Now Mastermind needs a new presenter

I think it was a Carlton London commission to meet the regional hours. It even has the low budget feel about the set.

Edit: Yes, it was produced by Cactus TV for Carlton shown between Jan-April 2001.

I'm sure that show looks familiar even though I don't live in London... has it ever been repeated on Challenge? I know some ITV regional gameshows have in the past.

Yes, it’s been shown on Challenge in the past.

John Suchet on going for gold on channel 5...
Thames newsreader Robin Houston on 100%...
Bill Turnball on Think Tank

...and One to Win.

Fred Dinenage on Gambit... Bob Warman on The Price Is Right... Rob Curling on Turnabout...

Yes. And I think Gambit was an Anglia production.

Fred also did something in the 70s for YTV I think ?

Also a regular stand in for Dickie Davies on WoS

There's a common misconception that's he's only ever worked for Southern/TVS/Meridian

He presented a number of adult education programmes for Tyne Tees in the early 1970s as well.

Sophie Raworth on Judgemental
Kirsty Wark on A Question of Genius
Mishal Hussain and Nina Hossain on HardSpell
Emily Maitlis on Come and Have a Go....

And Fred also presented Pass the buck (before Eamonn Holmes I think)

Blimey, I don't remember that at all, but Wiki seems to confirm

I was about to say he's never worked for the BBC, but clearly he has !
