Then you should watch last Saturday's Pointless Celebrities.
Catchphrases - a thing of the past? Page 8
The one I remember that fell flat on its face was by the "Slither Man" who kept saying "Slither - you'll all be doing this tomorrow". Er no, you big twat and you weren't funny either. Talk about over inflated ego and then he went and spoilt it all by getting his dick out at some gig.....................................
Think he's dead now.
When I was a nipper I would watch Family Fortunes waiting for Max Bygraves to say "Time for BIG MONEY!"

The contestants, in a 1980s themed edition, were: Carol Decker, Dennis Seaton, Bob Champion, Jo Durie, Samantha Fox, Duncan Norvelle, John Kettley and Lizzie Webb. And the origin of the catchphrase "Chase Me" was explained.
Aaahh.
Do you remember Brian clough whacking a few fans around the head when they invaded the pitch and was later made to publicly apologise to them.
In true cloughy fashion, he kissed them and one ran away and said chase me.

I remember when the major prize on Double Your Money with Hughie Green was £1000 and was considered serious money.
... or around the same time, Michael Miles (quiz inquisitor) offering contestants a couple of pounds on Take Your Pick to forego the chance of winning a prize, which might be worth nothing.
"Alright, my final offer then for your key is £7 10 shillings"
audience....oooooooo

I don't either. I think I was making an entirely different point. Oh well...it's gone cold now.

When I was a kid, I waited for Max to say, "I wanna tell you a stooorrrrryyyyy."

I'd take a thousand pounds now.

Maybe, but then it was a effin' lot of dosh. I clearly remember going to school on the bus around 1958 and we were talking about what we wanted to be when we left school and I said I wanted to be an architect 'cos they earned a £1000 a year - that's £20 a week!!! Cor! My friends said. 
(My dad, a maintenance engineer at Ransomes, Sims and Jefferies was on about £8 a week then.)

He did something with his hands that looked similar to what Tommy Cooper did when he said "just like that" which always made me laugh.

Was like a wringing of his hands, wasn't it.
Did Val Doonican have a catchphrase? I just think...rocking chair.
