ITV Quiz Thursday: From Deal or No Deal to Mind‑Bending Riddiculous – Your Game‑Show Roadmap
It’s Thursday on ITV Quiz, and the channel is stacked with a mix of classic and fresh quiz formats. From the high‑stakes tension of Deal or No Deal to the word‑play frenzy of Lingo, there’s something for every fan of mental challenges. Below is a quick guide to the evening’s highlights, plus a few personal takes on what’s worth your time.
18:00 – 19:00 Deal or No Deal
Deal or No Deal returns with Stephen Mulhern at the helm. The format remains the same: a single question, a Banker, and the chance to walk away with a life‑changing sum. It’s still entertaining for viewers who enjoy a tight, suspenseful set‑up. I’ll admit it’s getting a bit familiar, but the stakes keep it engaging.
19:00 – 20:00 Tipping Point
Tipping Point brings Ben Shephard back to the iconic spinning machine. The players face a series of escalating points, and the jackpot can swing dramatically. This show holds up well as a quick, adrenaline‑pumping break. It’s a good option if you’re looking for something fast and flashy.
20:00 – 21:00 Beat the Chasers
Beat the Chasers sees Bradley Walsh hosting a battle against the Sensational Six. The format is familiar but the personalities of the chasers add a layer of drama. It’s reliable entertainment for those who enjoy the “who can answer the most” vibe.
21:00 – 22:00 Lingo
Lingo continues its word‑play journey with new contestants each episode. The pace is brisk, and the event‑style format keeps the energy high. It’s one of the better options for viewers who appreciate clever word puzzles delivered in a competitive setting.
22:00 – 23:00 Riddiculous
Riddiculous offers a rapid‑fire riddle challenge hosted by Ranvir Singh. The questions are fast, the stakes are high, and the humor keeps the tension light. It remains a reliable pick for a quick mental workout.
23:00 – 00:00 Tenable
Tenable showcases a family team from Clitheroe tackling top‑10 list questions. Hosted by Warwick Davis, the show adds a quirky family dynamic to the quiz format. It’s still entertaining, especially for viewers who enjoy seeing family chemistry on screen.
00:00 – 00:55 Unwind with ITV
After the quizzes, you can relax with Unwind with ITV, a short program designed to calm the mind. It’s a good way to wind down after a night of high‑energy shows.
Bottom line
Thursday’s lineup on ITV Quiz offers a solid mix of tension, wordplay, and family fun. If you’re after the classic game‑show buzz, start with Deal or No Deal. For a quick thrill, Tipping Point and Beat the Chasers are solid choices. Finish the night with Lingo or Riddiculous for a lighter, word‑based finish.
