Poll of the Year 2024 - The RESULTS!
The waiting is finally over, it's time to find out what you thought was really good and what you thought was a bit rubbish about the genre in 2024. Thanks for all your votes!
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic turned everything upside down, and the world of game shows was no exception, so we have a dedicated page to keep tabs on the shows affected. Do give us a shout if you know of something we've missed.
The 100 Most Popular Game Shows
One question you almost certainly haven't been asking yourself is "What are the 100 most popular articles on this site?". Well, tough, because we have and you can see the result of our Greatest Game Shows - now updated for 2025 and ranging from stalwarts like The Crystal Maze and Interceptor to, er, Man O Man. Who knew?
While UKGameshows.com is (even if we say so ourselves) the most comprehensive guide to the genre anywhere on - or off - the web, with over 2100 programmes already in our database it is inevitable that even we're stumped sometimes. So we're asking for your help. A number of our "most wanted" shows are now listed here and a team of volunteers is standing by, waiting to add your contributions to our compendium of game show knowledge. Go on, help us out. It's what Mumsy would want.

Game show news
ITV have announced two bumper commissions of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?. The original version has been given a new 19 episode run, which will include seven celebrity specials. But not only that, the spin-off version originated in Australia called Millionaire Hot Seat is getting a UK adaption of 18 episodes. Both versions will have Jeremy Clarkson as host.
Blind Date is coming back. Ten episodes have been ordered by streaming platform Disney+, with no linear broadcast planned. Blind Date ran for almost twenty years hosted by Cilla Black, and was revived by Channel 5 with Paul O'Grady as host.
5 has announced that Puzzling is to return but in a celebrity version. The new series will run for eight episodes with Jeremy Vine replacing Lucy Worsley as host, and Carol Vorderman and Sally Lindsay as permanent team captains. It will be filmed at Cardiff's Enfys Studios with Potato and Wheelhouse as the production companies.
Sky has announced that their long-running comedy panel show A League of Their Own will be coming to an end. The show will be airing its twentieth and final series later this year, which will also be the show's fifteenth anniversary.
ITV has announced plans to launch its own game show channel, ITV Quiz. The network says it will replace the reality-themed ITVBe this June and draw upon its dedicated FAST channels on ITVX. ITVBe's main reality shows will move to ITV2.
