Sarah Greene's back! With the very young Roman Kemp, on The Finish Line.

This daytime quizzer is a fast-moving picture / pair / word recognition quiz, with a general knowledge race thrown in.

Love the atmosphere, not convinced they make the most of their selling point.

Plus! The difference between The Queen's Gambit and The Queen's Nose.

Huzzah! PlutoTV is now showing Richard Dawson era episodes of Family Feud. That was the best era. Steve Harvey is funny, but the questions are designed to elicit the cringiest sexual answers out of little old ladies, so Steve can guffaw and mug for the camera. Dawson was just there to show the questions, and kiss the ladies. (Which was also cringey.)

The Week looks at Puzzling, a brain strain quiz in primetime on Channel 5.

If one can look beyond the bits they've borrowed from Only Connect, there's a decent show: mostly well-paced, enough to keep the mind ticking over, done in the most friendly atmosphere, and the series winner will have earned their title.

Also: Emmy nominations, and is Christopher Biggins the mole?

looks at , a quiz on in .

A very promising effort: the show flows, questions are pitched at a good level, and the cream rises to the top.

I don't ask for perfection on the first series, only that there's promise - and Ireland's Smartest has a lot of promise.

Churches but you get to debate the preacher and if you win you’re the preacher.

On a day that might hit 100F, a 4am start was a little later than I hoped, but I still scored the metric with little difficulty and no real grumpy-causing incidents. But I was sad to see yet another of our million-dollar views spoiled by more barely-legal AirBnBs (as if an owner is ever going to actually live there) that make our affordable-housing crisis even worse in this boomtown.

The 10th annual 24 Hour Game Show Marathon has started. And already I'm impressed by the vast, vast improvement in production quality (and the audio) this year! Got the Twitch app loaded on my Fire TV stick, and that's probably what it's locked onto until tomorrow.

Tomorrow begins the 10th annual live marathon of cool folks (many who you've seen as contestants on real shows) re-creating classic (and a few modern ones), from the US and UK and around the world, for charity.
Lots of segments from previous installments also at the link.

Glad to see that One Question is coming back for a new series. Claudia Winkleman took a novel but ho-hum format and really made it fun and engaging. Here's the trailer from last year's Series 1.

Here's something we don't see often: an original 1972 episode of The New Price Is Right in excellent condition, especially one in which Bob gives away a [redacted]. Also interesting to see all the stage action that isn't edited out and cameras poking into the shot.
It's been on YT forever but was recently rediscovered; that's why it's split into 5 parts.
