Has anyone else noticed this programme popping up everywhere and all over the place?

I saw it a few days ago and couldn't really work it out :blink: My kids seemed to like it though :lol: .

Then I started to remember all those really great quizzes that used to be on TV that were compulsive viewing...

3-2-1, Price is Right, Play Your Cards Right...even Sale of the Century (:hihi:) these used to herald the start of the weekend for me...but there's nothing to compare now :(.

I like a good quiz, but there just seems to be nothing to cater for this audience now - I think Who Wants to Be a Millionaire has lost its shine too now.

Coo, remember when the Generation Game was compulsory viewing on Saturday evenings...ok it was really stupid but it was still a laugh...

and Friday nights were sale of the century nights, and i loathed nicholas parsons...now i listen to him on 'just aminute' and think hes brilliant!

3 2 1 was great but could i ever get any of the clues???no way!

i dunno about that 24 hour quiz, i couldnt make head nor tail of it...has it finished then?

But, anybody remember Bernie the Bolt?

No :(

But I do remember when it was compulsory for any quiz show to be hosted by Bob Monkhouse :rolleyes:

Bernie the Bolt?? :blink:

See, now I've remembered Celebrity Squares (whoever was in the middle was always the funniest), Blankety Blank (with el Tel, not Paul O'Grady) :(

What's happened to those days? :sad:

I feel quite mournful now :lol:

It was the GOLDEN SHOT!!! And guess who the host was...dear old Bob Monkhouse (god bless) was it on in the afternoons on sundays...i dunno why i think that...

I remember HN, when I was doing my english O level, there was a serialisation on BBC of Great Expectations which was one of my set texts...and I really wish they would repeat it...it was sooo excellent. and i do remember the narnia tales as well, cor why cant they repeat those as well? great stuff :D :thumbs:

Bullseye!!! :rolleyes:

I liked it too - used to be on Sundays, early evening - the only thing worth watching at that time! I was so envious of the prizes - esp the ''his n' her'' bikes :hihi:

I know a lot of these things are on Challenge TV (for us digital types) but it just isn't the same :sad:

But Mazza, hardly anyone used to win them anyway!!

Never mind.....lets take a look at what you could have won! B)

:lol: BC, it's true!

But Bullseye was surely not as tricky as Strike it Lucky...I really don't remember anyone winning that and Michael Barrymore was not one for being sympathetic to the hapless losers!
