Weaver @weaversweek.eurosky.social · 18/10/2026Reviewing The Box on ITV. It's the one where Gary Lineker gives famous people silly things to do, contestants guess what Lineker's thinking about. An acquired taste, with a wry sense of humour. I rather liked it, but can see why it would annoy people. www.ukgameshows.com/... 110 1
Weaver @weaversweek.eurosky.social · 11/10/2026"Wisdom of the Crowd", BBC1's saturday night show melding statistics and the comedian John Bishop. Doesn't quite work, and while it's interesting to explain why it doesn't work, the show's really annoying. www.ukgameshows.com/... 030 3
Weaver @weaversweek.eurosky.social · 27/09/2026This week, a look at "I Kissed...", the queer dating show on BBC3. Young gays and lesbians see if they can form stable relationships. And talk about what it's like to be young and queer, conversations we don't see anywhere else on television. www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weaver'... 000 0
Weaver @weaversweek.eurosky.social · 14/06/2026"Nobody's Fool" from ITV. Fun little game, combining quiz and country pastimes, lying, and a little backstabbing. Plenty of nods to old game shows, and some serious efforts to organise a backstabby plot. Emily Atack and Danny Dyer hosted better than expected. www.ukgameshows.com/... 020 2
Weaver @weaversweek.eurosky.social · 07/06/2026A look at "The Way Out", shown recently on the Dave channel. Mel Giedroyc puts some comedians in a room, and makes them find their own escape. The results are usually entertaining, sometimes surprising, and generally worth watching. www.ukgameshows.com/... 000 0
Weaver @weaversweek.eurosky.social · 06/06/2026#TheN0ughtie5 d6 "Firefly" - Inme (2002) [NK] My first fifteen seconds of fame came in 2002, when i said on the MTV boards how lead singer Dave McPherson looked like "My So-Called Life"'s Angela Chase. Absolutely banging screamo tune. www.youtube.com/watc... 150 5
Weaver @weaversweek.eurosky.social · 24/05/2026Wrapping up this year's Eurovision Song Contest with the things i'll remember. The winner, and loads of great songs. The naff hosts, poor production. How repeating something often enough can give the illusion that it's true. But mostly the great songs. www.ukgameshows.com/... 111 1
Weaver @weaversweek.eurosky.social · 10/05/2026"Celebrity Sabotage" gets the Week's review this week. Rather enjoyed it: they'd put plenty of effort and budget into the show, and some careful editing made sure we knew what was going on at all times. www.ukgameshows.com/... #CelebritySabotage #GameShows 000 0
Weaver @weaversweek.eurosky.social · 19/04/2026The Hunt: Prey Versus Predator. Went out on Channel 4 recently. You didn't watch it. Nobody watched it. You missed some good tech, lots of Route One social gameplay. And *so many* unforced errors by the producers. Not sure i can recommend this show, that's how bad it was. www.ukgameshows.com/... 000 0

Weaver @weaversweek.eurosky.social · 20/11/2025In performance, Nemo finds the camera every time. This looks like chaos, it is utterly controlled.
