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

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?

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?

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

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

what about celebrity squares with the late bob monkhousexxxx(:

Thanks Christine, Its always nice when people can remember things that bug you, and that was bugging me as I could see him in front of me. Ah well little to worry about They used to have some good pop singers on the Golden Shot two I remember are Desmond Dekker he sang "You Can get It" and Tammy Lyn "I'm Gonna Run Away" I thought that was cool at the time.

Can remember my Grandad always liked that Anne Aston!, she could never add up!..

The black and white minstrel show, twizzle, sarah hoppitty and little mo, itsy and bitsy, woodentops i could go on...... lol sandra

Linda got Golden Shot before I did - it was on the previous page - credit where credit's due! lol Top of the Form didn't transfer well to television but loved it on the radio. Ask the Family with Robert Robinson (?)- the winners of the whole series got a television licence I think - wow!

Those minstrels used to fascinate me!.. whatever would kids today make of them!,(the mind boggles!)..

Thanks Mags! How about Name That Tune& Criss Cross Quiz? Linda x

My nan has solved the problem: Henry Kelly, Going For Gold. Remember now?

'I'll name that tune in 1' - I often didn't recognise the tune when they played it all lol And the tune they had to guess when they went into the glass box thing was usually so obscure - nobody had a snowball's chance in hell of guessing it! lol

wheel of fortune.........

Criss Cross Quiz (already mentioned, with Jeremy Hawk) Dotto The 64,000 question (£3,200 - a lot in the 1950s) Spot the Tune (with Jackie Rae and Marion Ryan) Pit Your Wits (quiz for viewers with Shaw Taylor) ITV Pencil and Paper (quiz for viewers with Kenneth Kendall) BBC

what about it's a knockout with stuart hall.xxxx(:

Remember Catchphrase, with Roy Walker, ha ha Mr Chips!..

What was the TV quiz game hosted by Noel Edmonds? The teams were made up families or friends and had odd nick names. I did used to watch it, but I can't remember the name! Ask me about Take Your Pick or Double Your Money, but anything newer than 1970...........forget it! LOL Had a really stressful day at work and I think my brain has given up completely! LOL Sue
