The TV Quiz Show Thread

I’ve been so bored this week I’ve caught a few repeats of old episodes of Bullseye.

A couple of them have been from the first series in 1981 on ATV before it switched to Central. Poor old Jim is all on his own. No Tony Green. No off screen guy announcing the prizes.

But the real eye opener is Jim’s interviews with the guests at the start of the show.

Fuck me, if it was on now, he’d be arrested on numerous charges before he got anywhere near the third couple.

I remember one show when a "slightly" overweight lady was a contestant. You're on a sponsored slim I believe said Jim, yes I am, said the lady. Jim's response HOW MUCH DO YOU OWE THEM? Brilliant.
 
Just watched an old episode of Who wants to be a millionaire?

The question was "how many goals for England did Gary Lineker score?
The bloke went for 50/50 and it came up 38 or 48.
He then asked to call a friend, who was his son.
He spoke with his son, who said "48".

"How confident are you?" the contestant asked?

"50/50" the son replied!

Fortunately the son was correct and he went with his son's instinct.
