What is the UK's favourite game show on TV?

A spokesperson for Mahjong Challenge commented on the study: “Game shows have been a staple in many homes across the UK since the 1950s and some of the most successful game shows on TV originated here in Britain.

"It will be interesting to see how the popularity changes over the coming years though, since 75% of Countdown viewers are in the 55 plus age range, whereas The Chase has a wider target audience.

“Game shows face more competition than ever before to capture the attention of younger audiences, since they are used to having access to endless entertainment at the touch of a button through services such as Netflix and Prime Video.” 

According to the research, the UK's top game show on TV is the beloved words and numbers game Countdown.

The quiz show was the first program to be aired on Channel Four back in 1982, and 40 years later holds the top spot in UK Google searches with 996,000 annual searches.

The programme's first female presenter Anne Robinson stepped down as host in July 2022 and has been temporarily replaced by Colin Murray until the end of the year.
