Richard Osman's House of Games

In Week 17’s Wednesday programme, Jennie McAlpine, Ugo Monye, Joe Pasquale and Felicity Ward put their general knowledge to the test in a series of trivia‑based games throughout the week, as they compete for the title. A winner is announced on Friday.

The broadcast scheduled for Wednesday in Week 17 is a television episode that forms part of a larger programme. It is presented as a stand‑alone instalment within the series, and its placement on the mid‑week slot signals the start of a short competition that will run through the remainder of the week. The episode brings together four personalities – Jennie McAlpine, Ugo Monye, Joe Pasquale and Felicity Ward – who each put their general‑knowledge abilities to the test. Throughout the show they take part in a series of trivia‑based games, tackling questions that range from the obvious to the obscure, all designed to gauge how well they can recall facts across a wide array of subjects. These challenges are not confined to a single night; the format sees the contestants competing in similar rounds on each day of the week. Their scores accumulate as the days progress, creating a running tally that keeps the audience aware of who’s pulling ahead and who’s lagging behind. The culmination of the week arrives on Friday, when the accumulated results are tallied and a single winner is announced. This final reveal brings closure to the week‑long contest, crowning the participant who has demonstrated the strongest breadth of knowledge across the various trivia challenges.
