Game shows were television shows in which contestants competed, generally for money.

Game shows hosted by robots were recorded and broadcast from the Bad Wolf Corporation's Game Station in orbit of Earth by 200,100. Contestants were taken to play aboard the Game Station via a transmat, with every human on Earth being a potential contestant. While winners were returned home with prize credits, losers were seemingly disintegrated. In reality, their were transmatted to the Dalek Fleet, where they were to be processed into Daleks of human origin. (TV: Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways)
