    Catchphrase.

    God I loved Catchphrase

    "Schay watcha shee"

    Edit: Also crystal maze, what were the original zones in that?
    Aztec, Medieval, Future, Ocean? Was that a later addition?

    The Price is Right is still on. It's some really camp guy presenting it and the rules are different, but it's back nonetheless. God I can't stand that show.

    It was way better when Bruce used to present it!

    What about Love at First Sight with Bruno Brookes?

    Crystal maze was a winner though the episodes with Richard O'Brien as host were better IMHO. The original zones were Aztec, Medieval, Future and Industrial (later replaced by Ocean).

    The other show I vote to resurrect is Knightmare!

    Blockbusters for me :) although The Crystal Maze would be a close second but I think that Richard O'Brien was definitely the best host, never watched it after he left. He just made the show funny!

    With you on both of those. Also 'The Adventure Game' - I loved the 'vortex' round and would scream at the tv when the player was getting too close to it :)

    The Adventure Game was great, as was Knightmare...

    Challenge show loads of the old gameshows. I'd much rather watch re-runs than have any of them reproduced.

    If we learned anything from Blockbusters, it would be to leave great formats alone. What a disaster Sky made of it.

    Perhaps fade2black is referring to 'the Lyrics Board'.


    I think that they should bring back Supermarket Sweep.

    Gamesmaster was a terrible guess, The lyrics board is also a terrible guess but i'll forgive ronny because of the sunday night clue, also, I meant keyboard as in computer keyboard.

    Gamesmaster:rolleyes:

    And I never use that smiley! ;)

    The Price is Right and Catchphrase is back already! The Price is Right is hosted by Joe Pasquale who has the most irritating voice ever so it isn't as enjoyable.

    Out of that list I would go for Blockbusters! To the gold run!

    Argh! I remember it all right. But damned if I can remember the name of it! Or even the presenter. I'm near sure it was on ITV.

    This is going to wreck my head now and Google isn't helping! :(

    I'd love to see Crystal Maze return, but only if Richard O' Brien was host.

    Probably because of Henry Kelly, incredibly boring host. :)
