Caught an episode of The Weakest Link on Challenge the other week and had forgotten how good it could be. Kind of took it for granted when it was on every day for years. Got to be The Chase though. It’s the only thing we actually watch on TV and not on Catchup/Netflix. 

[Bjornebye]

Narrowed it down now to Crystal Maze, Play Your Cards Right or Big Break.

The Chase is good. 

 

But it's got to be old school 15 to 1 with William G. presenting, for me. I always remember that a bloke called Bill Windmill won it one year.

Always liked Bullseye, Jim Bowen was unintentionally hilarious most of the time.

Gone with Play Your Cards Right. Its just the quintessential gameshow isn't it. Friday night telly with Brucie.

Don't think it was him. Can't remember what he looked like, just the name.

Brucie was the consummate game show host, so it has to be one of his. I went for Play Your Cards Right, even if The Price is Right had Emma Noble.

Didn't realise Richard Keys shaved his forearms.

I always thought Play Your Cards Right was absolute keek tbh 

[Mudface]

Blankety Blank was my favourite as a kid, don't really watch them now, but Pointless is ok.

[TheBitch]

You Bet!

 

"Tonight we have Kevin from Towcester who's going to tell us his challenge now" 

 

"I can name every single car make, model and engine size from 1967 just by looking at the nearside tail light"

 

Or something ridiculous like Xena from Carlise is going to drive her hovercraft over a 7 mile course popping 25 balloons using a homemade spike made from birch attached to the rear of her hovercraft.

 

Saturday nights at my nan's were ace.

Les Dawson's Blankety Blank for me

Does anyone remember that one that was on about 10/15 years ago where they had a family and one of the family members had a week to learn something or how to do something mad to win the family a load of wedge and a holiday? Fuck knows what it was called but one episode had a woman who had to learn every single stop on the tube in order by line. Fucking brutal it was. She had tube stops plastered all over her walls, fridge etc. I can't remember how she did but she did fucking well.

I'm lying here, as a kid, Crackerjack was by far the best.

 

Bamboozled would have been brilliant, a real contender to Don't Scare the Hare, shame it never took off-

Universally Challenged.

Great thread, Stig. I love game shows, me. Incredibly difficult to choose a favourite. Given it some thought and I’m still torn between Knightmare, Blockbusters, Pointless, The Crystal Maze (Richard O’Brien) and The Krypton Facton (purely for the assault course).

Fun house.
