Look at it from their point of view, it was a day away from their mundane lives and something to tell the fellas down t'pit. They will each have a nice suit to be buried in now too, which must give them some peace of mind.
How depressing for them... in David's perception of them. Poor sods, they'll be out of jobs soon after buying their suit too.
Why has Challenge started to edit the start of certain programmes now? Just caught the start of Family Fortunes and they've cut out the family introductions, and also skipped the bit where the say that the car is the 'Star Prize'...

What do you think of this prize?

Gwen seems happy enough but maybe she is just being polite.
Did they not choose appropriate "small prizes" beforehand?
She choose that? That makes it even worse.
I would have chosen this. A device that allows you to view mid to late 80s satellite television. Like a sort of time machine. Ruth didn't want it and, here's a joke, I'm not sure my roof would want it either.

It's an awful prize for a show like Bullseye which generally featured large men who probably spend about £10 on clothes per year and were hardly going to buy all the stuff featured
Didn't you watch the clip? It featured a very large gentleman and a very small gentleman. As long as those clothes vouchers are redeemable in High and Mighty and Small and Elegant then they are laughing. It was probably nice for them to meet and shake hands with real life models too. Look at it from their point of view, it was a day away from their mundane lives and something to tell the fellas down t'pit.

The most striking thing about that clip was the continuity announcer actually talking about the programme he is ruining. It makes a nice change from Challenge promoting Quizzical every five minutes.
I think there was at least one other occasion when fashion vouchers were given away on Bullseye too.
At that point I think Flextech still used live announcers?
If you like Bullseye Christmas specials, are awake right now and have access to Challenge+1 then I have good news for you.
There seems to have been a different Christmas episode of Bullseye on every Saturday evening/Sunday morning for the past 3 weeks. I haven't seen this advertised anywhere though.
Contestants are...
- Mike Reid (Frank Butcher, not the DJ)
- Lisa Goddard (from Give us a Clue)
- Steve Wright (the DJ, not the prostitute killer (as far as I know)).
It is very badly edited already.
This episode is on again right now. Just over a month since it was last shown.
In other news, here is a clip of someone appearing to win a dog.

Des O'Connor explains that he only gets the dogs proceeds for a year but it looks like the guy thinks he has actually won the dog, as I did when I first saw this.
What were Sky thinking hiring Shane Richie for Don't Forget The Lyrics? I mean it's a dreadful format as it is but he only serves to make it one hell of a lot worse.
