Well, it&#8217;s not <em>that<\/em> interesting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Gameshow General Election <\/strong>(Monday, Bother&#8217;s Bar\/UKGameshows.com): the actual general election is brilliant timing for us because it coincides with the necessary four years in between All Time polls. I like to think Gordon Brown had us in mind when calling the date. Let&#8217;s hope it&#8217;s not a hung parliament in real life, or we&#8217;ll probably have to do this all again in a few months time. Details and voting form up on Monday.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Double Cross<\/strong> (Monday, Buzzerblog): the world&#8217;s first podcast gameshow, hosted by Buzzerblog&#8217;s Alex Davis. I&#8217;m intrigued, if nothing else!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Survivor <\/strong>(Thursday, CBS): I&#8217;ve been really busy this week so I&#8217;ve not had a chance to watch the last episodes of <em>The Amazing Race<\/em> or <em>Survivor<\/em>, but I confidently predict they&#8217;ll be a bit like the previous episode but with one less person or team in it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fort Boyard<\/strong> (5:31pm UK assuming they take that into account on the website programming grid, Friday, TV5Monde): Thanks to Iain for alerting us to this, FB&#8217;s twentieth season gets a showing on TV5. Expect a spanky new titles sequence, remixes of old adventure tunes that are a bit hit and miss, no actual new adventures, a pointless state of play board, and something that looks like an element of gambling in the council but no-one stops to wonder how they&#8217;re going to scoop out 15 seconds of tiny balls when they lose that game. First episode with Eva Longoria I really enjoyed, the shortcomings of this series reveal themselves gradually over the course of the series. Still though, it&#8217;s going to be completely different for season 21 &#8211; I&#8217;m keeping my fingers crossed (if anyone&#8217;s going to make it work it&#8217;ll be the host company for the host nation), but on the basis of other two team versions I&#8217;m not especially hopeful. Still, 20 years is good innings it has to be said. And they said <strong>The Crystal Maze<\/strong> was outdated, tch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Postcode Challenge<\/strong> (8pm, Friday, STV): Yes!!!!
