The Generation Game
Grayson's popularity peaked when he was hired by the BBC to present the Saturday night show "The Generation Game" in 1978, as the replacement for Bruce Forsyth. The show became hugely successful, once attracting an audience of 25 million (due to a strike at ITV) at its peak. Grayson was assisted by his co-star Isla St Clair, whom he frequently referred to as "my lovely Isla".
