Catchphrase returns

Viewing several vintage episodes resulted in me putting the closest thing to a clean version
of the buzzer noise. Less hacked than the one in the new series.

Catchphrase returns

A lot better than I thought it would be. Still a few teething issues but really enjoyable.

THE END OF T4 AND FRESHLY SQUEEZED.

Even this documentary, shown just a couple of months before T4 started, suggests "youth TV" had died even as far back as the mid 90s.

Catchphrase returns

From Mulhern's Twitter: "Good morning all, I can confirm I will be hosting a brand new series of Catchphrase for ITV1. I am very excited!"

Blockbusters

Love it. The time up signifier for the Gold Run is superb!

Whoa now! It's only a theme tune not a Beethoven piano recital at the Symphony Hall!


Although there is a hint of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony within the tune itself!

This slightly more "colourised" version by the same user is even better, although I prefer
the the theme arrangement from the first one.

Saturday Night Takeaway to return.

Nearly three years now. Hopefully long enough to think through a refresh, as opposed to another reprieve of "Ant Vs Dec".

So howcome no further series' of The Whole 19 Yards or Pokerface, or Beat The Star?


Ha!

There was nothing within the programme that hadn't been done before.

The worst part was the five minute introductions to the final 10 contestants which was pointless
as they're only going to be there for one night.

Pokerface personally, did get dropped sooner than it should have done and wasn't
too bad as series.

Where's Clare Bradley when you need her!


The current gardner Chris Collins happened to be in my neck of the woods not long
ago come to think of it judging a primary school gardening contest.

Slightly straying, but it's worse than just expecting the garden to rot in itself.

That's worse than I assumed it would be before clicking on the link.

I'm guessing they got the same people to vandalise it as in 1983.

Roy Skelton

There were quite a few. The most prominent were Stanley Bates and Malcolm Lord.

If I remember correctly, another Doctor Who stalwart John Leeson was the original voice.
