A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 17 April 2010
Schedules are subject to change.
New for this week is The Whole 19 Yards (ITV, 7pm Saturday), in which - as the name suggests - contestants must cover 19 yards before pressing a button, answering a question, and possibly winning. Cwis Cymru (Radio Cymru, 6pm Friday) is - as the name suggests - a quiz in Welsh. And Britain's Got Talent (ITV, 8pm Saturday) will - as the name suggests - have the whole nation reaching for the off switch. A couple of specials of marginal game show interest - Can You Train Your Brain? (BBC1, 9pm Wednesday) and Election Your Vote (BBC1, 4.35 Thursday).
