A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 6 June 2009
Schedules are subject to change.
It's BBC Cardiff Singer of the World week (from Saturday, BBC2 and Radio 4), there's the final of The Apprentice (BBC1, 9pm Sunday) and a new series of Celebrity Masterchef (BBC1, 8pm Wednesday). Graham Norton has a show that may or may not be game (7.30 Saturday, obviously), I'm a Celebus 2 comes to these shores (from Saturday, ITV2 and TV3) and Quote... Unquote (Radio 4, 1.30 Monday) clogs up the airwaves once more.
