[Huddersfield1985]

I've been to Marbella before. Its really lovely

Peculiar end game; the stop-start nature of it kills the suspense somewhat.

I was a contestant on this show and had a vhs copy until very recently. Unfortunately,it got broken while moving house.

I have so many happy memories and still have my bingo card...somewhere!

@141JTD Maybe if the BBC can't do you a new copy, the Bob Monkhouse archive curator's might :-) I'm glad to have brought back a bit of it to you

[141JTD]

@wf53wf53wf53 Thank you so much indeed. :-) The theme tune always gives me goosebumps. I was only 18 and had hair that was so wavy I could have doubled for Tom Baker!

It's unfortunate that this is one game show not shown by Challenge.

How might I go about contacting the archive? Any tips welcome.

[wf53wf53wf53]

@141JTDBobs full house by remembered hills is the first part of the documentary about his private archive. I'm sure the collection curators Kalediscope could certainly help you if they have a copy. Certainly more likely than the BBC probably, with their archiving policy..!

@wf53wf53wf53 My other poster, so far, on this video maybe be able to help you trackdown the exact episode details,as he has good records :)

[wf53wf53wf53]

Well, by now we know that Bob Monkhouse probably had this in his collection ;-)

[MrJohnSeager1]

if im correct this is the 1989 series. if im right this is probably the 4th series

[wf53wf53wf53]

@MrJohnSeager1 Thanks :) I'll update the info

[MrJohnSeager1]

@wf53wf53wf53 just had a further check...

Series is series 6 - ran for 22 episodes

transmission date is: 2nd September 1989

[wf53wf53wf53]

@MrJohnSeager1 That's hardcore details! How did you find that out? :)

[wf53wf53wf53]

@MrJohnSeager1 Ouch!! Thats a shame :-( I've heard that the BBC don't keep every gameshow episode, just keeping a sample selection. Whatever off-air tapes we have may well now be the only surviving copies. - Same way Bob Monkhouses archive collection has lost items in it

[MrJohnSeager1]

@wf53wf53wf53 I was a massive fan of the show. so i begged my mum and dad to watch/record it every time. i made note of every show recorded. i hope soon Challenge TV on sky/freeview will show some episodes.

also bit of trivia, series 5 and 6 bob allowed the audience at home to see where the holiday was. series 1-4 this did not happen.

[MrJohnSeager1]

@wf53wf53wf53 i had most of the episodes recorded on Betamax/VHS. i kept records of the dates broadcasts. sadly, i lost the tapes

[wf53wf53wf53]

@ukgoldfan I think I might have - I still have a good few tapes to go through :)
