Challenge TV - September 2011 onwards

Indeed, although I would like to see them get the All Star version with Les Dennis before he left.

I honestly cannot remember Les dennis doing an All Star version. Unless you are talking about Christmas specials! Only All-star version I know of is what Vernon "Bolton Wanderers" Kay does, although I would like to see new series of just normal contestants!

Well it happened, it's been touched upon on here in the last few month and it's mentioned on the Wikipedia page.

I think the way to go is keep it as "All Star Family Fortunes" but celebrities come on with a team of normal people. It keeps the celebrity factor which is a large pull and it mean they can recycle the same celebs and 'real' auditioned families might be more interesting.

Why have they gone for the Max Bygraves ones? I thought it was supposed to be not great?

I'm certainly more interested in the Bob Monkhouse era.

Also - since Challenge is able to pick up Interceptor (which only has 8 episodes) would it be much of a stretch to get a few more oddballs along the same lines? The People Versus (first series)?

Just checked the Wiki page but no mention of Les Dennis doing an All-star version. Ant and Dec did the Gameshow Marathon, but when it came back as All-star its been Vernon Kay all the way.

I'm sure it was on the Wiki article somewhere the last time I looked, but couldn't see it mentioned then.

Anyway here it is.

Thanks for that Jon.

To be fair I still cannot remember it at all. I must have by-passed it completely.

I didn't remember it till it was mentioned by Gaz, only then was the memory vague.

It was actually quite good back in the day, none of this new gubbings with Vernon 'Smarmy Pants' Kay that just makes you want to vomit everywhere.

A booby prize just now on Take Your Pick is a video of the test card!

Max Bygraves' episodes were great, just in a different way. Although it had little to do with Bygraves himself, he was in charge for the two greatest moments in the shows history, the turkey incident and the 'Name a Famous Irish man' question. Both those happened in the same episode too.



We can only hope that these will be shown too.

Alan Evans just threw a 401 in the charity throw on Bullseye. This goes against the commonly held view that the highest ever score was 380!
