A look at four recent quiz pilots from Radio 4.
https://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weaver's_Week_2026-08-02
Bookmarks, a literary quiz hosted by Clare Balding. Worked out of the blocks.
Déjà News, a recent history quiz hosted by Lucy Porter. Fizzing with ideas.
Your Number's Up, comedy and mathematics with Max Fosh, more entertaining than we dared expect.
Around the World in 80 Ways, a travel quiz with Simon Reeve, perhaps a bit too over-produced but the idea's sound.
All of them could come back; maybe there's a full strand here for the Radio 4 scheduler.

Thursday is our new day to publish the Week, at least for the summer.
This week, "The Way Out" on the Dave channel.
Mel Giedroyc puts some comedians in a locked room, and watches them try to find their way out.
Worth watching, generally entertaining, often funny, and with a few nuggets of science.
-
Last boost: as well as being a cracking wit, Alex McMillan is one of •the• greatest question writers on quiz shows.
Look for their credit on Bridge of Lies, The Finish Line, or recent Only Connect. You’ll be sure to find an interesting - and accurate - moment there.
Alex’s best? From OC: the lion, the witch, and the (Ikea) wardrobe.

My #introduction post is long over-due. I play the voice with my darling love, in a classical chorus. I use #GNU #Linux and #IOS living a double life? I'm a licensed #hamradio op, but dormant. I watch way too many #GameShows and some #BritComs. My original toots are selfies and blurbs about my exciting life.

A review of "The Neighbourhood" on ITV.
Sometimes, i watch these shows so you don't have to. And i very nearly didn't get to the end of this one.
It's hideous, quite the worst programme i've seen in many years. Dull, insipid, and it feels fake from the core.

"Celebrity Sabotage" gets the Week's review this week.
Rather enjoyed it: they'd put plenty of effort and budget into the show, and some careful editing made sure we knew what was going on at all times.

After ep 3, am •this close• to giving up on The Neighbourhood. Ended up watching tonight’s ep at double speed and with subtitles on.
It’s just so bland, so tedious, so predictable. So aspiring middle class. So much the innate conservatism of the petty bourgeoisie.
To cap it all, the format rewards the misogynist (with more than a dash of homophobia).
(And which server are they on? “Call 426311”, but what’s your exchange? Maroons.)

A review of "Do You Know Your Place", a BBC2 teatime show from before the clocks changed.
Paul from The Traitors visits tourist attractions and slices of life, and they make a thin quiz around it.
Watch it for the tourist bits, and the slices of life; i think of it as "Holiday '71" with questions.

An "in brief" edition of the Week.
Counterpoint, Radio 4's music quiz, is at an inflection point: new producer, perhaps a new host soon, same format.
Gladiators had the inevitable Injury Series, and while it was good, it wasn't as great as i remember last year's.
And which team is best-placed to win University Challenge?

Reviewing "Handcuffed" with Jonathan Ross.
A fascinating show, showing how it's mostly superficial things that divide people, and how a little tolerance and patience can be helpful.
Told its story in a brilliant way, not fully chronological, but logical and enhancing the tale.

A few words on "The Summit", ITV's latest attempt to combine amateur mountaineering with social disagreements and a cheap Interceptor knock-off.
There's almost a morality lesson here, but nobody's going to have seen it, because the show was really not very good.

"The Floor" from ITV. Rob Brydon asks people to Name That Thing. The best at naming That Thing gets territory on a game floor.
There's plenty of tactics, and incentives to stay and play, and a lot of quiz to entertain everyone.
And there are tweaks and twists within the format they've not used this year, perhaps saving it for a second series when the audience is more ready for it.

A look at "Secret Genius" on Channel 4, the show that appeared to be about puzzles and the way the brain works, but was actually about how society consistently cannot cope with people who think in an unusual way.
Fediverse, you'll love it! And it's got Susie Dent! (And it's got Alan Carr, but he's kept on a reasonable leash.)

CW: Television, Game Shows
Game shows have been a safe, non-triggering thing for me to watch the last couple months.
“Classic Concentration” with Alex Tribec is a good one and I think we need to bring this show back.
So many modern game shows are complicated. The reason Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy work is because the concept is simple.

"Millionaire Hot Seat" gets the Week's review. A functional show, familiar enough not to need much introduction. Sometimes a little bit rushed, and we never really get to root *for* a contestant.
Plus a tribute to UKGS's greatest writer, news from Quizzy Mondays, and where we'll be in august.

‘I was screaming at the TV’: Traitors star admits they were infuriating to watch
