Monday round-up

Where I go through my Twitter and point out some things you might have missed. It’s time to begin now count it in, 5, 6, 7, 8:

• Think Tank started today on BBC1, there’s a show discussion post for it. It’s not that bad but not the sort of thing I feel the need to catch up on. Do “join the conversation” and “have your say”, as Bill Turnbull probably said on BBC Breakfast. Once.
• It’s vaguely science so it’s Dara! He’s fronting Dave’s TV adaptation of popular interactive videogame based live comedy Go 8 Bit. Celebrities, challenges and comedy all promised, as well as retro and new stuff. We’re excited that Ellie Gibson has been tapped up as commentator, for our money one of Eurogamer’s finest and funniest writers when she worked for them (currently writing and fronting the Scummy Mummies podcast with Helen Thorn), although she was wrong about Sonic 4. Whatsmore Dave’s track record in this sort of thing (School of Hard Sums, Taskmaster) is really pretty good. If you want to see it filmed SRO Audiences have tickets, it films next month at Wembley.
• The second series of Bother’s Bar surprise hit For What It’s Worth is adding a studio audience which will hopefully give the show a bit more of an atmosphere to go with its fun Antiques Bullseye format. That films in Salford end of April/May, tickets Lost in TV.
• Ant vs Dec this week is a mini-motorbike race round ITV Towers. Tickets Applause Store.
• There’s still opportunity to get tickets for Bang On The Money filming at Maidstone this weekend. The show sees teams do physical and mental challenges involving trying to hit targets bang on. Hosts Rickie and Melvin giving decent #hostholdingaquestioncard on the tickets page, also Applause store.
• Can’t Touch This starts Saturday night on BBC1, a show discussion post awaits.
• Hurrah! Wild Things returns to Sky One on April 10th for an extended eight week run. New games and new animal costumes promised.
• Bother’s Bar favourites Jackbox Games have announced Drawful 2 will be coming out in the Spring and the Jackbox Party Pack 3 will be out later this year. Expect another Bother’s Bar Game Night in due course, although not before Schlag den Star on April 9th.
• FINALLY Comedy Central UK are showing Billy On The Street from the beginning from tonight at 10:30pm. In theory a popular culture gameshow but really with a heavy emphasis on comedy, Billy Eichner accosts members of the public and asks them largely subjective questions for amazing prizes, although it’s a lot better than I’ve made that sound, and genuinely the first example of a vox pop style show that’s genuinely funny and worth your time.

And that’s all the weather! FOR NOW.
