Help me remember the name of this TV show please - 80's

It was one of those Friday night late shows. Can't remember who hosted but can see his face in my head. Will know if someone says.

Had daft games on it, normally a bit juvenile and very generally quite shit.

This is completely vague but am hoping some suggestions may help.

No, but I do remember that. It was a uk show. The male presenter was one of those Rylan types. Not really good at anything but managed to wangle a tv show.

The Word!! Yes, that may be it. I shall youtube and come back and let you know.

I am trying to find a specific clip to send to someone. If I find it I will post it.

It's truly hideous.

Was it The Hopefuls bit?

PuppyMonkey · 02/05/2017 20:15

What did he look like, dark, blond, bald, old - the presenter?

Was it The Hit Man and Her? Grin

PuppyMonkey · 02/05/2017 20:16

Cross post - The Word was 90s.

Karanka · 02/05/2017 20:18

James Whale?

splendide · 02/05/2017 20:18

The Word was nineties.

Is it the pubes on a cracker?

BillSykesDog · 02/05/2017 20:20

What's the specific bit you're looking for?

Hmm. Ok I saw a clip of a show on one of those compilation shows. I'm pretty sure it was The Word - Terry Christian is unforgettable in his hideousness.

So, yes the 90's but I'm sure the show I saw it on was the 80's compilation show.

Anyway, on the show they had a clip of this 'game' where they had a trio of girls who looked about 16 dancing in front of three judges. They then had to go and change into their school uniform in the back of a ford fiesta or something. Really tasteful stuff. Anyhoo one of the 'judges' was Piers Morgan.

It's THAT clip I need.

Hit man and her was another awful show. Lots of shouty stuff. And Michaela whatsherface always looked pissed :o

Hmmm doesn't ring a bell and I did watch the Word. Maybe it's a suffering show?

Definitely not Chris Evans, Jonathan Woss or James Whale.

Presenter was male, probably about 19 and irritating. If it was now he'd probably be in 1 Direction.
