A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the seven days beginning 24 February 2007.
Schedules are subject to change.
New and notable
The Search (5.20 Saturday, C4)
- The grand final of the superior treasure hunt.
Top Chef (6pm Sunday, Living)
- A US import. Can you guess what it is?
The Applicants (10pm Sunday, BBC2)
- A comedy musical written by Richard Thomas and Stewart Lee. Sir Alan Prentice wants the contestants to design a new look for the Church of England.
Sudo-Q (3.15 weekdays, BBC2)
- Eamonn Holmes and his number round.
50/50 (4.30 weekdays, BBC1)
- The half-and-half quiz returns.
The Euro Squillions Draw (10.20 Friday, UK Gold)
