A guide to game shows for the nine days commencing Saturday 7 October 2006
New and notable this week:
Strictly Come Dancing (Saturday, 7.50 BBC1)
- After two Eurovision entries representing the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia crowd the stage at
Wembley Old Trafford, it's back to London for the first in a new series of Bruce and Tess and Twinkle-Toed Celebs.
Mastermind Cymru (Sunday, 8.30 S4C)
- The only black-chair action we'll get all week; Betsan Powys becomes the fifth Grand Inquisitor.
The Box (Weeknights, 10pm TV3)
- And for viewers to ITV Ireland, we have Keith Duffy presenting a quiz involving two people living in a glass box, doing silly things to earn money, then competing to win it. Expect the ITV version next year, he said without a shred of evidence.
Have I Got News for You (Friday, 9pm BBC1)
- Gordon Ramsay reads from the Angus Deayton Memorial Autocue.
