In the original run of Blockbusters, the 'talking to contestants between games' was something of a necessity as it took the board a short time to change around as the pre-arranged sets of slides for the next game were placed in the slide projectors.


Yes.. because the shows were live weren't they.... Rolling Eyes


Actually he's completely right -- if you're talking about the original *US* version, which went out pretty much as-live, warts and all.

Thanks Rob. Very Happy

Listening to it back I think the second loop jumps in a bit too quickly. Maybe it's just me?

Jason, Challenge played a clean ending tonight, with just the audience clapping. Any chance you could quieten out the audience on tonights episode?

According to the announcement at the end of Family Fortunes, tonight is the last episode of Blockbusters. Challenge[TV] are known to play the wrong announcement though, so who knows if it is true?

Challenge[TV] have confirmed on Facebook that they will be starting from episode 1 again on Monday and will probably show the rest of the episodes in July.
