This is based on one of the oldest shows on TV as the audience get the chance to see what the celebrities are famous for ie Brian Adams. They have got some very famous people to show. At the end of the show there is a game show where they have to get to the top of the bill for a brilliant prise. Usually a comedian hosts the thing so they can tell their jokes

THE X FACTOR SAT 8PM ITV *****


This week the x factor goes to the judges houses. We get the chance to see the 6 competitors that are in the judges houses and this is where it begins to become interesting as the judges get to select their 3 finalists.  But the previous round with the 6 chairs seemed to me to be very unfair as you and they got the chance to see people leave their seats when I think they should not be able to do this. I feel that this is a very cruel twist to the show.
THROUGH THE KEYHOLE SAT 9.20PM *****

Keith Lemon hosts a tv show based on a 1980s format made by the BBC and is now being made by ITV. 3 celebrity hosts try to guess the names of the celebrity from 3 clips showing clues to what is going on in the house and from that they have to guess who it is. The further on in the clips the more the celebrities seem to know whose house it is. They then talk to the celebrity who owns the house. Sometimes Keith has to give a clue through a key in the centre of his desk.
GAME CHANGERS SAT 9AM SKY SPORTS 1 *****

Game changers I think is one of few Television shows that I think will get young people up and active as they show the range of games that a child can play. However one of the problems is the fact that for most kids it would take more than a short walk to get to any of these sports. There is Darren Campbell vs Di Dougherty and the celebrity of the day helps to teach the children how to play the sport that they are good at.
SOCCER AM SAT 10PM SKY 1 *****

Soccer AM is a morning chow where Helen Chamberlain and Max Rushden  alk to celebrities about what soccer team that they support. One of the main aims for the celebrity is to sell their product and they get time to do that. Fans have to hit a ball into 5 goals from league 2 to the Champion’s league. Tubes asks one question to 1 celebrity. They ask footballers who is the fastest slowest strongest and their favourite question is who is the longest in the shower.
SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT SUN 9 AM SKY SPORTS 1 *****

This is one of the best shows for discussing football and what had happened in the news for the previous days. We get the chance to understand who these newspaper reports are and what they do and sometimes they need to understand why they do it. If you want to understand football this would be one of the shows to watch as they try to make sense of some of the insane characters in football and what they do.
THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE SHOW *****

We get the chance to see all of the goals from the football league and some of the matches are highlighted. I feel that this shows the smaller teams in such a big light as they are on the BBC. Presented by Manish Bhasim and Steve Claridge this would give most people a good look at lower league clubs and gives you a view on how they are doing.
MATCH OF THE DAY 2 *****

In this show we get the chance to see highlights of all Sundays matches and get the chance to see all of Saturdays goals with goal of the month and too good too bad  hosted by Mark Chatman. With regular pundit Mark Lawrenson and Alan Sherrer.
