January | 2015 | ADAM'S NOSTALGIC MEMORIES ADAM'S NOSTALGIC MEMORIES Where I remember old things. Menu Game Show Memories – Part 4. Going For Gold (BBC1, 1987-1996) Another game show review, and even though it was only ever shown in daytime, this show became very popular. It was partly because people were coming, and everyone’s trying. This review will mostly be based on the first series. It was the show where people competed to become the quiz champion of Europe. Henry Kelly was the host and revealed to find that champion would take 23 weeks because of the rather compilated knockout system. But we were assured that after 92 episodes and nearly six months we would have our winner who received the star prize of a trip to the Olympics in Seoul, and there were a few other smaller prizes on offer for the runners-up. The contestants came from 14 countries across Europe and in the rather overcrowded preliminary round they were asked “what am I?”-type questions as four were needed to progress to what was oddly called “the first round proper”.

At this point Henry would talk to the contestants about their interests and a lot of viewers found it rather amusing as he tried to start a conversation with some guy from Holland or Austria. They then answered questions on categories, the first three to score six points go into the next round. In the four in a row round, contestants simply had to pick a category and then get four questions right in a row in the time they had. The two highest scorers then went into the final. This round was memorable for the catchphrases such as “the big four zone” and “playing catch-up”. The winner was the first to nine points. Congratulations Hans, you’re into the next round! This carried on for endless weekly finals, semi-finals and so on until they finally got their super champion many months later. This format carried on for many years, until curiously, in the final series the show only featured contestants from the UK so they were all representing their various counties to keep it competitive. I do believe that the early series were shown across Europe though and it gained a following in various countries.

Going For Gold ran for nine years on the BBC, and a few years later, Channel 5 revived the show under the name One To Win (not to be confused with the other One To Win that I reviewed recently that was actually a revival of Bob’s Full House). Then, about a decade later, Channel 5 revived it again, but this time back under the Going For Gold name. However, this time it was an hour long so there was a lot of padding with annoying phone-in competitions and it lasted just one series. I did enjoy watching Going For Gold but it’s not my favourite BBC daytime game show, I’ll writing about that soon, it’s a show that is less famous but I think is a lot better. The Going For Gold format does still linger though, the French version is still very popular to this day. Obscure TV Memories – Part 5. Caught In The Act (BBC1, 1992) In 1990, ITV launched You’ve Been Framed, a show which featured a lot of what were always called “home video howlers”.

BBC1 decided that they wanted to do a show like this, so a couple of years later they launched Caught In The Act which had practically the same idea. It was hosted by Shane Richie in one of his earliest TV presenting roles, fully a decade before he landed his dream part of playing a barrowboy in EastEnders. The format would be that every week Shane would firstly introduce some “camcorder calamities” from around the world, and then he would have a stilted conversation with a reporter in a particular country who would introduce some more clips from where they were. All of these clips were accompanied by daft slide whistle and trumpet noises. Do this four times. Then there would be another segment where Shane introduced three contestants from various parts of the UK who had sent in a video. The studio audience then had to press their buttons to determine which one they thought was the funniest. The winner would get a cash prize, an editing suite, and a place in the final. Do this three times. In the final, the studio audience voted again on what they thought was the funniest clip overall. The winner got the star prize. It varied in each episode, but it was often a holiday or even a double-decker video recorder!

Then at the end Shane told us if we’ve got a funny video that we should dial the number and we could appear in a future episode, but don’t be too hasty because the show wasn’t much of a success and never returned. I remember reading some strange things about this show. Firstly, the foreign presenters weren’t even coming live from the country they were supposed to be in, they were just in a different part of the studio in front of a blue screen showing an image of where they were supposed to be. Also, they were just some random actors not even from where they said they were from so the French correspondent for example might have just been some bloke putting on the accent. I also read that all the shows had been wiped which I find hard to believe for material from that era, but if they have then because I recorded a few episodes I might have the only remaining copy. Finally, I read that Shane is now rather embarrassed about hosting this show and thought it was rubbish. Now that one I can believe. I did enjoy it though.

