A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 20 June 2009
Schedules are subject to change.
It's a very quiet week for new shows; heck, when Daily Cooks Challenge (ITV, 3pm weekdays) is the highlight, and Strongest Man Series (Eurosport, 7.20 Sunday) is second, it's a really quiet week. Er... Goldie the conductor on Celebrity Mr and Mrs (ITV, 7.30 Saturday)... Chantelle Houghton on Don't Call Me Stupid (ITV, 10.35 Tuesday in most regions)... Tim Vine on Countdown (C4, 3.25 weekdays). Still, only another 831 weeks till the next Mastermind final.
