nboldock 25th Aug 2015		Sadly not. There were two VHS copies - one which my mother accidentally taped over (no comment), and one a former friend had that is no longer obtainable. I suppose my two opponents may also have footage but I wouldn't know. I do have a couple of photos from the filming (taken by the TV people)... but I'll keep those under my hat!



TopPopper 8th Aug 2015		nboldock - do you have a Youtube link, so we can see you being robbed of that second match?



nboldock 16th Jun 2015		Indeed it wasn't, though I do like Nick Hewer. Having said that, I rarely watch it these days. Still a classic though.



harley 16th Jun 2015		Was not the same without Richard Whiteley.



biffbampow 23rd May 2015		Well... my grandparents absolutely LOVED this show. They'd both sit there with a pen and a pad and play the game at home... often doing better than the contestants did! I never liked him, but for me there was only one host for this show and that was Whiteley and when he died, I was genuinely upset which surprised me but says something about him I suppose! The way they got rid of Carol Vorderman was disgraceful and Jeff Stelling is for me one of the slimiest TV presenters I've ever seen. My grandparents did also attend the taping of some shows, one featuring this gormless young lad they knew who got absolutely slaughtered. I couldn't believe it when that lad - name with-held cos I can be a nice guy! - bragged about winning a spot on the show because to put it politely, he was as thick as two ice lolly sticks!



Magic Marmalade 23rd May 2015		Can't beat a bit of countdown!



nboldock 23rd May 2015		I was on this, many many many moons ago... won 1, then lost the second match (which I should have won).
