Wilma was my maths teacher at school and when she told us she was on Every Second Counts we didn't believe her so the next day she brought in VHS tape of the show and the whole class got to watch it instead of our lesson!
Didn't realise what a great quiz show host Paul Daniels was, watched this and Odd One Out as a kid, he doesn't smother the contestants with overly familiar kisses, hugs and creepy touches like others used to and he's a great presenter
Amazing Gameshow used to watch this every time it was on with my mum.Lovely memories & please download more & Wipeout would be good too.RIP Paul Daniels♥️♥️
The U.K had some great UNDERATED game shows. This one, Trivial Pursuit (Tony Slattery), Consentration, All Clued Up, Lucky Ladders, Crosswits, Chain Letter and Wipeout (Paul Daniels)
Trivial Pursuit with Rory McGrath was way better at least it was played on the Triv board - The Tony Slattery version was just a straight Q&A done on the cheap
Happy memories from my childhood of this being on TV on a Saturday night. Some of the jokes seem a bit off now but it’s of it’s era, and interesting to see how times change. I thought Wilma & George were worthy winners. I wonder if they are still together and if they enjoyed their prizes!
@@sg-zd8ebThe first 2 series, a total of 29 episodes, were on Saturdays. Series 3, 4 and 5 were on Fridays. The 6th series was on Saturdays. The 7th series was on Tuesdays and final two series, 8 and 9, were on Thursdays.
EVERY... FACT... COUNTS! The entrance / archway thingy Paul Daniels appears from was built by the set designers with a regular sized man in mind... Obviously Paul is quite a lot smaller than that so they came up with '...zoom... in... thrice!" to negate it. Yeah super fun fact!
Oh it looks extremely dated, was just thinking the same thing. Partly it's all the prizes laid out on the studio floor which look totally of their time.
I once sent an E-mail (4 years ago) to Challenge to ask for old game shows to be shown. And even mentioned if they would consider making a second Challenge channel. Other channels have a second or as some call it a sister channel. And Challenge 2 could be dedicated to classic british gameshows.
