It's Only A Game Show
By It's Only A Game Show
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.
