A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 17 July 2010
Schedules are subject to change.
What's new this week? ITV's primetime Saturday lineup barely qualifies, Odd One In (7.15) and Magic Numbers (8pm) are both familiar formats, but can hardly be worse than Tonight's the Night (BBC1, 8pm). Channel 5 gets on the talent show bandwagon with Don't Stop Believing (7pm Sunday). Mission 2110 comes to BBC1 (4.05 Mo-We), and it's got to be better than Paris Hilton's New Best Friend Forever (ITV2, 7pm Monday) or Four Weddings Usa (UK Living, 9pm Monday). But the week's big debut is the new series of Celebrity Masterchef (BBC1, from 8pm Wednesday). Ten more celebrities test their ability to cook while under pressure. No, never heard that before.
