I need some light entertainment to fill my evenings.

I'm a big fan of Taskmaster and Would I lie to you. Q.I and 8 out of 10 cats does countdown are pretty good too. I feel like there are probably loads more that I either can't think of or don't know.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Don't thing there are as many around as there used to be. So many of them could be good (e.g. 1% club) but spend 90% of the time wittering on, playing music, trying to be build suspense, playing adverts.

However, House of Games is great.

I used to like 15 to 1. No pissing around with contestants boring anecdotes about their cat or their scuba diving fixation, just loads of questions.

Supermarket Sweep.

Colourful, energy laden and full of laughs to provide a compelling angle of the weekly shop.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm a regular house of games watcher.

I was however thinking more of comedy gameshoes though. Mock the week, Frankie Boyles new world order etc.

I'm not sure if their genre is game show though. Panel shows? Is that what they're called?

Slightly off topic. I recently started listening to reruns of I’m sorry I haven’t a clue.
Which is nice!

Perfect for watching a randy Bruce Forsyth groping young female contestants and yet somehow avoid operation yew tree.

The Chase, Beat the Chasers, 1% Club and House of Games. Used to love Tenable - but not sure if it's still on.

Sorry - just seen you said comedy. 'Unforgivable' is good / funny.

About twenty five years ago I thought Shooting Stars was the funniest thing in the world (except for Father Ted)
