    The gang are back for a lockdown one-off special! And we are back with a bang as we cover the infamous gameshow for naturists, 'Naked Jungle'.

    We dive deep into the show itself, covering everything from the theme tune, the controversy it caused and a whole bunch of surprising facts about host, Keith Chegwin, that will knock your cheggers off.

    Plus we play another round of Bev's Quiz Quiz, hear what Richard Madeley may look like in just his socks, and find out that Mark really does lack any knowledge of the female anatomy.

  • SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT...
    Jan 23 2021

    We have a very special announcement.  As we’re in lockdown (in the UK anyway), and before series two comes along later in the year, we thought it’d be the perfect time to record a lockdown special of It’s Only A Game Show!

    What show will we be covering? Well, The Radio Times named it ‘the worst TV show of all time’. It’s the game show...for naturists. And the one where you get to see Chegger’s cheggers. That’s right, we’ll be discussing the infamous ‘Naked Jungle!’, hosted by the late, great Keith Chegwin.

    This special one-off episode will be out on Saturday 13 February and will be all across your favourite podcast platforms.

    But that’s not all - we’d love for you guys to get involved in this special episode. We want you to watch it and let us know what you thought via the comments section on our social media pages. Did you like it? Dislike it? What was your favourite bit? What were your favourite bits (ooh eer)? And how much do you hate us for making you watch what is apparently the worst TV show ever made? We’d love to hear from you, and we’ll include some of the best comments in the episode.

    You can find the video and get involved by visiting our social media pages:

  • Ep. 4 - The Generation Game (Snog Marry Avoid?, Time Travelling For Bomber Jackets & Binoculars)
    Jul 17 2020

    It's nice to see you, to see you...nice! That's right, this time we're covering the Saturday night, feel-good BBC staple that was 'The Generation Game'.

    We chat about the theme tunes (all 5 of them...), the hosts (all 3 of them...) and other things you probably didn't know about the show. Plus we play another round of Bev's Quiz Quiz, find out which one of us would actually snog Jim Davidson and learn there may be more than one way to say the word 'binoculars' (there really isn't, but one of the gang is convinced there is...).

    Look at us, not shoehorning too many Brucey catchphrases in here. Didn't we do well?! Oh, for fu...
