Something for the Weekend is a British game show presented by Denise van Outen. It was broadcast on Channel 4 from 17 September 1999 to 21 July 2000.[1][2][3]

Well-remembered items on the show included a game called Private Dicks and van Outen revealing she used the pet name Godzilla for then-partner Jay Kay's privates, because he "takes [her] deeper underground".

Reception

The show was critically panned.[4][5][6][7][8][9] Since then van Outen has distanced herself from the show.[10][11]
