A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 15 May 2010
Schedules are subject to change. We say this every week, and last week we meant it!
It's the finals weekend for BBC Young Musician (BBC2, 6.10 Saturday, 6pm Sunday), and the series final of Total Wipeout (BBC1, 5.25 Saturday, Sunday in Scotland). Other than that, we're struggling to find new shows.
