Blockbusters Returns to TV.....

[trt]

What did you think, I was disappointed much preferred the school kids version of years ago, but they always say, never go back!

[MarkRae]

The thing that surprised me most is just how ridiculously easy it is, symptomatic of the on-going dumbing down of Britain. Simon Mayo could hardly have been a worse choice as host.

[trt]

I agree Mark, I thought Mayo didn't look right, he should stick to radio!

[cupid04]

I'd rather watch The Bob Holness repeats!

I used to love Blockbusters after school.

I'd like to give it a go but Simon Mayo gives me the creeps.

[Philtaz]

Didn't see it, but if it's on at the same time as when I was a lad it can only be a good thing in helping to provide a little further education to children.

List of programmes I think I've never actually seen.

1. Blockbusters

[MarkRae]

It's on at 8pm weekdays on Challenge, IIRC...

[joggerjayne]

Thanks, MR

I haven't 'not seen it' because I don't know how to find it, LOL

[chrissa1]

I haven't seen it yet but used to love it with Bob Holness. I bet they've changed the Intro Music and they don't need to, the original was great. I can still do the hand jive to it.

Are there no school kids?

I taught my daughter how to write her letters watching Blockbusters together.
Then we she started play school she was admonished for writing in block
capitals, LOL!

Same music (re-recording), same fiver per correct answer, maximum of five gold runs.

[chrissa1]

Just watched it and it was dire. How can they give grown up contestants £5 per correct question? Never mind the fact that it was first screened in the 80's when £5 to a teenager was a lot of money, the prize per question should have been at least £50 by today's standards.

Same tune but they couldn't resist tweaking it to its detriment.

Like Simon Mayo but not on the telly. There were too many longish gaps between the Gold Run questions.

[boxtops]

when's it on?

[chrissa1]

On Challenge every night at 8.00pm.

[MarkRae]

^^ :-)

[boxtops]

LOL, I can't get that station, perhaps it's just as well

[Georgiesmum]

I used to really love the original Blockbusters, but this was dire.
