    Bearing in mind the news that Blockbusters is to return, what beloved old gameshows would you like to resurrect?

    For me, it would have to be Play Your Cards Right and Bullseye.

    You Bet. I thought it was good fun. Good nutjobs on telly too at peak viewing times.

    And they were actually doing something rather than sitting around in a house for 24 hours acting like spanners.

    Interceptor!

    And Interbang. (The kids running around following clues finding statues of the leaning tower of Pisa with an interrobang on the bottom [was a question and exclamation mark in one]).

    I just loved the era when people won sh!tty prizes like glass decanters and knife sets and were still delighted.

    The Price Is Right was great when Leslie Crowther presented it, but Joe Pasquale ruined it :(

    Some of the prizes on Bullseye were classic.
    Most of the stuff looked like it was found in a charity shop.
