Bring back ....

6th

Ok so if you could bring back any game show what would it be?

Ruu_Old

Would have to be Blockbusters (original host of course but dont think Bob is able to do so anymore)

TomCo

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?

Ah the hairstyles! I dont think there was any other zones than the ones mentioned. *plays harmonica*

strike it lucky with barrymore was class,its a shame it all went pear shaped for him.
voted for blockbusters though,top show

hullaballoo

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?

fade2black

What was that game with the giant keyboard in front of a screen,.....used to be on sunday nights...I think I liked that...

Funsterdelux

Its got to be The Crystal Maze, its like Indiana Jones and a gameshow in one, you cant lose!

thats going to bug me all day now

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.

fade2black

Well Ruu, what kind of mod are you???? What's the quiz show I was thinking of?

*rubs chin* It wasnt Gamesmaster was it?

Ron DMC

Perhaps fade2black is referring to 'the Lyrics Board'.


I think that they should bring back Supermarket Sweep.

fade2black

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!

fuzzywiggle

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!

byte

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!

byte

Weh! Found it!

It was called All Clued Up!

What a blast from the past. I just about remember that. Can't remember the rules or what went on but I liked it!

Schnap *points to my page 2 entry* Never heard it before.

God bless you Byte and Ruu......

That was indeed it.

Kudos to this forum.

Tori

I'd love to see them bring back The Generation Game - it was hilarious!! Or does anyone remember Celebrity Squares?:)

red_fox

Ah, the memories *sniff*

Crystal Maze was a legend of a show used to love it! Strike it lucky was pretty cool too! Barrymore was so funny! Be great to see these 2 shows back on the air! they were so much better than some of the $hit on telly today!

Ruu_Old

I forgot about Going for Gold with Henry Kelly.

Really couldn't stand that show. Not even sure why but everything about it irritated me.

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

Probably because of Henry Kelly, incredibly boring host.

fade2black

The heat is on...the time is right...

Ah going for gold. If I was watching those contestants with their cheesy waves i knew I was late back to school after lunch...

Tar.Aldarion

Crystal maze ftw, was going to go for blockbusters before I saw this option. Best. Gameshow. Ever.

fuzzywiggle

Carnal Knowledge tbh

r3nu4l

Bullseye! I always wanted to win a speedboat...nowhere to put it but...

Lamia

Definitely Crystal Maze, used to love that show.

Again only if Richard O' Brien was the host. He just had this eerie aura about him.

Ruu_Old

Richard O'Brien and "mumsy"

Lamia

*shudder*

That man always had the strangest dress sense.

Some great memories here. (It's like the All Things Retro forum tbh.) I loved Knightmare, it was on re-run on Challenge TV about eighteen months ago. Legend show.

I used to love watching Blockbusters with my mam. All those hippy students

Going for Gold was great too. Isn't there a French language version, Questions pour un Champion or somesuch.

Ruu_Old

Well looks like Crystal Maze is the clear winner here. Some of the prizes were atrocious (not in Crystal Maze but others) though, "I'm afraid you're going home with the thesaurus today".:p

He's going on 78 this year, my god! Where's time going? Still have the board game on top of the wardrobe.

It has been brought back but with a new host and I'm not a fan of him either. Dave Spikey or something???

Does anyone remember 'It's A Knockout'? - the best laugh ever!

Les Denis hosted that, or Frank Bruno? I know both of them done it at some stage. Another obstacle course type thing was it?

This post has been deleted.

Ruu_Old

It was yeah, had that "Dirty Den" chap as one of the hosts playing the bad guy always putting down the contestants.

jhegarty

15 to 1


was the best quiz on tv...

Yeah it was an obstacle course one - had guys trying to complete it in huge Sumo Wrestler fat suits some of the time and they did one with the Royal family - a total joke! Not sure about Les Denis or Frank Bruno. I can't think of the original guy's name but he had an infectious high pitched laugh.

Ruu_Old

High pitched laugh eh? That sounds awfully like Les Denis.

Nightwish

The Crystal Maze only... and only if Richard O Brien did it.

Or maybe the Krypton Factor, that was cool.

Found out his name was Stuart Hall - ring any bells?
