I wouldn't say Beadle's About was a gameshow by any stretch of the imagination. Its just basically Candid Camera in new colours.
House Party (and Takeaway) just wrap various elements around a larger wrapper, but that doesn't make the whole thing a "game show" as such. Some of its segments may be technically "game" but Challenge have said before (on social media or the like) if they wanted a specific segment from one of these shows (such as Run The Risk for example, which they did want at one point), it involved buying the whole episode. For RTR, that would involve buying episodes of Live & Kicking (and the latter year or so of Going Live) so it wasn't worth it.
