A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 16 January 2010
Schedules are subject to change.
After the feast of new shows in recent weeks, there's something of a diet this week. Relic - Guardians of the Museum (BBC1, 4.35 Thursday) is the big new show, inviting contestants to spend a night in the British Museum. There's also a new series of Mock the Week (BBC2, 9pm Thursday), and Masterchef Australia comes to our screens (Watch, 7pm weeknights).
