'''[[Skate Nation]]''' (BBC2, 9am Saturday) is the BBC's summer competition, and ITV has the broadcast pilot '''Anonymous''' (6.30 Saturday). Only slightly more demanding is the third member of the Monday Ultrabrain, as '''[[Round Britain Quiz]]''' returns (Radio 4, 1.30 Monday).
+
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.

Revision as of 18:23, 23 July 2009

Contents

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.
