Product Information

Given the volume of episodes on offer, I think it is justified there aren’t any special features in this set. If you’re just discovering this show (like me), then you have a long journey ahead of you…and it’s a fun one. There are even stars who I never expected to see, including Laugh-In’s Judy Carne, Derek Griffiths, Peter Butterworth, Jimmy Young, Roy Kinnear, Kenny Lynch, and Liz Fraser.

It’s an entertaining game that may be from a simpler time, but the laughs are still as contagious now as it was then. Regardless of whoever the host was, cheating and favouritism by the host towards the women's team abounded.
