We're still dredging through the detritus of the schedules, and (once again) giving thanks for BBC4. A season on games and pastimes is not strictly on-topic, but may well be of interest - we're particularly looking forward to '''Games Britannia''' (9pm Mon). After narrating the Kit Williams show last week, [[Janet Ellis]] returns with '''Going to Pieces In the Box''', a brief history of the jigsaw (Radio 4, 11.30am Tue). '''[[Countdown]]''' begins its latest finals week (C4, 3.25 Thu).
+
'Twas the week before the week before Christmas, and all through the schedules, only one programme debuted, and it was a mouse. That's '''[[Move Like Michael Jackson]]''' (BBC3, from Monday), and there are some sheep, in '''[[One Man and His Dog]]''' (BBC2, from Tuesday). It's certainly finals week, though: '''[[The X Factor|Simon Cowell Annoys]]''' reaches its peak of indifference (ITV, Sunday), then there are ends for '''[[School of Saatchi]]''' (BBC2, Monday), '''[[Fferm Ffactor]]''' (S4C, Tuesday), '''[[Britain's Best Brain]]''' (C5, Wednesday), '''[[The Restaurant]]''' (BBC2, Thursday), and '''[[Countdown]]''' (C4, Friday).

A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 12 December 2009

Schedules are subject to change.

'Twas the week before the week before Christmas, and all through the schedules, only one programme debuted, and it was a mouse. That's Move Like Michael Jackson (BBC3, from Monday), and there are some sheep, in One Man and His Dog (BBC2, from Tuesday). It's certainly finals week, though: Simon Cowell Annoys reaches its peak of indifference (ITV, Sunday), then there are ends for School of Saatchi (BBC2, Monday), Fferm Ffactor (S4C, Tuesday), Britain's Best Brain (C5, Wednesday), The Restaurant (BBC2, Thursday), and Countdown (C4, Friday).
