It says in the listing magazine, that tonight's Wednesday editions of Family Fortunes at 6pm were presented by Bob Monkhouse. I wasn't in at the time so missed it, but is this true?? Similarly, the Saturday edition at 10.50pm is also described as being presented by Bob. So have they acquired some old Family Fortunes as well??

It's great if this is the start of showing some older series of programmes!! Very Happy

It would seem odd for them to play it out-of-order, but that the description has got into their scheduling engine must surely be a good thing?

Challenge are to show series 3,4 & 5 of Bullseye from the 19th March at 8.30pm.


Haven't they had these before ages ago?


Yes but it been 5 yearssince there appeared. 1983 onwards can't wait!!.....


Instead of showing what folk have already probably seen before on Challenge, why not get Series 1 and 2??


There is talk that most of S1 is in the bin par E1, I don't believe that. S1 and S2 are not like S3 onwards with slightly different format.


Sure you aren't referring to the two episodes that were supposedly so bad they had to be scrapped, and cost ATV a fortune because the star prize was won in one of them?

Anyway series 2 is floating about in bits and drabs on Youtube, but I believe the only real difference is the colours used on the board between S1 and S2. The opening portion of the first episode was lifted into a later episode of Bullseye.

According to a 2008 post on ATVLand, some series 1 episodes are in the Perivale archive. Wherever that is.

Win, Lose or Draw Late starts next Saturday at 11:20. I'm not sure why it has to be SO late though.

They have to show something after 10pm - same with Big Break.

The episode of Family Fortunes was one of the later Les Dennis episodes from one of the last if not the last series they have. It was also introduced as "an hour of Family Fortunes" despite being just one episode.

They're also resuming bloody Deal or No Deal. I think it's just one a night though - I don't think it's done as well as they wanted it to.

Plus last night, someone had clearly scheduled the wrong continuity as after the 2 1/2 hour episodes of Big Break - only the closing titles the announcer said 'More big break coming up next, Bullseye is later' - when in fact, Bullseye was to air next.

Also watching the Crystal Maze the other day, the audio description service is getting even more amusing as Auntie Sabrina was described as 'Auntie Sabrina whose dressed as an old tart'. Shocked

Apart from a few TV Forumers.
