It’s BANK HOLIDAY FUNDAY!
Last night there was a drama that had the nation on tenterhooks, Tenable All-Stars. And what set the internet alight is that there’s now singing in the show’s main sting.
So your BANK HOLIDAY FUNDAY challenge is to put lyrics to your fave gameshow theme. The main rule is that you’re not allowed to just repeat the show’s title over and over like you probably would with Blind Date. No prizes, although perhaps there’s a Eurovision style show in the making. Have fun!
A quick put together for ‘Play Your Cards Right’
Flip the card, and see just what you get
Freeze the game – stay the same
Will you win – you need to be correct
Your don’t get anything for a pair not in this game
Is it high or will it be low
When you play..
PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT!
Pointless: The Musical
POINTLESS! POINTLESS!
How much do you know (about things others wouldn’t)?
How much do you know (about things others couldn’t)?
Obscure answers are the best ones,
Be correct or you’ll look dumb,
How much do you know,
Pointless answers ARE THE BEST!
The ‘how much do you know?’ would be vocodered, obv.
I wonder what Richard Osman thinks of this.
It’s… time… put out your mascot and
Answer a question, get it right
Answer a question, choose what hex to li-ight
Answer a question, if you’re blue or white….
Answer a question, colour the space
Answer a quesiton, join in the race
Link them and you’re done to
Go for the gold run so
Answer the questions, on the hot spot, then go… home… and you can do the hand jive!

(I would have tweeted it but it was too long)
Do you know the meaning of the words
Can you guess the meaning of the words
Can you try to work out which ones are true, false, or just plain daft?
Presenting to you Forcefield: Theme From The Crystal Maze
Dare you enter The Maze
Skill, mental, mystery (*) and physical,
Go in a room and solve a puzzle,
Don’t outstay your time!
Dare you enter The Maze?
Four adventure timezones are waiting!
Go round the zones then onto the Dome,
Try to get the crystal,
Do not fall in the pool,
How will you doooo?
In the Dome you’ll grab gold tokens,
Silvers will leave you heartbroken,
The Crystal Maaaze,
It’s The Crystal Maaaze
It’s The Crystal Maaaze
CRYSTALS.
(*) Two syllables.
This maze contains CRYSTALS.
and. your. aim. is. to. obtain them all.
You will play games, and try to win them,
But. It’s. Not. Easy!
The maze will test YOUR MIND.
and. your. bo. dy. and dexterity.
And at the end, you’ll enter the dome,
START THE FANS
Each crystal gives, you time,
FIVE SECONDS
Collect the gold, tokens,
NOT SILVER
Stop when the whi-stle blows
Then we’ll see if you’ve a hundred
points or more, and if not fifty,
otherwise you’ll, win nothing at all,
and go home, empty handed.
Frasier and company think Antiques Roadshow counts, so:
We hope you have some good antiques
The valuations make you freak
(This one’s worth eighty quid!)
(Insure that for ninety grand!)
Don’t DROOOOP that bastard antique!
Don’t DROOOOP that bastard antique!
You would regret it for weeks!
…would regret it for weeks!
…would regret it for weeks!
CHECK IT OUT NOW IT’S THE ANTIQUES ROADSHOW,
LOOKIN’ AT OLD STUFF SEE IF IT’S WORTH DOUGH
Not related to the topic but 15-1 returns next Monday @ 3 pm. Just been confirmed by Ch4.
Thanks.
Give me a consonant
Give me a vowel please and
Give me a consonant
I’ll have a vowel now
Give me a consonant
Give me a vowel then and
Give me a consonant
And one more vowel please
Just one more consonant
and that makes nine now so
…I’ll mix them up and search
for a long word that I can make!
If we’re still doing the “weird thing found on YouTube” game, take a look at this incredibly odd Wheel of Fortune pilot from 1973. I knew it existed, I’m surprised to see it on the internet https://youtu.be/GKRebb0xuhQ
If I don’t know it was what became Wheel, I would call it a bizarre rip-off. But knowing what it is, it’s a miracle it got any further based on this mess. They made at least one more pilot, also on YouTube that’s much closer to what we’re now familiar with.
Blimey.
You do wonder sometimes how some of the more horrible formats we’ve seen in recent years would fare given another 46 years to ‘find themselves’.
Next Schlag den Star – 15th June
Also, Schlag den Besten is being taped in the next few weeks. 24th/25th May and 7th/8th June are the record dates. Tipped for a summer launch.
Ta!
Well as we all know, Jon Richardson gave the Countdown theme lyrics when he made it our new national anthem… https://youtu.be/qrrBYnMMkZY?t=178
In our household, we like to sing along to the Only Connect theme, but exclusively the outro, with the lyrics “She’s mad” to the big two notes, usually after a particularly weird end of the show mentioning Michael Portillo.
Big Brother Canada’s most recent POV comp, ‘Veto Hunter’, was themed like a giant retro video game, and looked incredible. BBCan has some amazing task design, visually and mechanically.
