- TV & Film
The podcast where we delve into the weird, wonderful and sometimes truly awful world of game shows.
Each episode one of the 4 co-hosts (Bev Dobson, Mark Dobson, Mark Roberts and Matt Warrilow) will put forward a different show to talk about. We'll then cover everything to do with it - theme tunes, hosts, contestants, trivia, controversies - and ultimately, was it actually any good.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT...
We have a very special announcement. As we’re in lockdown (in the UK anyway), and before series two comes along later in the year, we thought it’d be the perfect time to record a lockdown special of It’s Only A Game Show!
What show will we be covering? Well, The Radio Times named it ‘the worst TV show of all time’. It’s the game show...for naturists. And the one where you get to see Chegger’s cheggers. That’s right, we’ll be discussing the infamous ‘Naked Jungle!’, hosted by the late, great Keith Chegwin.
This special one-off episode will be out on Saturday 13 February and will be all across your favourite podcast platforms.
But that’s not all - we’d love for you guys to get involved in this special episode. We want you to watch it and let us know what you thought via the comments section on our social media pages. Did you like it? Dislike it? What was your favourite bit? What were your favourite bits (ooh eer)? And how much do you hate us for making you watch what is apparently the worst TV show ever made? We’d love to hear from you, and we’ll include some of the best comments in the episode.
