Bored of political excitement? This weekend is the 6th annual 24 Hour Game Show Marathon where most of Buzzerblog stay up all night playing gameshows in the hope you will sponsor them for Child’s Play.
It starts 5pm UK time on Saturday. You’ll be able to watch live on Twitch, and you can donate on this link.
Here is the schedule (you’ll need to shift five hours forward for UK times), I’m intrigued to see how some of the games work out:
The Crystal Maze launches with another Stand Up 2 Cancer special on Friday 23rd June 9pm. Will the series be going out on Friday nights? That doesn’t sit well with me. Still though.
Fort Boyard 2017 launches Saturday 24th at 7:55pm UK. We’ve set our page up for it.
Great weekend for adventure fans!
Traditionally at this juncture we put up a clip of If I Ruled The World, the political panel game from the 90s, but this year I’m instead putting up a random video from Parlamentet, the popular (and still running) Swedish version.
Both Big Brother and Love Island start tonight on Channel 5 and ITV2 respectively and I don’t think I’ve ever given less of a damn.
I do concede that the BB house is quite nice though. Not quite Canada, but still.
Saturday 3rd June,
9pm-11:30pm ish

What lies beneath the multi-coloured squares of the Game Night board? Join us on Saturday night to find out!
Seven panellists will vie in games of knowledge, creativity and bluff to earn points to help in an arbitrary endgame whilst you, the audience, act as both judge and jury. Answer the questions along with the panellists and judge all the answers. Whose was cleverest? Whose was funniest? You affect the outcome, and whatsmore a lucky audience member with fast fingers will join each game as the Eighth Player earning points for Team Audience who could end up winning the whole thing!
To play you will need to be watching on Youtube or on the stream here (we recommend watching through a computer as the delay is only a few seconds, but it can be rather longer watching on a smart TV) and on your second screen you log into jackbox.tv and follow the prompts. Keep an eye on your second screen as it’s likely to be a few seconds ahead of the action.
Fingers crossed it will be an entertaining evening!
LIVE FROM 9 – 11:30!
If you enjoyed that Cory, Christian and Bob will be partaking in the 6th 24-Hour Game Show Marathon streaming live next weekend. Do give generously. We’re especially intrigued to see how they’ll do Tipping Point.
