Remember years ago when Saturday night TV was brilliant?

 

Just watching Ant & Dec and I do like their show but when I was a kid Saturday nights were brilliant.  The whole family would gather in the living room and watch TV and there were so many great programmes on....not just one like these days!

 

Some that I remember are:  

 

Blind Date:  Probably my favourite long-running show.

Gladiators:  We'd choose a contestant and if they won then we'd get a small prize.

You've been framed

CatchPhrase

Strike it Lucky

Family Fortunes

Man Oh Man (I LOVED this one!)

 

 

I must have been quite young when I watched Blind Date because I was convinced that the couples were going to stay together forever after the show

Uber fave in our house was the Val Doonican Show

Not the one with Des O'Connor, Rexi

My dad always wanted to go on the Generation game or as a family go on family fortunes.

I remember my older brother years ago tricking my dad and telling him that he was doing a generation game competition ,he had to name 20 electrical items(quite a lot in the seventies)my dad told him it was easy ,so my brother told him to answer it then .Three or four days later my dad said he had the answer and started to shout out the electrical items, at the end my brother in a Brucie voice said 'Good Game 'Good Game' I thought my dad was going to kill him .
