  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. "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.

  4. Christmas's game shows: the good, the bad, the indifferent.

    The moments that made me go woo (hello, Fury)

    And zzz (Christmas evening Weakest Link)

    And had people on the train looking at me very strangely (That's Puzzling)

  5. Watching game shows as a kid:
    Wow, you can go on game shows and possibly win $10k?

    Watching as an adult:
    The host prolly makes way more than this in a single day

  6. A short set of radio reviews in today's Week.

    Counterpoint, the properly tough Radio 4 quiz that's everything Popmaster aspires to be.

    Sound Mate and Hot Takes, two comedy panel pilots from Radio Ulster. Something of merit in both, more in one than the other.

    Plus the BAFTA nominations for game shows.

  7. ITV made some half-hour editions of Pictionary. Mel Giedroyc hosted, the first half of the programme was almost completely irrelevant to the result, and the programme had even less energy than a bunny powered by Other Batteries.

    Plus! The University Challenge second round stats pack: who has scored a lot, who is strong in the useful categories?

  8. This week's Week concentrates on Romesh Ranganathan's Parents' Evening, a quiz for celebrities and their parent or child. Fill out a list, name some things - but only if your parent has faith in you.

    Plus a quick look at Rose d'Or nominations, and some statistics on the University Challenge first round.

  9. A tribute to Steve Wright, explaining why he was such an artist on the radio, and why he didn't really do many game shows - but I've found one anyway.
