A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 8 May 2010
Schedules are subject to change.
Back, and apparently by popular demand, is the lottery show In It to Win It, now with its transmission time splatted after it. (BBC1, 8.12 Saturday). There's a new run of A Question of Genius (BBC2, 4.30 weekdays), and young versions of old friends: Junior Masterchef (BBC1, 4.35 weekdays) and Junior Apprentice (BBC1, 9pm Wednesday). Two shows of interest on Radio 4: So Wrong It's Right (11pm Tuesday) has people giving outlandish incorrections, and Why Go (11.30am Thursday) looks at the game of Go.
