That certainly moved along a lot better than the 1957 episode posted yesterday on the WML? channel. I think that little bit of a mime at the beginning of the round added nothing to the program, (programme? since this was the UK version) except to confuse the panel.
Not bad, the contestants were interesting, but the applause after every "Yes" gets really annoying! I enjoyed the adverts too. We had those "Raisin Splits" in the states too, but they were called something different. :)
Jeffrey Archer....oh, dear. I'd entirely forgotten that there used to be an actual announcer on camera in those days. Peter Marshall used to do a good job of it.
The UK version of the programs really sucks compared to what CBS did with host John Daly. What is also annoying is that stupid applause every time there is a yes. I’m surprised it ran for so long considering how poor a copy is it from the one produced by Mark Goodson and Bill Todman.
Almost felt sorry for the panel, they seemed utterly clueless, the questions were completely disjointed, no teamwork at all. Shame as I loved the BBC version with Eamon Andrews back in the '50s and '60s. What an embarrassment.
I don't want to seem rude (or anything else,) but... nothing makes me laugh harder than a black person with an English accent. I can't help it... My brain is just like "what the hell?!" haha
