Old quiz/game shows from 80s and 90s

Last night I dreamed I was watching Busman's Holiday although I haven't watched it for years! But when I woke up I had the Krypton Factor on my mind. I enjoyed both of these as a child.

I don't like these kinds of shows anymore but it git me thinking about how many I watched as a kid:

Strike it Lucky
Family Fortunes with Les Dennis
The Price is Right with Leslie Crowther
Gladiators
Blockbusters with Bob Holness
The one with a dart game but can't remember the name? The players could win a Bully?
Catchphrase
The Weakest Link

I just don't like modern shows. I watched some of Who Wants to be a Millionaire and another I can't remember.

Which ones did/do you watch?

Him and Fred the weatherman were the most shocking ones for me. Didn't see either of them as paedos.

Never mind the buzzcocks

This was rebooted a few years back and is on Sky Mix. It's not as bad as I thought it would be

I was on blockbusters 😆 I may even have said “I’ll have a P please bob” (Tbf was a loooong time ago!)

we are the champions “away you go” and everyone jumping in the pool

I didn’t like We are the Champions because you could see the presenter’s vest through his shirt.

Who's baby with Leslie Crowther - would never work now

I loved Challenge Anneka. Although environmentally, it wouldn’t work too well today. She’d have to ditch the helicopter for a bus!
