Richard Osman's House of Games 2017

Overview

Richard Osman's House of Games is a British television series that premiered in 2017. Classified as a comedy‑and‑talk programme, it follows a heavily structured gameshow format in which four well‑known participants compete each week, testing their general‑knowledge abilities across a range of entertaining games. The show is described as more convivial and free‑flowing than many other programmes in the genre, offering a wide variety of challenges. Episodes regularly feature a house band and occasional special guests, adding extra quizzing silliness as noted by the presenter. Broadcast on BBC Two, the series has included contestants such as Angellica Bell, Gyles Brandreth, Scarlett Moffatt and Iain Stirling, who together assess their knowledge in the weekly contest. The series continues beyond its initial launch, maintaining the core premise of four famous faces going toe‑to‑toe in a quiz‑based competition.
