Dickson's personal website. This was set up in 1996 as a spin-off from his popular email discussion list, ukgs-l (since succeeded by a <a href="/wiki/Yahoo_Groups" title="Yahoo Groups">Yahoo Groups</a> list). The page consisted of rules sheets for some game shows of the time, as well as "Chris Compares" programme reviews and various links of interest. </p><p>From October 1998, game show consultant and puzzle writer <a href="/w/index.php?title=David_J._Bodycombe&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="David J. Bodycombe (page does not exist)">David J. Bodycombe</a> co-founded with Dickson a fuller version of the site, using a list compiled by TV fan Jez Rogers as a basis. The site was updated manually using standard <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_FrontPage" title="Microsoft FrontPage">FrontPage</a> software. </p><p>With the explosion in the popularity of game shows, and rapid increase in the number of British digital TV channels, the site was relaunched using <a href="/wiki/MediaWiki" title="MediaWiki">MediaWiki</a> software in 2004 so that volunteer editors could keep the database up-to-date. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Scope">Scope</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=UKGameshows.com&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Scope"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The site covers game shows made in the United Kingdom. Imported programmes are not included unless they have significant UK input, such as the <i><a href="/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest" title="Eurovision Song Contest">Eurovision Song Contest</a></i>. The site's definition of "game show" is wide-ranging, taking in such diverse styles as pre-school observation games (e.g. <i><a href="/wiki/The_Shiny_Show" title="The Shiny Show">The Shiny Show</a></i>), traditional quizzes and panel games, reality television, and talent shows such as <i><a href="/wiki/New_Faces" title="New Faces">New Faces</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Opportunity_Knocks_(UK_TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Opportunity Knocks (UK TV series)">Opportunity Knocks</a></i>. Regional shows (including those made in languages other than English) are included, though typically in less detail than those broadcast nationwide. The oldest television programme featured is <i><a href="/wiki/Spelling_Bee" class="mw-redirect" title="Spelling Bee">Spelling Bee</a></i> from 1938, which is believed to be the world's first television game show, and the oldest radio programme featured is What's Wrong With This? from 1925.
