A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 13 March 2010
Schedules are subject to change.
We seem to have missed We are the Champions, which returns to BBC1 (4.05 weekdays), after a week on CBBC. There's also a charity edition of Dragons' Den (BBC2, 8pm Tuesday), and dragon Duncan Bannatyne appears on Desert Island Discs (Radio 4, 11.15am Sunday). It's the grand final of The All-Ireland Talent Show (RTE1, from 6.30 Sunday), and Countdown celebrates its 5000th edition with a Championship of Champions match (C4, 3.30 Monday).
