321 opening sequence ted rogers

[cisco9x]

This show was loved by so many old aged pensioners as you can see from the audience, shame the fuckers are dead now

[vania1013]

have recored every episode and watch every weekend as part of my 80's nights

[8corporal]

I liked this show as a teen.....but actually, just what the fuck was the show all about? Did even the contestants even know?

[Dustybin321]

Even though they only won a brand new dust bin.

[Dustybin321]

Even though they won just a brand new dust bin.

[Jarren202]

Just watched an episode of this on TV, a holiday special!

Not only was Keith Harris & Orville on the show, but also Black Lace! It was almost enough to trigger a panic attack.

I sat in stunned silence as the guests came on. Truly, there have been better decades than the 80's when it comes to fashion.

In fact, there are none worse.

[crazyclive]

@Jarren202 That is fucking fantastic!! *rofl*

[vania1013]

the old yorkshire tv building has been knocked down and is a indian mosque these days

[mikegloady]

@vania1013 Really - It's been moved to a different part of the world and still where the old building was? Gosh.

[pawnsacrifice1]

the clues were impossible

[jr2nd]

used to LOVE watching this lol

[holydiver73]

The ceramic dusty bins that the unsuccesful contestants won as consolation prizes, are now worth more than the Austin Metro car that they gave as a star prize almost every week. Irony or what. Great show, great days. great memories. SHows like this and It's a knockout needs to be brought back.

[eclectica1]

I wander how many of the contestants who took part accidentally dropped their ceramic Dusty Bins...

[pufferfishish]

The clues in this show were the most nonsensical load of tripe ever. They could mean whatever the producers wanted them to mean; depending on whether they were actually willing to give away the star prize of course

[joannalexus1]

the clues never made any sense! still wouldn't i bet, but i did get a lovely soft toy plush Dusty Bin one Christmas!

[JFredUK]

I remember the end theme, where Dusty Bin would do a little, repetative dance all the way through, and I remember me, being the age I was, copying him!! Gawd, I did some embarrassing things as a kid!! LOL

[PereKensal]

I used to watch this in the early 80's as a 8,9,10+ year old every saturday, with a 'goody bag' and a bottle of 'Alpine' pop off the lorry that used to sell it door to door (10p deposit written on the bottle top),at the time it was heaven to sit with my family and watch this, one of ITVs premier shows. As an adult looking back, it was just a procession of merchandise you hadn't won, and the clues were bizarre. I also saw Ted Rogers in pantomime as widow twanky in aladin in Coventry about 1980.

[pufferfishish]

@PereKensal totally. the clues were absolute nonsense. You'd have more luck trying to crack the Enigma code

[johnmik67]

Saturday's 30 years ago with only 4 channels was the best time!

[thefrecklepuny]

Why is he waering a test card?

[getthatbusout]

everyweek without fail, ted would come down those stairs and shake peoples hans and 'deliberately' miss someone out and then double back and shake their hand. EVERY EPISODE!! gotta love ted though one of the gents of the celeb game and an all round nice guy. happy days.

[JoeScaramanga]

That suit is a rare thing of beauty!

[allen1jeremy]

The radio DJ Janice Long appeared on the very first edition of 3-2-1 in 1978, Janice & her husband won a silver tea set on the show.

[999Dempsey]

Super tv memories I too had to go to bed when this finished....I always thought it odd at 27 though!

Was it just me or were the Cryptic Clues SO cryptic that GCHQ boffins couldnt even have fathomed them out!!..They were nonsense!..great times though.

[tonyw951]

What the hell was that programme all about? I watched it recently, and still had no idea what they were talking about, and the top prize was a 3 wheeler which they looked so happy to of won. Crazy times.

[RTWUROTTS]

Yip ,Dusty Bin , 321 with the fingers !

[TheWitchyM]

How many kids in the playground tried the 3-2-1 finger thingy? Tried and always failed.....

[Thetellurianvortex]

@TheWitchyM

There was always some clever bugger that could manage it mind.

[b440ckw]

@TheWitchyM i reckon it went on every playground. i never managed to do it right. when ted used to do it he made it look like he was doing a magic trick. although i found out years later it was quite a simple manouver but i still never managed it. this show was excellent and watched ny millions all those years ago.

[mikefranky]

I remember when this 1st came out and couldnt get over at how awesome the prizes were...Bloody hell times have changed!!

I liked teds suite i bought one just like it on ebay......

[jazzx251]

This must have been Yorkshire TV's big Saturday night show, just look what they do to the logo at the start!

[eliminateuk]

i liked the bit when he did the lightning 3 finger shuffle,dead cool...3,2,1!!

[masere]

Forgot to mention we got a 321 badge which I had for years ti I lost it. Might've been worth sommat now!

[masere]

When I was on a YTS in the 80's we went to see a recording of this show at the YTV studios in Leeds. Sinitta was on and she started to sing, stumbled and nearly fell but continued till "CUT!" was shouted out. Me and my mates couldn't stop laughing.

[strange6]

This was one very corny quiz show. Though very entertaining

[christian2006morris]

It's an absolute fucking miracle that anyone watched this show - the most boring waste of an HOUR of primetime television! Jeeesuss!

