A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 5 June 2010
Schedules are subject to change.
Scrapheap Challenge is back, with chariot-racing (C4, 5.25 Sunday). Top reality show of the week is Fferm Ffactor (S4C, 8.25 Thursday), the competitive farming contest. Britain's Got Talent reaches its end (ITV, 7.30 Saturday), but there's a new series of Britain's Got Talent US (ITV2, Thursday) for all the Piers Morgan fan club. Big Brother's also back, taking over Channel 4 one last time - there are supporting programmes on Sunday and Tuesday, and the contest begins on Wednesday. Which also means that 8 Out of 10 Cats is back (C4, 10pm Friday).
