A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 19 June 2010
Schedules are subject to change.
Far too many ball sports clogging up the schedule this week, and almost no time for games. The highlight is the return of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (Radio 4, 6.30 Monday). The lowlight is the return of Quote... Unquote (Radio 4, 1.30 Monday).
