Poll of the Year 2023 - 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 Friday 12th January to get your votes in.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic 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.
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?
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.

Featured Show
Game show news
Chris Tarrant is retiring from showbiz after more than 50 years in the limelight. From his early days as a newsreader on ATV Today, he quickly moved to Saturday mornings entertaining children on Tiswas, and spent over 20 years on Capital Radio. Chris hosted a number of game shows including Everybody's Equal and Man O Man; we wrote a two-part profile. His career highlight is the ground breaking Who Wants to be a Millionaire?.
Gregg Wallace is to step away from presenting Masterchef while allegations of historical misconduct are investigated. Reports of inappropriate sexual comments had been made by people who worked with him between 2005 and 2022. Episodes of Masterchef The Professionals that have already been recorded will transmit as planned.
ITV have announced that Big Brother will be having a third civilian series alongside a second celebrity series. Both series will air in 2025, which is also the year that the show itself will be celebrating its 25th anniversary in the UK.
The BBC has commissioned a third series of The Finish Line after the success of the second series, which had a run of 30 episodes. Series three will also have 30 episodes and will air in 2025. Roman Kemp and Sarah Greene will again return as hosts.
ITV have signed Freddie Flintoff to host a Christmas special of Bullseye. If the special does well, then a full series could be commissioned. The original version ran between 1981 and 1995 with Jim Bowen in charge. A revival hosted by Dave Spikey for game show channel Challenge was made in 2006 but wasn't as popular as the original and only ran for one series.
