A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 20 February 2010
Schedules are subject to change.
As one dance show ends, another begins: Let's Dance for Comic Relief is back (BBC1, 6.30 Saturday), asking celebrities to do silly things in favour of charity. May the Best House Win (ITV, 2pm weekdays) is a one-week pilot we reckon can be described as Come House With Me. There's the final of Pen Campau (S4C, 6.30 Wednesday), a new daytime run of Are You Smarter Than a Satellite Channel Controller? (6pm weekdays), and the return of the utterly modest Chris Moyles' Quiz Night (C4, 10pm Friday).
