Sunday’s Game‑Show Goldmine on Challenge – The Chase, Tenable & More

If you’re looking for a Sunday that keeps your brain ticking, Challenge’s schedule delivers a steady stream of quiz‑centric entertainment. The channel’s lineup is dominated by The Chase in a marathon of 13 hour‑long episodes, complemented by a handful of other game shows and a dash of antiques. Below is a quick rundown of the key moments and my take on each.

05:00 – 06:00 The Chase (S5, ep 27)

Bradley Walsh keeps the stakes high with the classic brain‑busting format. The show’s tight pacing and familiar host feel like a comforting ritual. For fans of rapid recall, this episode remains solid and offers those quiet moments of pure knowledge play.

07:00 – 08:00 The Chase (S13, ep 107)

Back for a second run, the show maintains its trademark brisk tempo. The audience engagement is reliable, and the questions keep the tension up. If you’re a casual viewer, this version holds up well.

09:00 – 10:00 Tenable (S2, ep 16)

Warwick Davis steps into the role of host for a high‑stakes quiz where contestants chase a £125,000 jackpot. The format is a fresh take on the classic knowledge game, adding a layer of urgency with the “10” theme. It’s a noteworthy alternative to The Chase’s formula.

10:00 – 11:15 Celebrity Antiques Road Trip (S2, ep 16)

David “Diddy” Hamilton and Kate Silverton embark on a treasure hunt with the help of Charles Hanson and Thomas Plant. The mix of real estate sleuthing and expert advice lends an engaging, light‑hearted tone. It’s a pleasant diversion from the quiz‑heavy morning.

11:15 – 12:00 All Star Family Fortunes (S1, ep 7)

Vernon Kay brings a glitzy twist to the classic family game show. The celebrity panel adds a layer of charm, while the format’s simplicity keeps viewers hooked. It’s a reliable crowd‑pleaser for families.

12:00 – 13:00 Cash Trapped (S3, ep 16)

Featuring Bradley Walsh again, this edition pits six contestants against one another in four rounds. The competitive edge is pronounced, and the pacing keeps the tension alive. A solid pick for those who enjoy a direct, high‑energy quiz format.

14:00 – 15:00 Bridge Of Lies (S3, ep 3)

Ross Kemp takes on a psychological challenge where contestants cross a bridge of truths and lies. The premise is intriguing, adding a layer of strategy beyond mere trivia. It’s a refreshing change of pace.

23:00 – 23:30 Bullseye (various episodes)

Late‑night darts meet quiz in this classic format. The slow‑motion shots and sound effects create a nostalgic atmosphere. It’s a low‑pressure way to wind down the night.

Bottom line: With a blend of high‑stakes quizzes and light‑hearted antiques, Challenge’s Sunday offers something for every type of viewer. The marathon of The Chase remains the anchor, while the supporting acts keep the day varied and engaging.
