The mrs is in the living room watching the new one with Alan Carr and celebrities. I'm in the kitchen watching the original and best, this is true british weekend television the way it should be done 😊
Just seeing the new LWT ident, it was the beginning of a new era for itv. This was the final series from 1987, and didn't return until 1994, with a complete make over. Bruce was a tv quiz legend
For decades I have been annoyed when Bruce says a Jack is a good card (like he did in this game) but a 5 is a bad card (as he did in this game). They’re both the same! A five has 2-3-4 lower than it and a Jack has a Q-K-A higher than it! Same mathematical probability of losing!
Iconic - just every ounce of it...Bruce, the intro graphics - the LWT intro graphics and jingles, back then the landscape of ITV in its old form really was dynamic and it showed!
