Sunday on Challenge: A Quiz‑centric Feast
If you’re looking for a Sunday that keeps your brain ticking, Challenge’s lineup is a solid choice. The schedule is packed with classic game‑show staples and a few fresh twists that keep the mood lively.
The Chase (06:00‑07:00 & 07:00‑08:00)
Bradley Walsh returns to his role as host, pitting contestants against the ever‑shrewd Chaser in a race to answer general‑knowledge questions. The show’s format is simple but never dull, and the repeated airing shows it remains a top pick for viewers.
Still entertaining, the series holds up well across its multiple episodes.
Dickinson’s Real Deal (08:00‑09:00 & 09:00‑10:00)
Antiques expert David Dickinson leads a hunt for bargains across the country. While the premise is straightforward, the interactions with locals add a human touch that keeps the show engaging.
Blockbusters (10:00‑10:30 & 10:30‑11:00)
Bob Holness takes the reins of the iconic quiz board. The game’s simple cross‑word style is a nostalgic nod that still offers a satisfying challenge.
Celebrity Catchphrase (11:00‑12:00)
A modern remake of Stephen Mulhern’s 80s classic, this episode relies on celebrities decoding catchphrases. The format works, but the show feels more like a light‑hearted interlude than a headline grabber.
Tenable (12:00‑13:00)
Warwick Davis hosts a high‑stakes quiz where the magic number 10 is key to unlocking a £125,000 jackpot. The tension is palpable, though the show’s pacing can feel uneven.
Bridge of Lies (13:00‑14:00)
Ross Kemp leads contestants across a bridge of truth and deception. The game’s concept is clever, but the stakes are lower than the flagship shows.
Family Chase (14:00‑15:00)
Families battle it out in a friendly quiz showdown. The show offers an inclusive feel, though the excitement level is modest.
The Celebrity Chase (16:00‑18:00)
Celebrity contestants face the same rapid‑fire quiz format. The star power adds flair, but the show doesn’t stray far from the original format.
Bullseye (22:00‑00:00)
Dart‑throwing meets trivia in a late‑night segment. The combination is unique, but the show’s pacing can feel sluggish.
Bottom line: challenge’s Sunday lineup is a solid mix of familiar and slightly fresh quiz formats, with The Chase standing out as the flagship that keeps viewers engaged.
