 competing in dangerous challenges". (ITV1)
- The Swot Team: quiz in which contestants take on child prodigies. (BBC One)
- Celebrity Bowls: Celebrity bowls. With Gail Porter. Apparently. (Channel 4)
- Big Bluffer - famous faces gamble their own money on the outcome of stunts. Hosted by Alex Zane. (Zeppotron(?) for Channel 4)
- Tough Decisions, a comedy quiz with Patrick McGuinness (Objective for E4)
- Dawns-Tastig (Dancetastic), S4C prepares to jump onto the dance-based reality bandwagon with this contest for 11-14 years old. Winners get performance with dance group in a Pineapple Studios production in London (Apollo for S4C)
