TV Guide This Week

Revision as of 12:49, 11 November 2007

A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the seven days beginning 10 November 2007

Schedules are subject to change.

New and notable this week:

Codex (C4, 5.45 Saturday)

More night-time excursions with the Sheriff of Nottingham

Mastermind Cymru (S4C, 8.30 Sunday)

Betsan Powys invites four more people to take the short walk.

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (Radio 4, 6.30 Monday)

Rob Brydon, from Croydon. Not that we're implying Rob's from Croydon, oh no.

Postcode Challenge (STV/Grampian, 8pm Monday)

The challenge for people in the same postcode: be more cheerful than host Carol Smillie.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! (ITV, from 9pm Monday)

Oh no not again.

Never Mind the Buzzcocks (BBC2, 9pm Thursday)

Another round of pop-tastic questions.

Children in Need of Assistance (BBC1, from 7pm Friday)

The Beeb's annual charity bash: Lee Mead plays throughout the night, and Radio 1 meets Radio 2 in Never Mind the Fundraisers after 11pm. Plus Junior Dragons' Den, the final of Celebrity Scissorhands, and more Terry Wogan than is good for the soul.
