Anyone remember getting home from school or work and watching Blockbusters on ITV at tea-time with Bob Holness? As Justin Lee Collins would say, "Good times!". The original Blockbusters ran from 29 August 1983 to 4 June 1993. The clip above features the intro theme tune from the 80s ![]()
This charades-based panel show ran from 1979 until 1992 on ITV. The team leaders were Lionel Blair (boys) and Una Stubbs (girls), although Liza Goddard replaced Una Stubbs in later series'. Between 1979 and 1983 the show was hosted by Michael Aspel, who was replaced by Michael Parkinson in 1984.
This fabulous clip starts with the dodgy Anglian Television ident, followed by a few minutes of the Sale of the Century quiz show featuring Nicholas Parsons as the host. The show ran from 1972 until 1983 and this episode was shown on 20th May 1983.
Bob's Full House was an 80s TV game show featuring the late, great comedian Bob Monkhouse as the host. The game was kind of based on bingo if I remember correctly, and the show would begin with a lengthy and topical stand-up comedy routine from Bob Monkhouse in his legendary slick style.
The Adventure Game, 24 May 1980 hosted by Newsreader Moira Stuart with Elizabeth Estensen, Fred Harris and Mark Dugdale . I was just almost a teenager when this show started and I probably watched every episode! |
