Title: "BBC Game Shows" FAST Channel on Amazon Fire TV?
Post by: clemon79 on November 23, 2025, 09:13:56 PM
Okay, this is driving me nuts.

For a while I was watching a "BBC Game Shows" channel on my Amazon Fire TV stick. Largely it was blocks of shows that would rotate in and out; some of the common titles were The Edge, The Answer Run, The Boss, Wonderball, and some others I'm prolly not remembering. (Sometimes they would run marathons of Bargain Hunt, which is not a game show. Fight me.)

Anyhow, I can't for the LIFE of me find it now. I would just pluck it out of Recently Watched, but it cycled off of that because I have been binging 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown on the Channel 4 app. I don't remember finding it anyplace obscure, it was just there. Where the heck was I watching it? Is it still a thing?

Thanks for any help. :)

There was a piece a couple of weeks ago about the death of channel numbering, and how getting rid of those reserved, memorable spaces means that platforms can just quietly yoink a channel whenever and all but the most ardent viewers of it won't notice until it's long gone. So it's more likely that you just lost your channel and not your marbles.

It's not just you. It doesn't appear to be on Prime anymore. It is still on some other services such as Plex.

While searching for it, I did discover that Prime now has a FAST channel devoted to Saget-era America's Funniest Home Videos, but I digress.
