A guide to game shows in the UK and Ireland for week commencing 9 October 2010
Highlight of the week? Probably the return of Mission 2110 (CBBC, 5.45 Thursday). But some will prefer new runs of America's Next Top Model (UK Living, 9pm Monday), and there's always Have I Got News for You (BBC1, 9pm Thursday). Codi Canu has a new format (S4C, 8.25 Tuesday), and we think My Genius Idea (BBC2, 4pm Tuesday) is a junior version of Genius (BBC2, 10pm Monday). And if you're still suffering from Big Brother withdrawal symptoms, throw a duvet over Josie and John James' new house (C5, 10pm Monday), and have a roast with Davina (C4, 9pm Friday).
