Product Information

Fremantle (UK) Productions and BBC North for BBC2, 31 March to 28 August 1997 (60 episodes in 1 series) make sure they know the aim is to join their colors up from one end of the board to the other( this is OFTEN forgotten) The show was delayed by all ITV regions until January 1990 as no slots were available to air the show. This was because Home and Away took over the 5.10pm slot and Emmerdale was now being aired at 6.30pm, before it was moved to 7pm in January 1990. Anglia, Central and TSW were airing repeats from September to December 1989. In the buzzer battle, if a player is unable to give an answer, their teammates may silently act out clues that may help their teammates get there.

Henry Marsh and Paul Boross composed a different, yet audibly similar, theme for the Aspel/BBC series. Here, she finished 12 seconds earlier than the other time. This time, it was a perfect path with no misses or passes. Championship Formats [ ]Collect as many Movie Cards in this round as you can in the 30 seconds provided. If you do a fantastic job and complete your three movies in time, you can move on to your rival's cards too. Stealing their cards will edge you closer to victory.

The format was so successful in Dubai that shops and offices closed early so that everyone could rush home to see it. In the mid-90s, there were two editions of the show for kids in Israel - one in Hebrew, one in Arabic.One gold run contestant giving Simon Mayo "World Wide Web" before he'd even asked the question, only for him to (rather sourly) mutter "just give me the letters". The answer to the question will start with the letter. ( this is what makes it such a great game for ESL and Native English Students. A 4×5 board of 20 hexagons was presented with a letter in each hexagon. A letter was chosen at random to start a game. The answer to the question would begin with the letter chosen. For example, if the letter B were chosen, a sample question could be, "What 'B' is a long silver rod twirled by a majorette or cheerleader?", in which case the correct answer would be "Baton". The contestant who buzzed in first would get a chance to answer the question. If correct, the space was marked with their color. If they were incorrect, the other side would get a chance to answer. If nobody answered correctly, another question was asked whose answer began with that same letter. Bob's trademark "sign off" of saluting his right hand into the air (usually accompanied with "Goodbye now!" or "Cheers!") was complained about by viewers who thought he was imitating the Nazi "Zeig heil" salute. Pacdude Games had two online games released that were based on the Cullen version of the show, mainly the bonus round.

Sky One: Mondays to Fridays at 7:00pm from 18 April to 30 September 1994 before moving to 6:30pm from 28 November 1994 to 17 February 1995. Now that there is a winner of the head-to-head challenge, the advantage is the winning team gets t choose the movie cards that go into the next round. All the cards fall into different genres, the idea is to collect them all, so this helps hedge the cards that are coming. The winners draw six movie cards, chooses three for them to take into their challenge and gives the remaining three to the other team.The game is pretty straightforward and is a quiz game where players have to choose a letter on the game board (see the images below) and answer the question under neath. Perhaps not an outtake as such, but two unusual answers were given when Bob asked the question, "What 'N' is meant by the phrase, 'Hit him on the Boko?'" One member of the double team buzzed and said, "Nob". The question was duly passed to the single player, who said' "Nag". The answer was in fact "Nose", so it could be argued that 'Nob' (not in the rude sense, obviously) was actually on the right lines. Both players now decide which Movie Cards to place face-down in the corresponding parking places on the Game Board. The categories (spaces) are: If you do not toggle the current question off you will not be able to see the next question when it is selected. E.g. both question A and B are selected below – but only question A can be seen. Granada moved the time slots around during this period, In Autumn 1990, the series was moved to 5.10pm, on occasion moved 3.25pm to allow episodes of Families to have the 5.10pm slot. The series was moved again to 6pm from Wednesdays to Fridays in 1992.

Their aim is to form a complete colored line either left to right ( Bue team) or vertically (Red team) and join up the colors along the top and bottom. And there's flashing blue (or white) light..." (this changed to "a flashing blue or white board" during the Mayo-era). This game was an instant hit with our games group, the Hairy Game Lords. Even my non-gaming, not seen many films, wife got involved on the second play through and thoroughly enjoyed it! The 1987 version of this show was the only series Bill Rafferty ever hosted on network television as all his others aired in syndication [ Every Second Counts (1984–1985) & Card Sharks (1986–1987)]. During the Sky/Holness era, the item of clothing given away was a t-shirt designed by a viewer. On it was the famous Zeus figurehead with a speech bubble saying "Can I Have A P Please, Bob?". The fan in question was interviewed by Bob in front of the gameboard after the first Gold Run of the series.Probably the most unusual question, which the contestants (understandably) failed to answer on the night, was, "What 'C' has four stiff-standers, four dilly-danders, two lookers, two crookers and a wig-wag?" The answer was 'Cow' (four legs, four teats, two eyes, two horns and a tail). Zatu has an excellent range of games and for most of them the best prices too. Delivery is always fast and I have never received a game in bad condition. 10/10 would recommend.
