A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 13 June 2009
Schedules are subject to change.
There's a programme called Who Wants to be a Millionaire on ITV (7.30 Saturday), we've no idea what happens there. Nor are we sure what will happen when I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue returns (Radio 4, 6.30 Monday). There are finals of BBC Cardiff Singer of the World (BBC2, 6.30 Sunday) and Countdown (C4, 3.25 Friday), and after waiting over a year for one Mastermind final, two turn up in one week. Artsworld shows the 1980 series in one Saturday, and the 2009 champion is crowned on BBC2 (7pm Friday).
