Would that still count on a bank holiday weekend when lots of people are off work on Monday? In my household Easter Sunday is a bigger night than the Saturday.

And Saturday nights now have a big light entertainment hole in the schedule waiting to be exploited.

Easter Sunday though. People complain when they they stick to their regular Sunday scheduling Rolling Eyes

Apart from when Brucie came back with it in the 90's, and that was Friday 8.00pm.

I do believe it was on a Saturday night that GG went out. I used to watch all of his games shows religiously as a child and teen.

In fact the only gameshows in the 90s that he hosted shown on a Friday night were Play Your Cards Right and Price Is Right on ITV

To be fair the BBC don’t seem too keen considering they cut it back to two episodes.

Off topic but: Does anyone else remember the Channel 4 panel show ‘A Short History of Everything Else’ presented by Griff Rhys Jones about five years ago? I seem to recall reading that the episodes were supposed to be an hour long but were cut down to half hour, or several episodes were edited together, which is why it came across a bit disjointed on screen. I can’t find where I read this - anyone else remember hearing this?

Probably why no longer remembers it.

At least the Jim Davidson version has been immortalised in history by appearing in the third Harry Potter film... sort of.

I thought that was Bruce Forsyth's version on the screen in that film? That film is set in 1993-1994, so that is when Bruce hosted it, not Jim Davidson.