Although Caught In The Act only lasted for one series, You’ve Been Framed continues to this day nearly 25 years after it launched, showing that there is still a market for shows featuring people falling over. Game Show Memories – Part 3. One To Win (BBC1, 1991-1992) Here’s another look in the game show archive, and today it’s an obscure one. In the 1980s, there was the great show Bob’s Full House. One To Win lasted for only one series on Saturday evenings and has similar rules. One To Win was hosted by Andrew O’Connor, a presenter who I very much enjoyed on TV at the time, and I’m not even being ironic or anything like that. This is an irony free site, honest. The title sequence featured Andrew being ambushed by some numbers, before he then descended some stairs, and each one lit up as he went down them which was very showbiz. After a few jokes it was time to wheel on the three contestants. After they told the usual silly anecdotes, it was time to play the game. They were all given a card with 15 numbers.

In the first round, they had to fill the four corners. If they got a question wrong, they were frozen out of the next one. Whoever was the first to get all four corners would win a prize that was decent for its time. In the second round, the contestants had to fill their middle line, and this time they could choose from categories. Again, there was a prize for whoever did this first. Then there was the final round, where they had to fill the rest of their card. They could also play a wildcard to freeze out a rival contestant until they got an answer right. This round was very fast paced and Andrew would start to shout things like “Ottavio, you only need one to win!” Whoever got there first would get the chance to play for the star prize of a dream holiday. They would be shown a 4×4 grid and asked questions against the clock. Get one right, and they could pick a number. If it was a letter, they moved closer to the prize, if it was a cash value, they won that. If they got all eight letters it would spell a clue to their holiday destination.

If not, they could take the money, how exciting it was to watch someone win £245. There was also a viewers phone-in competition, and it must have been one of the earliest game shows to have one. I’ll be reviewing another game show hosted by Andrew O’Connor soon, after he stopped being a TV presenter he went on to become a successful producer and director. Call Andrew now for kinky chat. This bingo-style format would later be used for the ITV game shows Lucky Numbers and The Biggest Game In Town, and although Bob’s Full House was the best of them, I thought One To Win was still very enjoyable. Game Show Memories – Part 2. Lose A Million (ITV, 1993) Here’s a look at another one-series wonder game show that turned out to be something of a flop but I do remember watching it. Lose A Million had an art-deco cruise ship set design and was hosted by Chris Tarrant. I have enjoyed his shows over the years so I decided to give this one a look, and it turned out to be rather bizarre.

Chris began by describing the show as “live on tape in front of an audience that’s clearly wandered in after chucking out time at the Salvation Army soup kitchen”. Well that’s not a way to get people on your side, Chris. And take your hands out of your pockets too. The idea was that three contestants are given five glitzy prizes equal to a million pounds and they had to get rid of them as quickly as they could by giving silly wrong answers to questions. So losing meant winning, defeat meant triumph, and the more hopeless you were, the more likely you were to win. Chris would then start the game by being vaguely rude to the contestants too and wanting them to play the first round. Let’s linger no longer! Chris would ask them questions against the clock and they had to get them as wrong as possible. Their silly answers were very amusing. Whoever got the most wrong then had the chance to give away one of their five prizes. They had to pick carefully though because although one was very valuable, one was worth nothing. In the second round they had to give correct answers but in the wrong order, which was made more difficult by Chris putting them off, again whoever scored the most could get rid of a prize.

In part two, by now Chris thought the studio audience were “500 social misfits with the dress sense of Timmy Mallett and the conversational skills of Sooty”. That’s harsh. In the final round, contestants were given a question with two options, get it wrong and they could give away a prize, get it right and they’d have a prized passed on to them. Whoever had done the worst and became the biggest loser when time was up went through to the final. There was a question with six answers, five were right, one was wrong. Pick the five right answers and they would win £5,000 which I think was the biggest cash prize available on British TV at the time. Lose A Million was made by Action Time Productions who were making a lot of quirky game shows around this time, but despite the unusual idea and Chris’s charisma, the show disappeared from screens very quickly. The only legacy the show has is its inexplicable appearance in the film Shallow Grave. Although this wasn’t a success, of course, five years later, Chris Tarrant would host another game show with exactly the opposite idea of this one, to answer questions and actually win a million, it did slightly better.

Obscure TV Memories – Part 4. The Jack Docherty Show (Channel 5, 1997-1999) Here is my first review of a show that was on Channel 5, because would you believe they did actually try and make some proper entertainment programmes in their first five or six years on air, so here’s my memories of one. The late night chat show has long been successful in America with the likes of Letterman, but although there have been a few attempts, the format has never done as well in this country. But when Channel 5 launched they decided that they needed one of these shows, so who would be picked as the host of this show? It was the Scottish comedian Jack Docherty, probably best known at the time for being in the terrific Channel 4 sketch show Absolutely, although this may have partly been influenced by the fact that the show was made by Absolutely Productions. His show launched on Channel 5’s first day on air in March 1997, and would be the format of starting with a few jokes and sketches, interviewing some famous guests, and then finishing with a song.

