S09E07 Call My Bluff 11 November 1974 

My late mum loved Call My Bluff. She and I would watch every week. Simple format, but effective. Muir and Campbell were great Captains.

Wow I remember sat with my late mam and dad watching this every week, I was 9 years old when this was aired thanks for the upload and the memory compared to today I wish it was 1974 again it wasn't perfect but a hell of a lot simpler then and people were a lot happier and healthier.

Wonderful memories of a much better Britain. Thank you!

Gosh it's decades since I last watched this. Really wonderful, simple format. Doubt it'd get past the beeb in 2023.

How TV has drastically declined in class since this show . Entertaining, informative & funny. Harmless . Now people actually watch shows like The View!

I remember the show well growing up super panel game thought ideal host and captains.

Classic TV when it was worth watching and catered to the general public , before it became an indoctrination tool as it is today Loved this show , educational also

Only Dr Who fans will get it. The Valeyard playing Call My Bluff.........Aaaaaaaaaarrrr !

Love it. Where can I get more of this show from the same decade?

I think this was Golden Period Call My Bluff, the early 70s. It was rather adult content for a 9 year old me, and I didnt quite get the innuendos, but the laughter was infectious all the same. Learning new words appealed to me, but the hidden subtext concerned deceiving people with realistic sounding lies, or the art of bullshitting, so perhaps I absorbed a useful skill after all.

Muir's first guest is Pamela Harlech.

Gyles Brandreth and Victoria Coren would be great team captains if made today. Not sure who would present it though. Michael Portillo perhaps?

An intelligent celebrity panel game. Impossible in the current era.

Just a slightly more cerebral forerunner of Would I Lie To You, both great shows in very different ways.

Muir was 54 years old here. He looks 84.

Call My Bluff... Would I Lie To You for the bourgeoisie!

I got all the answers all correct (thanks, Google!!) 😄

Wonderful, wonderful television. Intelligent, witty and played by true celebrities in every sense. BBC has truly lost the plot since these era.

Ian Ogilvy was a regular in the late 70s, as I recall.

The BBC at its most patrician. Still enjoyable, nonetheless.

01:34 You don't fool me, that's Len Goodman! (Then he opens his mouth) Ooops, definitely not!
