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.

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

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.

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.
