A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 1 August 2009
Schedules are subject to change.
The good news is that this week sees the start of a new series of Panic Attack (BBC1, 5.15 weekdays). The bad news is that it's only being shown in Northern Ireland, and that's wronger than Wrong Ron McWrongo, mayor of Wrongston. Elsewhere, Clive Anderson's on The Funny Side of TV Talent (BBC2, 9.30 Thursday), and he's on Challenge for their new summer signing Back in the Day (6pm weekdays). Er, The Amazing Race at Saturday lunchtimes on Challenge? Will that do?
