Who remembers which celebrity in the maverick male position in the middle of the bottom row who bent Terry's microphone - It was probably Kenny Everett! Even now, you could name any celebrity and put them in the correct place on the Blankety Blank Panel. Go on, try it.

No this was from the second series.

Would have been a cracking show with Mr Kenny Everett on the show , other celebs likely to cause trouble at the time were , Freddie Starr , and Rod Hull and Emu.

This title sequence was from the second series which aired in late 1979 as in series 1 which was earlier that year the title sequence had the programme title appear 6 times in 2 rows of 3 and they rotated as each celebrity was introduced and the set was similar to the set of the US version Match Game with the circles & triangles lighting up each time the contestant matched with a celebrity.
