It’s The Olympics! Wooh!
So obviously that means we have to “do” Going For Gold, the euroquiz which originally offered a trip to the Seoul Olympics as its grand prize. Kelly suggested that it was only meant to be one series, but every year they decided to do another one and ten series later it ended.
Today at Lord’s cricket ground is the ranking round of the archery to determine seedings for the first round proper tomorrow. That’s a little bit like Going For Gold isn’t it! So to celebrate, we thank the several people on Youtube who caught the Going For Gold full Hans Zimmer/Sandy Mclellan theme montage on a Challenge repeat the other night, and it looks like GameShowFunTime had the best quality, so here it is now:
I always found Going For Gold, like Blockbusters, a bit dull when growing up. Ace theme, though.
