He deserves an award. I tried on once but it was no good, and 25 years of therapy have only partially undone the damage.

I think they used to give them to the non-dart player on Bullseye.
You'd think they would at least practice knowing they were going on TV.

Do you remember the ones you get at the fair? They couldn't stick in butter.

Bullseye. The programme where two blokes from the middle of Birmingham would end up winning a speed boat.

I was thinking this very morning coincidently of Bullseye and a ticker:

No, they only got to look at the speedboat they could have won.

I watched an episode the other day on youtube - we can't all have a life or it would be boring - and the prize board was comical - it was like a Betterware back catalogue

Those prizes were only made to look good in relation to what Blankety Blank was offering on the Beeb.
Quite the most pathetic array of pound shop crap you have ever seen in your life.

I'm getting all nostalgic for 3-2-1, the Golden Shot and The Price is Right.

I never understood the Blankety-Blank cheque-book and pen, and never thought about it since until now. It was a joke, wasn't it.

They used to have a show called celebrity squares where nine celebs would all sit in a box and have questions thrown at them by request of the contestants in order to win prizes on their behalf.
I seem to remember the contestants completely shunning the thicko celebs like Frank Bruno, Lorraine Chase etc to pick the brains of the more intelligent ones which made me wonder why they bothered inviting the brain aches onto the show in the first place.
