Wi-Fi Wars

WiFi Wars is one of the most innovative and distinctive shows I've ever seen.

Joe Fuller, The Latest, 19th September 2017

There has long been a fairly glaring gap in the TV market for a show exploring gaming. This cheerful gameshow does the job reasonably well as guests waggle their joysticks at each other, offering a competitive spectacle but also practical game reviews into the bargain. This week's episode is notable for featuring a game called Goat Simulator. Surely a prospect to pique the curiosity of even the most luddite of viewers?

Preview - Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit

Dave's video game comedy returns for a second series - and it's even managed to spawn a spin-off.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 15th May 2017

Richard Osman and Sara Pascoe are the celeb joystick-wagglers launching the second series of Dave's arcade thunderdome. This anarchic gameshow has finally cracked how to turn video gaming into a spectator sport by booking enthusiastic guests, adding studio audience interactivity and, crucially, putting game-literate wits O Briain and Ellie Gibson in charge. A new reviews-focused companion show, Go 8 Bit: DLC, follows straight after.
