You guys know they show Knightmare on Challenge TV, right?

Hells yes!

Dickinson or Wonnacott?

Wonnacott - He was a bit too keen on my wife for my liking - kept chasing her round the antique stalls.

The expert was James Braxton. He was posh but a good laugh.

The other one was Philip Serrel, he was a right miserable bastard.

Yeap we got to keep the ninteen quid - all big money!!!

It was good fun though.

Randy old sod.

Wheel of fortune. Loved that as a kid.

It's not being made anymore, but The Crystal Mae. :D

Is that where they fit a climbing frame to Ruby, and encrust her head with jewels to collect?

It was the only way they could involve me in PE as a child. Teary

:D

I'd go back on Going For Gold. I was on that 15 years ago, when I was a slip of a 20 year old.

For obvious reasons, I don't tell too many people. Though, as I don't know anyone on here, I don't feel as much of a twat by sharing my misfortune with you all.

And, for what it's worth, I bottled it on one of the Daily Finals. Knew the answer that would have won it for me was Edith Piaf and didn't buzz for fear of getting it wrong and looking like a knob (oh, the irony...). Lost to a hideous old fishmonger (or something equally as sad) from Belgium. The bitch...

Actually - stuff that. The shouts for Wheel of Fortune are spot on. But only when Carol Smillie was on it.

That has to burn - beaten by the land of sprouts and Tintin.

Tintin rawks!

But yay to Mick! I love people who've been on quiz shows. Is a very worthy claim to fame in my book. :)

From a money standpoint, it has to be Millionairre, but not the celebrity one, as you have to give the money to people without kidneys and shit.

From a totally surreal point of view, then it would have to be Eggheads, it's like a David Lynch nightmare full of grave dodgers, bearded murderers and a creepy homosexual mandroid.

For the most prestige, then it would have to be Mastermind or University Challenge. But what good is prestige without wonga?

I used to like 15 to 1 best, I'd even sing 'sit your arse down' along with the music that indicated you were out.

I'll choose Jeopardy for $500 please Alex.
Why? Because no matter how rotten I do on the show I can still sound smart at parties by telling everyone that I was once a contestant on that show. It's a freaking badge of smarty pants honor.

Does anyone remember Trick or Treat?

In 1989 it lasted for a whole 12 episodes with Julian Clary and Mike Smith. I went along as the tickets were free and I liked Julian Clary, but whoever decided not to make more than 12 of them made the right decision. All I remember was you had to take something unusual along to swap if you were 'chosen' so I had a World War Two helmet with me. Very odd in hindsight!

Not sure if it counts as a gameshow but I'd choose anything organised by Vic n Bob. :)

Jx

I'd want to go on strike it lucky and try and win a swimming pool. Other than that 3 2 1 so I could punch Ted Rogers in the face the smarmy twat.
