Tom Allen’s Quizness begins Friday May 14th, 8pm. I did some of the early runthroughs, if you like your quizzing with a mental agility aspect and some silliness you may want to look out for it, although without seeing a finished product I can’t tell you if it works on telly or not, obviously.
Unbeatable (which I like to think will have the same theme tune as Impossible but with the lyrics changed) starts 2:15pm on May 10th on BBC1 with The Answer Trap starting very soon afterwards at 3pm on Channel 4. And you know what that means? A week full of content! Incredible.
Also don’t forget that Bother’s Bar’s Game Night 22: The Tenuous Council Elections Special is this coming Sunday at 8pm. You won’t want to miss the Arbitrary Final.
Edit: And it’s Schlag den Star Saturday May 8th (thanks David).
Also on the radar: it’s ‘Schalg den Star’ on Saturday 8th May, with Claudia Effenberg and Carmen Geiss.
SBS6 in the Netherlands has debuted local versions of both The Cube and First and Last. Neither show got outstanding ratings: 751k for F+L, but just 368k for The Cube. Report in Dutch:

Opening from The Cube (couldn’t find anything more substantial on YT):
Incidentally, The Cube app got updated this morning apparently to reflect the Dutch.
New episodes of Ellen’s Game of Games are also going out at 3pm from 10 May.
