Saw this in a magazine the other day:

Blankety Blank — If you think you could guess what 6 celebs are thinking then why not apply for the show - you never know, you could win loads of dough! To get on the show write, with your details included to:
LILY SAVAGE'S BLANKETY BLANK
Thames Television
1 Stephen Street
London
W1T 1AL

A mistake, surely? I thought Paul O Grady had vowed not to work for ITV again? Unless it's not going to be produced for ITV?

I would love it if it did come back, as watching the old episodes on challenge remind me of how great the programme was. And I'd love to see Paul doing Lily again, though Paul's Blankety Blank would be just as good, though Lily would seperate Paul from the channel 4 show.

As for ITV, now that they have a new team, perhaps they've been talking to him about projects. Surely they can't be that bad for other people to have worked for them for so long.

Nothing beat the Dawson version. Les was pure class.

Well Paul has been saying that Lily is going to return from her convent in France (where "she took the veil" Laughing ).

I think POG stopped doing said programme in 2002 because of the heart attack. When he went on talkshows after that incident, he said he was going to stop doing Lily and BB, because it was too much bother.

However I think he wants to do Lily again, because he can "get away with murder" as her!

Would Talkback-Thames produce a programme for Channel 4? Or do they just deal with ITV?

I bet it will be a Channel 4 commission, probably airing in a late night slot

I doubt it'll be on ITV or BBC

You really shouldn't bother these companies by ringing them up. They do have lots of work to do you know.

I've got loads of VHS tapes of uncut footage of Lily on Blankety Blank when it returned on the BBC. They are real corkers! Especially when he swears at the audience.

Yes, like dealing with applications to appear on an old gameshow that hasn't been recommissioned. Smile