It was recorded at the Whitehall Theatre in London with a studio audience and at first ran for five days a week at around 11pm. There were some decent guests on the show and some funny moments but the format began to tire fairly quickly. It was cut down to four nights a week, then three, and by the end it was only being shown only once a week. The studio band, title sequence and set design was often changed, and Jack was often away, with the show being renamed Not The Jack Docherty Show and the likes of Tim Vine and Melinda Messenger filling in for him and actually getting higher ratings. One week a still fairly unknown Graham Norton filled in for Jack. Then at the 1997 British Comedy Awards Graham and Jack were both nominated in the same category for hosting the show. To his surprise Graham actually won the award. It seems that somebody liked him because not long after Channel 4 gave him his own show So Graham Norton, and he is now on BBC1 and still very popular. It seems strange that Graham got more out of the show than Jack did but he insisted that he isn’t bitter.

Even Jack seemed fed up with the show by the end, but I do actually remember watching the last episode where there was a good moment when he said “please welcome my final guest… me” and then with a split-screen technique Jack spoke to his duplicated self about his favourite moments on the show, there weren’t many. Although the show wasn’t a big success and he didn’t become a star Jack is still around and he has written and starred in some good radio and TV comedies in more recent years, and at least Channel 5 did have a go at doing this style of show even though it’s not remembered much now. Obscure TV Memories – Part 3. The Winjin’ Pom (ITV, 1991) Here’s a show that’s now all but forgotten, but it shouldn’t be because I remember it fondly, so if you don’t remember it it’s time for me to bring it to your attention. The Winjin’ Pom was a strange six-part puppet series that was shown on ITV on Saturday evenings just before Beverly Hills 90210 which was made by the same production team as Spitting Image.

It centred around a magic campervan that came to life and could talk and fly. Here’s the plot and the characters. Five backpacker Australians from Gullagaloona are travelling around the world when one day in England they find an old campervan which helps them in their travels. They were a memorable and odd quintet: Adelaide the wallaby saw as herself as the leader of the group. She was something of a tomboy and would repair Pom when he broke down. She also liked to wear a horrible orange coat all the time. Sydney the ostrich was more glamorous and would always wear a feather boa but was also rather snobbish and frequently scared. Frazer the fruitbat was a big fan of cricket and was rather daft but friendly. Darwin the wombat was very dozy and is always being called a wimp. The real star of them though was glasses-wearing Bruce the spider. He would always make jokes whatever the situation and best of all he had a strange “ayayayay” laugh which me and my sister always thought was really funny and tried to imitate, there’s an unsung TV hero if ever there was one.

The Winjin’ Pom himself was rather stereotypically grumpy, but he always helped to save the day with his magic abilities. His number plate was “POM1E” and it seems that he was voiced by Michael “Arthur” Robbins. There were four other main characters in the show who were the baddies. JG Chicago was an elderly organ playing vulture who was always trying to steal Pom because he knew how valuable he was. He was assisted by Howard the hyena who was rather camp and completely useless. Finally there was Ronnie and Reggie, two crow brothers who lived at the top of Nelson’s Column and tried to help them in their plans to steal Pom, I wonder who they could have been based on. They were voiced by the comedy duo Mark Arden and Stephen Frost of “Carling Black Label” fame. As the weeks went by JG would try to hatch plans to get Pom but they never worked because of Adelaide and co.’s quick thinking and Ronnie and Reggie’s mishaps. As far as I know The Winjin’ Pom was only shown once and made little impact at the time. However there was some merchandise with a book and comic released but that was it.

The show has never been released on DVD, if it was I would buy it in a flash. If you’ve never seen it, you should watch a few episodes on YouTube, you’re in for a treat, there’s really nothing like it on TV today. I really enjoyed this show in 1991 and honestly believe that it’s a great lost TV gem. Game Show Memories – Part 1. Bullseye (ITV, 1981-1995) Here’s the first in a very long series of my favourite game show memories. Some of the shows I’ll be looking back at will be rather obscure, but this one isn’t. However, I am still a big fan of Bullseye, and as the format doesn’t really need much explanation as you must already be familiar with it, this will more be a piece about the history of the show and what it means to me. After darts began to increase in popularity, Bullseye started on ITV in 1981. It was hosted by Jim Bowen who always insists that he wasn’t the first choice to host the show. At the time he was best known for being a comedian but he did become a success hosting the show.