Still, thanks for posting the clip.

The irritating Irish comedian is Frank Kelly, Father Jack in 'Father Ted'. Quite a good talent, actually, just not in this shit.

[mirabelle1]

3-2-1 was created by Spanish film director Narciso Ibanez Serrador - he directed the horror film Would You Kill A Child? back in the mid 70's - one of his latest movies was recently on BBC4

[InternationalNobody]

"It's fortune and fame"? Ah yeas, the number of contestants of 321 who have now made it big....

[prison90]

InternationalNobody! Now hang on! Just hang on! I know a guy that was on this whom has become quite famous in a small corner of South East Norfolk for having one of the quickest delivery services for mixed poultry grit there is!

[ianbillericay]

Check out Ted's jacket :-D

[TheDevilsGuard]

Stop the trash talk ;)

[TheDevilsGuard]

Bad memories, it meant bedtime for me when it finished when i was a kid :)

[JekyllBoote]

Good memories; this was light entertainment before the Cultural Marxists assumed control of the mass media.

[TheDevilsGuard]

woahhhhh steady on, you have just gone way over dusty bins lid :)

[JekyllBoote]

Not at all. It was Dusty who put me onto the Cultural Marxist infiltration of the mass media in the first place. (We were having a confidential chat at Ted Rogers' funeral.)

[AspieWorld]

This brings back memories.

[TheCobraUK]

I could never stand the way ted rogers hair turned different shades everyweek through the dye

[punditpete]

Great days !

[playinginthesandbox]

i used to drop acid and watch this.

[Lavendergaljackie2]

I loved this show on a Saturday night!. Looking back on the repeats now the prizes look Naff lol.

[vinylmasakist]

I watched this with my son and he also commented on how crap the prizes were....Guess we was easier pleased back then lol!

[marksoutof10]

I remember a time when I actually ENJOYED watching this. That was back in the day when Saturday nights were worth staying in for, which was just as well, as around the time this was on the telly I'd have been about ten years too young to go to the pub instead....

[bally28]

321 used to own saturdays evenings..

[TreijaMusic]

Wow .. thats sum opening sequence !

[ilovevodkame]

is this in hd?

[keeplowmovefast44]

We used to watch it religiously at the weekend. As a kid I didn't really get it. I don't think anyone did though, not even Ted Rogers.

[bally28]

i liked Bullseye quite a lot too.

[DingKong]

I used to love this as a kid. Mind you, the 'clues' the contestants were given were total bollox. Still, you've got to laugh

[Stullywicked]

i love this vid it is so cool

[birdapegang]

thats such a really nice check sports jacket, ted.

[ah1701]

hihihi - come one own up! How many of you tried to imitate the three fingered 3-2-1 thing at school ? Still don't know how he did it...

I think I secretely enjoyed it when the contestants couldn't work out the clue and ended with Dusty bin instead of the Mini Metro! ;-)

[CrownPrinceOfHell]

I could do the 3-2-1 finger thing, but the clues rarely made any sense.

[ryolite38]

Could you give me a step by step guide via youtube on how to do the legendary 321 finger thing?

[tonymontana1974]

Thatl be every contestant then those clues were like the da vinchi code to crack.

[TheEqualizer1972]

Thx for posting this.

[iansithlord]

god i bet he was good with his hands!

[FabFM]

the show is still great now (some ep's are posted ion you tube), much better than a lot of current game and reality shows! Ted Rogers truly was THE KING OF ENTERTAINMENT!

[ramlad]

loved this too - makes me feel old also, the ytv logo goin into the titles lol - i got a small toy dusty bin that you cud change the its eyes and nose mouth etc..loved it. Was classsic wen Ted did his 3-2-1 thing..found out he was a avid support of the conservative party at the time, o dear, ted!!!

[stacksovids12]

Better than the spend, lend, borrow, dumb down, british citizen traitor party, i.e Labour.

[ramlad]

yawn yawn yawn

[stacksovids12]

so you have heard it said many times? are you getting the message then ramlad-ski?

[feltum]

They're currently re-running the series on ftn, at 6, on Saturdays.

[mrslmathers]

I remember this show - superb!! Brought back such memories of Saturday nights in front of the telly eating kippers with Mum & Dad!!!

[mercdriver]

A bit disapointing that Ted Rogers didn't do the 3-2-1 thing with his fingers.

[FabFM]

The #1 rated show of it's day for almost ten years

[stevenalan]

yes the unsolveable clues, its got 4 wheels, you go on holiday with it, it comes in many colours and its very sleek stylish and fast.. contestant thinks ive won the car..WRONG you have one the multi coloured suitcase.. use to love this show

[pestcontrolltd]

I remember this programme for It's unsolvable clues! Just guess and hope it's not the bin! The sketches and performers were legendary for being the most unfunniest crap ever televised! That Irish "Comedian" was unbearably annoying and talentless! Despite all the negatives it was still very watchable and unmissable in parts and am I alone in thinking that we all wanted the "Winning" couple to end up with Dusty Bin! Great nostalgia!

[Dustybin321]

I love it. Please could you upload the other titles to 3-2-1?
