Aii - I did used to love this show - was a great show and always kept me on my toes!

This and Blockbuster, which at one point in my student years I considered going on with my friend, but we never did get around to it :)

Ahh, those were the days! Thats a totally awesome clip! I love it when live TV goes tits up. That used to be an honest Saturday tea time show and Mr. Chips is smashing one off :lol: .

What about Strike it Lucky? When Barrymore used to be funny and a total icon. That was always going wrong i.e. tripping up steps and the TV's not working. Quality.

You see I never liked Les Dennis. If there were a Pop Idol type contest to find a gamshow host, he'd be the kind of tacky person they'd find. Was never a big fan of Family Fortunes.

The other thing that I don't like about Les Dennis is that he was able to pull Amanda Holden :angry: How? No, Seriously.... How?

This is very funny! I think I saw this first on one of Denis Norden's shows It'll Be Alright On The Night....

Roy Walker: What do you think it is?

Male contestant: "Tip The Waiter?"

Tip the waiter - lol!!

Roy Walker is a legend! Catchphrase went rapidly downhill after he left.

As for Les Dennis - he should have been drowned at birth. He only made a name for himself after being Russ Abbott's sidekick for years, but when he 'went solo', he was awful. Every week on Family Fortunes, he'd try to be funny with the same old tedious impression of Mavis from Coronation Street.

He did try a few attempts at acting too - making a few appearances on Brookside, Casualty and a few others - but fortunately, his acting skills were as stale as his impressions, meaning we don't see much of him now.

I also don't find Amanda Holden that attractive either. I don't see what all the fuss is about. Don't get me wrong - she's not bad, but she's fairly average compared to loads of other celebrities out there. She's fairly 'plain Jane'.
