Vernon Kay's Gameshow Marathon

Tickets can now be applied for on the Granada Studio Audience website.

It says that they will be featuring The Price Is Right, Blockbusters, Blankety Blank, The Golden Shot, Name That Tune, Mr & Mrs, Bullseye, and Play Your Cards Right in this second series.

Im quite disappointed there is no Take Your Pick or Family Fortunes this time around. Hope they show some old idents like last time though.

Great stuff, was it Ant and Dec who presented the first series? As I think I missed that one..

Yes it was.

Odd that they're doing Price is Right again especially as it came back on TV and has its own host with Mr Joe Pasqualae.

And anyway, "there's no show without Joe!"

it was Crap and Cheap

there was No class with that show!

Blankety Blank shouldn't be on ITV it's just wrong!!

But that's what happens when dumb BBC bosses sell the format to Paul O'Grady just so they can get him to sign a contract!!

Err, the BBC never owned the format to sell to ITV in the first place.

Like the majority of the above list, BB was created by the late great Mark Goodson, the US game show master (it was originally "Match Game 7x", and arguably even better than the Wogan/Dawson version of the 1980s over here).

It had a first class production team though

i loved the first series but i think bllind date should come back aswell.

I really enjoyed the first series too.

Yes I wouldnt mind Blind Date coming back on a Saturday, it was a good show until the format was changed which I think was why Cilla quit.

The repeat of so many shows from the first series makes the second pretty pointless - and with Vernon Kaye directly taking the role of Ant and Dec, it'll just seem like the same show with a different host.

Nice to see Blockbusters and Name That Tune in the line-up. I wonder which quiz will make its comeback after this series?
