[mpw180]

oh, and i always loved the first few seconds of the intro, as well as the intro tune itself

[mpw180]

i only really remember the set that's shown in the clip. still loved the show though

[Kipperfiend]

I would love to see a swede mason mix of this! The amazingly socially awkward Henry Kelly and weirdo random Euro boffins, what is not to love?

[OmegaRFox]

Answer me this led me here

[vymmas]

What an absolutely MAD show. Can some european people tell me if this show was popular in their countries please.

[cupcakefairy87]

A gameshow version of the Eurovision Song Contest.

[rajaboy]

[QYD1000]

[ClaireLikesVideos]

[karatebuff]

All this is a Game show version of the Eurovison Song Contest.

[louthleviathan]

Good ol Henry Kelly!

[Foloman1]

Gibraltar FFS! They where really lax on what qualifies as a country back then!

[Cruncher81]

Ahh, ths makes me chuckle.

[Goldliz]

Actually, her outfit was a copy of one which Princess Diana wore on her honeymoon! And she was very proud of it - I was there...

[18150690]

i love the theme tune

[AllisonGrosser]

Excellent intro! Love the mad waves and thumbs-ups!

[scotlad1988]

No Henry Kelly has not passed away. So Ch5 please get Henry Kelly back where he belongs!!!! And get rid of those stupid phone-in competitons. Going for Gold used to be only 25 minutes, and now its an hour........why?? Beacuse of they phone-in's............Get Rid!!!

[jaseywasey49]

You're rite it was 25 minutes tops, an again get Henry Kelly back!!.

[BloopyQ]

I just loved this when I was younger, I didn't like to miss a single episode!

[jaseywasey49]

I don't care where he is but find Henry Kelly and get him to present this again, unless of course he has passed away and that makes my remark rather insensitive.

[danrob10]

Henry has a daily radio show on BBC Berkshire. He's alive!

[Goldliz]

That mad Republic of Ireland one is ME!! I only found the clip by accident... we had LOADS of fun making that programme. Top of the Pops was recording in the same studio - so got to meet Shakespeare's Sister, and the cast of Eastenders was having their lunch in the canteen. Aaaah, memories....

[scotdrog]

Hey Rep im doing the same this Friday on Ch5 , mon the irish x . How did you do girl ???

[Goldliz]

Reached semi-final. Beaten for last place in final by an English lady called Elaine, and by the way it was in 1992 - not 1991!! Good luck on Friday.

[scotdrog]

Just found out I will be playing somebody from England , Italy and Poland so fingers crossed and thanks for the support.

[mellowNdark]

@Goldliz What are you shaking?? haha

[drgrj91]

@Goldliz Was "Going For Gold" ever actually shown in ROI?

[HammerLex77]

@Goldliz I would have had loads of fun just taking the piss out of Germany and Norway's dress sense!

Disastrous! LOL

[alritemike]

omg i luved this show wen i was a kid!!!

[Nebagram]

I can't believe they're bringing this show back... now I'm going to have to apply. :-)

[identlover]

Only in the UK could we host a quiz where we invite numerous Europeans over to England, ask them questions in English about England ... and still we always lost .. lol

[jonfletcher147]

@identlover pmsl..very true :))
