Richard Osman’s House Of Games Night

BBC1, 8.30pm

Like it or not, it seems there’s no escaping Richard Osman (right): he’s still a fixture of the late-afternoon schedules with Pointless, his latest thriller The Man Who Died Twice has given him his second successive number one bestseller and now here he is back at the helm of this fun-filled celebrity game show.

Actor Sian Gibson along with comedians Ed Gamble, Dara O Briain and Sindhu Vee make up the surprisingly competitive quartet lining up to try and come out on top against the challenge of Osman’s sublimely silly trivial posers.

There’s lots of quick-fire wit to enliven proceedings in between the different rounds and with plenty of questions viewers of all ages will be able to answer, it’s a warmly escapist watch for all the family to enjoy. ★★★★★
