ITV have confirmed that there will be a second series of Gameshow Marathon in Spring 2007, but it won't be presented by Ant and Dec, as they have decided to concentrate on Saturday Night Takeaway and Poker Face instead. The new series will be presented Tess Daly and Vernon Kay.

Remind me again. What exactly was the format of 'I hope for' again?

I've tried looking at UKGameshows but drew a blankety blank... Confused

Thanks. However I can't stand Tom O'Connor so that would be a massive problem...

..as is the fact the show isn't being made any more. Good.

Tess Daly and Vernon Kay? If ever there was a reason not to watch...

Good show, bad presenters.

Although a lot of people slag off Vernon Kay, he is suited to light entertainment, and is much better than a lot of today's comedy/niche presenters who would just go off on their own standup routine rather than present the show properly

I think Vernon has been excellent on Family Fortunes so I dont mind him presenting this. I enjoyed the first series of Gameshow Marathon so im glad it is returning.

Wheel of Fortune will no doubt pop up this time around. I can see that returning to the daytime schedule once they've bashed Price Is Right to death.

321 will be a very ambitious one to recreate, maybe worth a one off for old times sake however. I personally would like to see Catchphrase and Strike It Lucky as two other returning gameshows.

I would like to see this series 10 shows long rather than just 7
