The show aired weekly in a prime-time slot on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 pm, running for 126 episodes across its original run and quickly becoming a staple for young audiences interested in video games. The format of centered on competitive challenges, where contestants—often teenagers or celebrities—competed head-to-head on popular consoles of the era, such as those featuring titles like , with winners receiving the iconic Golden Joystick trophy. Diamond introduced segments with banter and innuendo, while astronomer Sir provided narration as the disembodied, authoritative "GamesMaster" character—a floating head that delivered verdicts and tips in a stern, otherworldly tone. Production evolved annually, with sets themed around fantastical locations like a church or an oil rig to mimic levels, and episodes included game reviews, gameplay hints, and celebrity guests such as Vic Reeves, , and members of . Diamond temporarily exited after series 2 due to contract disputes, including his opposition to a two-year sponsorship deal with , which he felt compromised the show's edgy independence; he was replaced by actor for series 3 before returning for series 4 with greater creative input. GamesMaster achieved significant cultural impact as the first dedicated television programme to video gaming, helping to legitimize the medium as a mainstream entertainment form and shifting perceptions away from its "nerdy" during the 16-bit to 32-bit console transition. The series tripled the ratings of its predecessor in the time slot, drawing steady viewership that reflected the growing popularity of gaming among youth, and its blend of , humor, and insider knowledge influenced subsequent formats in gaming media and beyond, such as automotive shows like Top Gear. For Diamond, the early success brought personal challenges, including the pressure of sudden celebrity status and on-set tensions, such as a public feud with producer Dave in series 6, which led to Perry's departure after a heated segment. Although the show received no major broadcast awards, its pioneering role cemented Diamond's reputation as a trailblazer in gaming television.

Later television projects

Filmed partly in the during , the program followed his participation in a crucifixion reenactment at San Pedro Cutud, though he ultimately withdrew from being nailed to the cross, citing emotional overwhelm. The documentary aired in September 2006, prompting discussions on the ethics of such stunts. In 2006, Diamond made guest appearances in programs such as Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive on , where he featured as himself in an episode satirizing television production. These minor roles marked sporadic returns to the screen amid a broader slowdown in major hosting gigs. Diamond faced significant challenges in maintaining television prominence after GamesMaster, including severe insomnia that began around 2002 and led him to turn down lucrative work, resulting in substantial lost income. He later revealed periods of depression exacerbated by career pressures and the "laddism" of media, which he hid for years before quitting in 2009 due to burnout and financial strain.
