Charlie williams Pat!, Can't place that one Daniel, but know what you mean, will keep thinking!..

Christine, I was talking about way back in Black & White TV days (well our house anyway) some schools quiz? I hated Blankety Blank didnt Terry Wogan host that programme at sometime yuk. I did like the Generation Game with Larry Grayson and Isla St. Clare. Golden Shot was done by a block called Norman Vaughan (Roses Grow on you add) and a Mixed Race Yorkshire Man who had an annoying habit of calling everyone flower. God TV was in good in those days, wasnt it! LOL> Pat x

No not today Christine. Be back in tommorow. Another thing i remember is that the blocks lit up a very pinky/purple colour and the the host was about 50 with brown hair. I have seen him on TV again since then but just talking about past programmes and that. Any ideas who I mean?

Daniel, that was the newer version of Take your Pick, with Des, Can't quite remember the one with lines, think it was something ladders (or something!), I liked Crosswits, with Tom O connor, the crossword game!. Not at college Daniel?

The Golden Shot with Bob Monkhouse and 'Bernie the Bolt@ Magsx

You mean the GOLDEN SHOT with Bernie the bolt and Bob Monkhouse. Lindax

I'm only 16 so you'll probably thing my `old shows` are like brand new, but I remember being at my Great Nan's bungalow and watching something with an Des O'conner where you had to put the key in the boxes and not say yes or no. (I think) Also, one with an irishman where you had these sets of blocks running up the centre of the screen which lit up as each question was answered correctly. Can't remember anything else about that one. Roy walker on Catchphrase was good. On before Gladiators on Saturdays I remember.

He did one after called Raise the roof, a property quiz. I don't think there seems to be so many quizzes on kids t.v. now, it's sad in a way.

Christine "Blockbusters" was my fave. Didnt Bob do some other quiz show yonks before that one??? Do kids these days watch quiz shows? Pat x

My family would really laugh, Pat. I type with one finger and couldn't even do that until about 2 years ago!

what about blankety blank with les dawsonxxxxx(:

What about Blockbusters? I'll have a 'p' please Bob, ha ha that was a classic!..

Christine & Gwyneth Are you both typists, Jeez you were both so quickLOL. Pat x

Michael Miles Carol, used to like that gong, and always wondered if there was a different key to all those boxes! (was only about 12, at the time!) happy days..

Carol, Couldnt stand Hughie Green he had an evil eye!!! Was it Michael Miles that did Take your pick originally? Thanks Christine Peter Glaze, thats him. Pat x

Michael Miles on Take your pick?

ooooohhhh i could crush a grape!!!!!!!xxxx(:

A Crackerjack pen, and all the kids cheered. I used to like Double Your Money with Hughie Green and Take Your Pick but cant remember who did it.

What about 3-2-1, with Dusty Bin?, never could do that with my fingers!.

Think that's the one I remember with Leslie Crowther and Peter Glaze, a little man with glasses!....Crackerjack!, and don't forget that pencil, wonder what would happen if you gave kids a pencil for a prize these days! ha ha.
