ITV Gameshows to be revived

According to Sky Text on Freeview, Ant and Dec are to revive some of ITV's most popular gameshows for a week in September. Gameshows to be revived include Wheel of Fortune, The Golden Shot, Blockbusters and Bullseye.

I assume this is part of ITV's 50th birthday celebrations.

God bless you Ant and Dec

Blockbusters and Bullsye! Two of my most favourite programs of all time.

Do we think the popularity of the repeats on Challenge has sparked this?

ITV used to have a lot of excellent gameshows, let's see now Bullseye, Chain Letters, Crosswits, Wheel of Fortune, Family Fortunes, The Price Is Right, Runway, The Pyramid Game, Lucky Ladders, just to name a few.

Can you really see Ant and Dec hosting Bullsye though!?

And how are they going to do it? Will they actually build the proper sets?

And in all honesty, i'm sick of Ant and Dec being on EVERYTHING on ITV at the moment.

They're only on Saturday Night Takeaway at the minute?

This was reported in this week's Broadcast, it said something about ITV buying the rights to Bullseye, Wheel of Fortune, Family Fortunes, Blockbusters and Double Your Money.

Two questions come to mind? One, does this mean the ITV couldn't originally afford to keep shows like Family Fortunes going and then lost the rights and secondly will these shows return for long spells in the future, hopefully NOT hosted by Ant & Dec.

How about Celebrity Squares??

You Bet!

It's a great idea and I really think they will get some big ratings that week. Hopefully some decent '50 years' presentation (idents/trails etc.) will appear. If they're really bothering, they may as well go for it!

If MediaGuardian is to be believed(!) they will recreate the sets authentically and I assume that'll mean the titles too. Be great seeing the opening to Bulleye and Blockbusters again!

I hope they include the regions in idents somewhere. Maybe have ALL the past idents combining and making the logo!
If they do recreate titles,I wonder what titles they'll recreate.

I think it would have been better to show the original programmes and presenters .It would be brilliant to see Bob Monkhouse and Ann Aston on the Golden Shot .