When the first series was repeated on Challenge recently it did come across as something of a shambles and rather different from the show that people would come to know and enjoy. There were some odd rounds that only appeared in that series, different categories on the board including Myths, Jim’s conversations with the contestants were rather stilted and there wasn’t even a scorer so Jim had to practically guess what the players had scored. It was also shown on Monday evenings which didn’t seem right. Thanks goodness they persevered though, because although it took a few series, Bullseye would go on to be a big success. One of the main factors in this seems to be moving the show to Sunday afternoons. Like many people, I used to enjoy the show when it was shown in this timeslot, it seemed just right for it. There were lots of other great things including Jim having some memorable catchphrases (although I’m sure he said once “and the question’s gone so I can’t ask the category”), new features such as a professional darts player throwing for charity, the addition of Tony Green as scorer, and the prizes on offer.

Some of what you could win on Bully’s Prize Board does seem rather laughable now but people did want them and Bullseye gained in popularity. It was always exciting to watch a team gamble for the star prize. However, in 1993 Bullseye was moved to Saturday evenings. Even though it was exactly the same show the timeslot just didn’t seem right, and following the success of BBC1’s Big Break they made Jim and Tony interact more. They also introduced a horrible new title sequence. By 1995 Bullseye came to an end, it seems that people just didn’t want to answer questions for only £30 any more, but there’s no doubt that ITV got the best years out of the show and it is still remembered fondly, with the repeats on Challenge always worth watching. Don’t forget your Bendy Bully and your tankards either. And who knows, they might even have a little drink afterwards. And I wrote this piece without a reference to speedboats. That’s why you can’t beat a bit of Bully. Bye!

Going for Gold - UKGameshows Going for Gold John Suchet (2008-9) Broadcast Reg Grundy Productions for BBC1 and Super Channel, 12 October 1987 to 9 July 1996 (702 episodes in 10 series) Co-produced by BBC North West, 1989-1996 TalkbackThames for Five, 13 October 2008 to 20 March 2009 (105 episodes in 1 series) Synopsis This "Euroquiz" was both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because its production values were at least twice that of any similar show in a BBC daytime quiz slot. A curse because it hung around for far more series than it really deserved, varying the format with precisely no innovations during its long run and preventing any new shows coming to air. Contestants from the various parts of Europe - well, those that spoke English, anyway - flew to Elstree (or, in later series, Manchester) to appear on a show produced by Australian-owned Reg Grundy to be asked questions by Irishman for a holiday in somewhere like Seoul.

Now you may have already spotted the significant home advantage in being asked a question in a familiar studio, in your mother tongue by someone with a not very straightforward accent. To ramp up the likelihood of a home winner, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales were treated as entirely separate countries, as were the various islands around the UK! Despite this, of the show's nine continental series, the home countries could only come up with three winners. Amazing. The final series definitely gave us a home winner though as we closed the borders, and people from the UK competed for their county. The programme followed the now-familiar but then revolutionary repechage-style format where contestants stayed with the show for the whole week. Seven contestants would appear on Monday, and from those four answered elimination questions correctly to go into what Henry Kelly would constantly refer to as "the first round proper". The three rejects that didn't get used today, together with the three that would be knocked-out during Monday's contest, would come back on Tuesday, and so on. An elimination round with contestants from all around Europe. An elimination round with contestants from all around the UK.

In the "proper" round 1, the four qualifying contestants were asked a so-easy-it-hurts General Knowledge starter for one point. The contestant that answered the question correctly would then be told by Henry Kelly "The next category is... Cheese. Select." which was their cue to choose between a 1, 2 or 3 point question. The first three contestants to reach six points would go onto the next round, with the losing contestant going back into the selection pool for the next show. This is where the real action starts. "Four in a Row" was a very straight-forward game where each of three contestants would pick one of four categories and answer as many questions as they could in 40 seconds. The only real sting was that getting one answer wrong meant your score reset to zero. The categories were often slightly bizarre, such as "Sports that use balls", "Italian cities", "Vietnamese cuisine" and "Transport beginning with S". The highest scoring contestants would go through into the final. Will the real conservative party leader step forward please. It must be said, the end game was very clever.

