House of Games fans have the same complaint after show is axed in major schedule shakeup
FANS of Richard Osman’s House of Games have all been left saying the exact same thing after the show was axed in a major schedule shakeup.
Richard presides over four new famous faces each week on the popular BBC game series – but one show, in particular, has replaced its usual slot.

Tennis is likely to consume the broadcaster’s schedule for the next fortnight – but some have been left infuriated by the move.
Dozens of game show fans – namely those supporting Pointless and House of Games – have taken to Twitter in their droves to complain.
Alongside a picture of someone with their head in their heads, one person fumed: “Me realising that Wimbledon means no Pointless or House of Games for two weeks.”

Echoing their comments, someone else said: “With Wimbledon taking up the TV schedule, it looks like I’m gonna have to watch old episodes of House of Games.”
While a third remarked: “Teatime just isn’t the same without Pointless or House of Games. Bore off Wimbledon.”
Despite the lack of game shows, viewers will be able to watch Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray back in action on Centre Court on Wednesday.
Raducanu, the US Open champion, did not drop a set through her first ten matches in slams, culminating in her famous run to the title at Flushing Meadows.
She will be hoping for more of the same against France’s world No 55 Caroline Garcia in the second round at SW19 this afternoon.

Murray wraps up the action on Centre Court, but the two-time champion and three-time Grand Slam winner insists he isn’t setting any targets at Wimbledon this year.
The Scot defeated Australia’s James Duckworth in four sets late on Monday night.
However, he has not reached the second week at Wimbledon in five years and has the big-serving American John Isner standing in his way of matching last year’s run to round three.
