How to play the BBC One shows timeline game

Each card is a BBC One original series, and you order them by the year each first aired. Only the title appears on the card. The first show is already in place when you begin, its year showing. Read each new card and drop it into the gap where you think it began. Right answers reveal the year; wrong ones still move the show to its true position but take one of your three lives.

British television in nearly all its forms is here: sitcoms, soaps, costume dramas, crime series, sport, children's programs and Saturday-night entertainment. The deck reaches far back into the channel's history, and some of the oldest shows are still on air, which makes them feel newer than they are. Remakes and fresh takes on classic stories also catch people out.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
