The public has had their chance to speak and goodness, they took it. The results of the Poll of the Year 2009 are now up for you to peruse. Thanks for your votes, and if you enjoyed that, there's the Gameshow General Election coming in the late Spring. Until then!
Hello, good buy...
Q. What do you give the game show fan who has everything? A. Penicillin! And if you liked that, we're here all week. Every week. Forever. But if you just want a practical answer to the question, then visit the new and improved Prize Pound for all your TV (and radio) tie-in needs. From Millionaire computer games to Are You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old desk calendars, it's all here.
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 - it lists stalwarts like The Crystal Maze and Interceptor to surprises such as Kate Thornton's Dishes. 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 1500 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.

The BBC Trust has published the findings of its investigation into allegations of fakery against Sun, Sea and Bargain Spotting. It found that Reef Television were in breach of BBC guidelines in allowing production staff to pose as members of the public, allowing staff to purchase items off-screen, and restaging events without the original participants. The Trust identified incidents across all five broadcast series of the show. Similar breaches were also found in other Reef productions, Trash to Cash and Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is. In some incidents, the outcome of the programme was affected. The affected programmes will not be repeated, however following the investigation, the BBC Executive has announced that it "is now satisfied that the company has compliance procedures and training of an appropriate standard" and the company's supension has been lifted.
Pat Gibson is the new Egghead.
