Old game shows
 

Nowadays, I cant bear game shows but as a kid I used to have a fondness for them

Specifically, I had forgotten all about this,

Also, From Norwich, its the quiz of the week, as an 8 year old I so wanted that pewter horse,

A bit more obvious, and better remembered.

And the price is right,

Perhaps a bit of Brucey ?

And a bit more Brucey, he looked old even then !

Remember being round at grandparents and these being on, remember being transfixed on the shiny prices, stuff was less attainable then and it was all so exciting.

Dusty bin...that takes me back...to being glued infront the Philips TV with the the dodgy colour (had to hit it to get it back, repaired eventually). I still have that TV in the attic, still works ok.

Back then the parents still married and happy. New build house (sold after divorce :( ). The turgid green Bridgecraft 3pc suit. The MKIII Escort estate (that wouldn't start in winter due to auto choke playing up - even though it was new). Winters had snow as deep as I was tall, Long summers as hot as the Sahara. Being taken to see the F1GPs, ETCC, Moto GP, Truck racing.

Good times :cool:

Ted Rogers? Always came over as a thoroughly nasty piece of work.

Now Bruce, I like.

Uncle Ted a nasty piece of work ? you just couldn't deal with his superior finger gymnastics and sentient Dustbin.

I used to love Blockbuster. RIP Bob.

Did you know, he played the sax solo in Baker St. ;)

The intros before the programme, LTV, ATV etc brings back memories..lol

How about a bit of Krypton Factor, love the 80's theme tune

This takes me back to Thursday evenings in the early 90's, whatever happened to Richard O'Brian?

http://youtu.be/5dy553E_oa0

can anyone explain the rules of 321

Urban myth....he probably ate out on that for 30 years

Treasure Hunt with Anneka Rice,she was a bit of a looker back then,although i wasn't at that age to see women in a sexual way. :(

The Interceptor,some angry blonde guy chasing people with what looked like a fisher price laser gun.:lol1:

:D

You must be as old as the Titanic,fooking black and White. :D

HA!! I knew that would entice you out! :smug: :p

A pic of you Flashing your Gorgeous firm breasts would entice me out too. :p

Trust me. It wouldn't. :p

I'll be the judge of that ;)

Loved Bullseye!

Something so nice about the tankard with the darts and cash in!

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned "Double Your Money" with Hughie Green?

Also, what the hell was that one that seemed to be a fore-runner to Crystal maze, adults battling against dragons, everything they battled was an anagram of Dragon?

I was travelling with a colleague during the week and while passing the time we were discussing this very subject. It is interesting how things have changed - the "star prize" used to be a speedboat a new kitchen or caravan which in monetary terms possibly equated to around £10K now the glittering prize is an obscene amount of money at least ten times that value.

I looked, but couldn't find a clip for it. :)

Was it Bullseye where the winners of the speedboat always seemed to live in a tower block in the middle of built up Liverpool :D

You missed the winking smilie. It was a lie made up by Stuart Marconi!

Steve

Come on, come on, what WAS that one with dragons?

Beat the teacher was pretty good too.

How about University Challenge: with the Young Ones:

That would be Toxteth O'Grady..............

:D

This was a good one

:D

Yes it was.:D

Apparently they used to get a special deal if they bought three of them. When the contestants won the special prize they'd wheel out the speedboat. However they also had some blokes on standby ready to bring out the car if they didn't win. Jim Bowen admitted this after the programme was axed.:D

321 was the most inexplicably complicated and boring game show ever. Never understood it. The only good thing was when it finished a decent film used to follow it.

Bring back "Jeux sans Frontieres".

I wouldn't know - I was a toddler, I just watched it to see Dusty bin. :lol1:

The Adventure Game. Drogna! Drogna! Think it was usually on after Newsround. Seem to recall the uncle was some aspidistra.

Have a gander at this

Loved the "...they would nick their crystal and hide it..."

Viewing it now, it seems perhaps it was a little more adult, or at least teen natured than I first thought.
