So whilst exploring Saturday morning telly for Game Night last night I came across an episode of Ghost Train’s Skull (or at least the second half of it), surely the only kids game where not only is violence encouraged but mandated.
Digging the music. It’s the Game of Faces!
Saturday 29th September, 9:25pm UK,
Here and on Youtube.

Right, at the beginning of the week I had posts lined up all the way to Thursday, but because I’m getting old I forgot what I was going to write on Wednesday and yesterday. Probably something deeply important.
But not as important as THIS! Game Night 11 sees your favourite Game Night panellists (and some newbies) take on Team Audience across the Jackbox Party Pack Games suite all to earn some sort of advantage for the Arbitrary Final. As ever YOU are an important part of the evening playing along and providing judgement, and with Team Audience so close to winning the night last time will this time be the one where the collective beats the individuals? Who will get their automatic spot for BBGNXII: Champignon of Champignons on October 20th, the weekend of Jackbox 5’s release?
To join in make sure you’re watching our live stream (which will be here but I recommend watching it on the actual Youtube site for a lower delay) and log in to each game by putting your name and room code to jackbox.tv.
This episode one audience member with a microphone will get to play as The Voice Of The Audience in the high-octane skill-based endgame. So if you’ve got a microphone and can stand the pressure of representing millions of people, and you’ve got a Twitter Account so I can send a Hangout link, let me know in the Youtube Chat or on Twitter #bbgnxi and I’ll pick someone arbitrarily.
So join us, good luck and have fun!
Tuesdays, 9pm,
ITV4
Yup, you read that right, ITV4 – this seems like quite the commission for it.
Dolph Lundgren off of films challenges teams to ascend his tower in order to win a holiday and cash. On each floor a challenge based on classic action movie scenes. Fail and get thrown out of the window and fall a la Alan Rickman in Die Hard, succeed and they’ll get to face off against Dolph in his penthouse for all the prizes.
It’s the gritty Incredible Games reboot the nation has been crying out for, and seems to be being played with it’s tongue very firmly in its cheek. Hopefully the budget stretches to decent challenges and tasks, as this appears to be Very Much The Sort Of Thing We Like.
Watched it? Let us know what you think in the comments.
There’s still time to put yourself forward as a Game Night panellist for this Saturday night, if you don’t fancy that then be sure to watch and join in for Team Audience:

Schlag den Henssler is back, and a plucky contestant will be attempting to win a €250,000 by besting celebrity chef Stefan Henssler over 15 mystery events.
This commentary is going to be a bit different, as three quarters of the usual presenting team will be running around London solving puzzles. However! Scott Rux has offered to step into the breach and provide a commentary of his own. What’s gonna happen?
Watching the live Pro 7 stream might be a bit more difficult than it has been previously.
Please refer to Scott’s Twitter for the commentary feed.
This stream is commentary only. You will need to have a naughty stream running at the same time for the visuals. We are likely to be about 15-20 seconds behind the visual stream (and about a full minute behind if you’re watching an actual satellite feed), sorry.The Opera VPN has apparently stopped being useful for SdH. Bother’s Bar recommends shelling out for a proper VPN service. Bother’s Bar uses Tunnelbear, other VPN services are available. Matt Clemson recommends Windscribe as a free alternative. We cannot take responsibility for anything you do to your system, so be careful and use some common sense.
To watch it would be useful to sign up for ProSieben’s catch-up service – it’s pretty simple to work out, don’t click the box if you don’t want e-mail messages. You will need to put in a proper e-mail because it will send you a confirmation.
If anyone knows of any relatively safe livestreams, do feel free to share.
