Coming up

  • Don't Make Me Laugh - Comedians face the challenge of going up to the mike in front of our live audience without making them laugh. If they even get a laugh, they lose the mike, and it passes over to the next comedian. The longer they go without laugh, the more points they score. But it won't be easy because in each round, they'll be given inherently funny topics like 'my most embarrassing sexual experience' or 'why David Cameron's face looks like a big ham'. If they stray off-topic, they'll be given a forfeit. (BBC Radio 4, 2014)
  • Two Tribes - Contestants are in teams based on some common theme. General knowledge questions determine who - if anyone - takes home any prize that could mount up. Richard Osman hosts. (Remarkable Television for BBC Two, 2014)
  • Stand By Your Man - Ex-Westlife member Brian McFadden invites four guys to compete against each other in a series of challenges to win the most votes from an audience of female singles and then pick a female single from the audience to go out on a date. (ITV Studios for Channel 5, pilot 2014)
  • You Can't Say That! - Tim Vine hides some trick questions alongside the genuine questions where if the contestants can spot the 'trip-ups' from the trivia, they could be winning thousands of pounds. (Hat Trick Productions, pilot 2014)

  • Virtually Famous - Glee star Kevin McHale hosts a new panel show that's all about celebrating weird and wonderful people with team captains Jessica Knappett and James Acaster. (E4, pilot 2014)
  • Keep It in the Family - Two families of four battle it out over a series of rounds for the chance to win an array of prizes. But, it's not the parents won't be choosing which family member will be doing each challenge, it's the kids who will choose, which means anything could happen. Bradley Walsh hosts. (ITV, pilot 2014)
  • The Totally Senseless Gameshow - Celebrities dress up as characters to play a series of "Totally Senseless" games while something else will make it even harder for them not to win any of the games. Martin Dougan hosts. (Roughcut Television for BBC3, pilot 2014)
  • Win It, Cook It - Two teams pit against each other to see who can rustle up a feast from a limited larder. However, one member of each team will answer questions in order to win ingredients for their partner to cook with. Answer correctly, and they could win a prized ingredient, answer incorrectly, and they could end up with something less desirable. Simon Rimmer hosts. (Plum Pictures for Channel 4, 2014)
  • Celebrity Squares - A modern revival of everyone's favorite big box game. (ITV, pilot 2013)
  • The Almost Impossible Gameshow - Contestants are tasked with completing straight-forward but difficult challenges, with money on offer for those that succeed. (Initial for Comedy Central, pilot 2013)

(Challenge, 2013)
  • The Greg James Show - Straight from his Radio 1 drivetime show, Greg James gets to host his very own show as he pits two celebrity teams against each other to use massive modern hit songs (or so they say) on the springboard. (BBC Three, pilot 2013)
  • Name That Toon - Celebrities get to control a series of amazing CGI animations. Rufus Hound hosts (Channel 4, pilot 2013)
  • Just 1 Thing - Members of the public try to perform a brand new skill they have learnt during a week's training in front of a live studio audience to win some fantastic prizes.

(Channel 4, 2013)
