Game‑Show Blitz on Challenge: The Chase, Tenable, and Antiques Await
If you’re a fan of sharp wit and fast‑paced quizzes, Challenge’s weekend is a goldmine. The channel keeps the familiar faces and familiar formats, but it also gives a chance to spot new twists in classic shows.
The Chase Marathon (6‑9 pm, 10‑2 pm, 4‑9 pm)
Bradley Walsh’s host‑spotlight quiz returns in a marathon that tests knowledge against a panel of “Chasers.” It’s a reliable showcase of quick thinking and a good fit for adults who appreciate a classic British quiz vibe. The repeated format keeps the energy high but may feel a bit repetitive for younger viewers who crave variety.
Tenable (8‑9 pm)
Warwick Davis leads a high‑stakes game where the number 10 is the key to a £125,000 jackpot. The tension is palpable, making it a solid pick for anyone who enjoys a mix of trivia and risk. The show’s format might be too straightforward for seasoned quiz fans looking for deeper challenge.
Bridge Of Lies (1‑2 pm)
Ross Kemp’s adventure‑quiz forces contestants to cross a bridge of truths and lies for cash. It blends suspense with a light-hearted tone, appealing to viewers who like a bit of reality‑show drama without the heavy stakes. It’s a decent mid‑afternoon breather.
Celebrity Antiques Road Trip (9‑10:15 pm)
Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb hunt for antiques along the Sussex coast before auctioning them. This show offers a relaxed, nostalgic vibe that works well for families or older audiences looking for a gentle, engaging viewing experience.
Catchphrase & Cash Trapped (10:15‑11 pm & 11‑12 pm)
Catchphrase rewards contestants with cash for guessing popular sayings, while Cash Trapped pits six players against each other in quick‑fire rounds. The pair offers a blend of lighthearted fun and competitive edge—great for younger viewers or anyone who loves approachable quiz formats.
Bullseye (10 pm onwards)
The dart‑board quiz tests both skill and knowledge, offering a unique twist for those who appreciate precision and trivia. Its late‑night slots are ideal for night owls or anyone who wants to wind down with a subtly challenging game.
Bottom line: Challenge’s weekend delivers a solid lineup for quiz lovers, family evenings, or casual viewers seeking light entertainment. The mix of familiar and fresh formats ensures that almost everyone can find something to enjoy.
