A bit of fun the play. Can remember some of them , but not others. They all seem so dated today and so stereotyped, but yes that is the way we where. Thanks for posting...
The 70's and 80's ones were instantly recognisable. No so the older ones. The names of which I'm kind of familiar with but never watched as editions of quiz shows were never repeated, so if you weren't around at the time, you never got to see them. Mind own fault for not being born yet! 🤣
Not only did I grow up in NZ but dad didn't buy a telly until 1977 - he didn't like them, I ditched mine years ago now as well - the only games shows I remember as a teen was Generation Game with Bruce Forsythe which the whole family could and did enjoy. I saw 3 2 1 and Bullseye when I visited my grandparents in Suffolk in '83 (loved the show, best game show next to generation game in my opinion as it was genuine fun) and I remember Blockbuster from years ago now when I moved to Ireland. However I did grow up listening to shows like My Music, Just a Minute and the like on the wireless and personally I think they were and still are far more enjoyable than their TV equivalents (3 2 1 and Generation Game excluded, definitely great fun) Enjoyable quiz as I've heard of many of the shows over the years even if I haven't seen them.
Nice to have a quiz based on a British subject, but I never got into game shows (too much homework) so I managed to get exactly two of these. Looking forward to your next subject that might give me a fighting chance! 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I can remember the two quiz shows Ted Rogers with 3-2-1 and Bob Holness with Blockbusters and Jimmy Tarbuck hosted The Winner Takes All and Tarbuck's Frame Game and I know lots more quiz shows as I still remember the quiz show called The Golden Shot with Bob Monkhouse as I heard Dana singing on the show Please Tell Him That I Said Hello as I will be playing it very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyx
Quiz Show Quiz: 18/25.🤔 I made a couple of mistakes: I wrote “Give is a Break” instead of “Big Break” and “Crossword” instead of “Crosswits”! I had forgotten “Every Second Counts.” I had never heard of “Masterteam” with Angela Rippon?! Quiz Show Quiz... what an inspiration!!😃
22/25. The ones that eluded me were the Angela Rippon one (which I took as Busman's Holiday), the Double your Money one (which I took as a very early version of Opportunity Knocks) and the Lennie Bennett one, which I just couldn't remember the name of.
The quiz shows from the 60’s to the 70’s to the 80’s evolved and became more sophisticated. By the 80’s and ‘thatcherism’ people were more sophisticated, they travelled more. The format of the shows became more ‘pizazz’ I think by the mid 90’s TV was starting to change and for me not for the better.
I managed to guess a couple of familiar formats and even knew the name of the British version in one case. The vast majority were before my time and before the internet obviously.
Well I thought after the first six this is pretty straightforward and then it all went wrong and I got nine incorrect which was disappointing but I suppose I would be super sad if I got every single one right😂 great bit of fun✌️👍🍻
I'll never understand why 3-2-1 was popular. The clues were mostly incomprehensible, it wasn't funny and it was overly long. Were the prizes any better than other shows at the time?
