BBC Call my Bluff 70s with Robert Robinson & team captains Fwank Muir & the incomprehensible Patrick Campbell, plus surprise star guests (edmundz turned up on everything in those days). Wat a bunch of zobos!
Great to see this old footage of Patrick Campbell, very funny and witty man. As a child growing up with a stammer in the 70's I found him completely inspiring and still do. I can't think of anyone else with a significant stammer who ever appeared on prime time TV either before or since. RIP Patrick.
The saddest thing the way this fades out, with Patrick struggling to find words as the light dims and that time fades away from us, another time of better men and we are thrown back to ours.
A host who doesn't sound like he's introducing acts at a festival, no screaming audience, no "Ooh, look at me, look at me" reality show celebrity contestants that you've never heard of and a set that isn't a lurid neon nightmare.
Surprised to learn that Patrick Campbell had a peerage title, the 3rd Baron Glenavy. The title became extinct with the death of his brother the 4th baron.
As a kid, the youngest in family, I used to love watching Call My Bluff on the still relatively new-fangled BBC 2. It was wonderfully genteel and entertainingly enlightening.
