Let us not forget Challenge used to air wrestling.  Albeit it as a spill over from when Bravo closed, so on that basis anything goes these days.  And they used to air Beadle's About as well, which is about as far away from "gameshow" as you could possibly get, even chopping it up as ten minute inserts to fill awkward gaps in the schedule.

I suppose Beadle’s About was a very loose game show in the same vein as Noel’s House Party (which would suit Challenge better) but it was much more of a variety show than many game elements.

The modern day equivalents of Beadle’s About and House Party are probably Michael McIntyre’s Big Show and Saturday Night Takeaway.

Beadle’s About was more in the comedic Big Show mode, whereas House Party had more game elements like Takeaway. House Party and Takeaway would belong oh Challenge more than Beadle’s About and Big Show.
