TV Guide This Week

A guide to game shows broadcast in the UK and Ireland for the week beginning 31 July 2010

Schedules are subject to change.

The big one this week is the Mastermind Championship of Champions (BBC2, 7.30 Mo-Th, 8pm Fri), finding the best champion of the past goodness knows how long. That other clever-clogs quiz Round Britain Quiz is back (Radio 4, 1.30 Monday), as is cookery show Britain's Best Dish (ITV, 5pm weekdays). We're not sure about The Boss is Coming to Dinner (C5, 6pm weekdays), and know exactly what will happen on Just a Minute (Radio 4, 6.30 Monday). Who Wants to be a Millionaire has one of its occasional revamps (ITV, 8pm Tuesday), A Question of Sport is also back (BBC1, 7.30 Friday), and Celebrity Masterchef crowns a winner (BBC1, 8.30 Friday).