Kelly would read out a long description of a famous person, place or object (always beginning with "What am I?" or "Who am I?") that revealed more and more information as the time went on. However, the number of points available reduced from 4 down to just 1, so the quicker you could buzz in, the more points you got. Host, Henry Kelly The other tactic was that you could play or pass control of the subject. Playing meant that you got the 2 point zone and the (catchphrase) "big 4 point zone", and you could only buzz in when the clock was in these zones, your opponent getting control during the 1 and 3 point zones. The situation was reversed if you passed on a subject. The person that was "playing catch-up" as Kelly put it (or "behind", as any normal person would say) would decide whether to play or pass. Answering a question wrongly meant that one of your "time zones" got passed over to your opponent, thus preventing multiple guesses in the same zone. It was nine points or more for a win. The final in progress Winning a show meant you appeared in the final at the end of the week.

Winning the weekly final meant going through to some semi-finals, which eventually went on to a grand final (at which point Kelly would whip out his dinner jacket). A dinner jacketed Henry Kelly awards the eventual winner of Going for Gold with some tickets to the Olympic Games The series winner would almost always get a holiday to somewhere far away Australia, New Zealand, the USA or - on one occasion - the Olympic Games. A short film ramming the point home would appear in the break between rounds 1 and 2. As there were only five promo films, we got to learn these off by heart pretty quickly. Daphne Fowler , a UK game show veteran, thanks Henry Kelly for her prize The original show perhaps dragged on a bit too long, but the basic format was sufficiently sound for it to be revived with minor modifications as One to Win in 2000, and then again under the original title in 2008, but with the modified One to Win rules still in effect. Champions 1996 Mike Ramsden (Kent) The first five series aired during the winter, split in half by the Christmas break.

The second 1992 and 1993 series went out in the autumn, the last three aired during the summer. The 1996 series featured competitors from the UK only. The Channel 5 series was won by Iwan Thomas. Key moments The contestants would wave, smile or grimace interestingly in the show's opening sequence. There was always one.. Catchphrases "And now on to the first round proper." "You're playing catch-up" "Lady and gentleman, will you please follow me - and (to the viewers) why don't you come too?" "Incorrect - out of the rest of the question!" "The category is (whatever) - select!" "Are you ready and happy to play?" (In the 'Four-In-A-Row' Round): "You have chosen (whatever subject), and on that subject, your time starts....now!" (In the final round): "You have control of the game - time passes to you and continues....now!" Inventor Devised by the Reg Grundy organisation, and now licensed by Freemantle Media.

In particular, it inspired the French show Questions pour un Champion, which launched across the Channel in 1988 and remains a huge success. Apparently, the prime time special is more popular than blockbuster films or international football matches. Theme music Composed by Hans Zimmer (who went on to compose the music to the successful movie Gladiator) and Sandy McClelland. The celebratedly-bad Euro soft rock tune went as follows: Going for gold! The heat is on, the time is right, It's time for you, for you to play your game. 'Cause people are coming, everyone's trying, Trying to be the best that they can, When they're going for... going for... Gold. Opening titles from Series 1 But that's not all! We bet you never knew there was another verse, but there was. As far as we know, it was only heard once, during a clips compilation in the grand final of series 2 (which, incidentally, was the first time anyone knew the theme even had lyrics, as only an instrumental version had been used on the show until then). And here's the lyrics for the long version (note extra bridge section too!). Going for gold!

The heat is on, the time is right, It's time for you, for you to play the game. 'Cause people are coming, everyone's trying, Trying to be the best that they can, To reach for the sky 'cause the stakes are so high, When they're going for, going for gold! Go for it - for gold! Go for it - only the best survive Go for it - for gold! Go for it and you can take the prize Go-ing for... Gold! Making a way in the world, It's hard and easy. Trying to get where we wanna be, That's the toughest thing of all. All we need is a little more getting-it-right, All we need is a little more sa-cr-i-fice,1 Learning more and more, what we're striving for, When we're going for gold. <Instrumental> So the heat is on and the time is right, It's time for you, for you to play the game. 'Cause people are coming, everyone's trying, Trying to be the best that they can, To reach for the sky where the stakes are so high, We're all going for, going for gold! Go for it - for gold!

Go for it - only the best survive, Go for it - for gold! Go for it and you can take the prize, Go for it - for gold! Go for it - only the best survive! 1 This line is particularly unclear, and may be "All we need is a little more stay-in-the-fight". Trivia In 1987, NBC produced a non-broadcast American pilot of the show called Run for The Money, hosted by comedian Bill Rafferty. It didn't pass the pilot stage although interestingly, it was recorded at Elstree Studios! It is said that while the show was based at Elstree, the studio audience on occasions amounted to a grand total of...six.
