(In the pipeline: I have a suspicion Pointless might be back opposite, as the TVGuide.co.uk entry for the episode reckons it's presented by Alexander Armstrong only, but I want confirmation first.)
(In the pipeline: Rotate for next week. Has "Odd Couples" been retitled "Jon & Lucy's Couples Therapy"? - looks like a game from listings mags)

Poll of the Year 2022

Poll of the Year 2022 - Now open!
It's time to vote in our annual Poll. What did you watch and enjoy last year? What didn't you enjoy quite so much? Let us know! But be quick: You've got until 23:59 Monday 9th January to get your votes in.

Impact of COVID-19

Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has turned everything upside down, and the world of game shows is no exception, so we now have a dedicated page to keep tabs on the shows affected. Do give us a shout if you know of something we've missed.

Greatest Game Shows

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 2022 and ranging from stalwarts like The Crystal Maze and Interceptor to, er, Man O Man. Who knew?

Going for Gold

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.

16 April ITV to launch quiz channel
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.

Bullseye
26 February IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN for a full series
Following the success of the 2024 Christmas special pilot hosted by Freddie Flintoff which drew in audiences of over 7 million, ITV have confirmed a full series of Bullseye consisting of four episodes and one Christmas special which will air later in the year.

Henry Kelly
26 February Henry Kelly
Television presenter and radio DJ Henry Kelly passed away peacefully at the age of 78. His biggest successes included the 1980s ITV light entertainment show Game for a Laugh and the BBC lunchtime Pan-European quiz Going for Gold. He was also one of the original presenters on Classic FM in 1992 and had a decade long stint on BBC Radio Berkshire from 2005.

Family Fortunes
7 February ITV drops Family Fortunes following Gino accusations
ITV have pulled repeats of Family Fortunes on ITV2 following a series of misconduct allegations aimed at host Gino D'Acampo. Gino recorded a third series early last year intended for broadcast this year, but ITV have now shelved all ten episodes.

The Answer Run
30 January Running for answers again
The Answer Run has been recommissioned by the BBC. The first series was well received by critics and viewers, as well as our readers who voted it into second place in the Poll of the Year Hall of Fame. The 25-episode second series will be filmed and aired later this year with Jason Manford returning as host.
