Give Us A Clue 1989 - Opening Sequence

[KhanOmizu]

0.00 to 1.31 just total facepalm

[cupcakefairy87]

I thought I imagined this show as a kid. Now I know it was real. It's so corny and cheesy the way they sing the names of the presenter, the team captains and the contestants in the intro...but I love it!! 10/10

[cheekymonkeybanana]

Eve WHO?!?!?!? lol

[dylandior123]

Oh my! The themetune brings back memories for me. Always joined in at home hehe :-p

[RNC200711]

That isn't Chris Tarrant at 0:08 is it?

[RNC200711]

OH MY GOD I loved this as a kid

What a cheesy intro lol didn't Lionel Blair look like he didn't want to be there during his intro

duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh....GIVE US A CLUE!

[gingetiv]

LMAO - Used to love this as a kid! ClasSICK!!!

[SqueekyStallion1]

Shit - I was getting into that.

Now I'll never know how he did 'opportunity' ::(

[joannalexus1]

Lionel Blair??? what is that all about!!

[thesunreport]

Alan Titchmarsh as host, David Guest and Jo Brand as captains!

[NedsMissingTeeth]

Lionel Fucking Blair. I rest my case...

[NedsMissingTeeth]

So many cunts on one programme. Happy Days.

[brandybuck1984]

Oh! The jumpers! Oh! The humanity!

[brandybuck1984]

Charades on the small screen! Legendary!

[mattlifeit]

Leslie Crowther - CLASSIC PARTRIDGE!!!

[MrMogwali1]

What awful jumpers people wore in the late 1980s, I used to have some real stinkers lol

[fdama]

Gosh TV was so hideously white in those days. Where's the colour?

[MysterE303]

can i have an e please bob??!!

[pufferfishish]

that singer's on speed

[redbette]

liza goddards hair is like a dead poodle i love it - who the fuck is eve ferret lol i loved marti caine rip.

[haroof86]

do u know where i can find these series??

[dialchemy]

I sat behind Lionel Blair once on a plane to London the flight was 45mins long but not long enough for Lionel to complete "The Sun" crossword.

[A5HL3YH4LL0W51]

Bring back this show ,and get Des Lyham as host

with Ulrika Johnson and Jack Dee as the Captains.

[ninaian]

The quiz for the viewer here is to spot how many celebs are still alive!!! Lol

[GrandDizzy]

Wow. This brings back some weird memories!

Can't believe how old fashioned it all seems now!

[MeMeMeMeMeMeMeMeAndU]

On Lionel's team - Leslie Crowther, Dead. Bob Holness - has suffered a major stroke.

Tim Rice - i'd be careful if i were you.

[iainhammer]

I was always amazed how dimwit the contestants were about the more interesting & lively aspects of popular culture; have not been able to forget how hopeless they were with 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' - it turned out none of them had ever heard of it.

[amribex]

Ah the memories come flooding back. I remember Lionel trying desperatly hard not to mouth "12 Angry Men"....happy days

[Jexington80]

I used to LOVE this when I was a kid and only just got reintroduced to it now!!!! OMG!!! PMSL @ 0:05 - Lionel miming how big the cock was he took last night.

0:14 Bob going for a walk. 0:20 Bernie Winters miming him in a strip club. 0:25 Bella 'the ledge' Emburg & ROFL @ 1:16 Tim's Jumper!!!!!!!! And remember kids, we're asking you, give us a clue!!!

[TeddyPud]

Who the hell is Eve Ferret - I nearly wet myself!!!!!!

[Jexington80]

Think he meant to say Eve and the ferret as it looks like there's a ferret's tail hanging down on the right shoulder!

[listeningtofire]

Yknow I've always said that there aren't nearly enough celebrity panel games incorporate the celebrities' names into the theme tune...

[baker000202]

That music just doesn't want to end does it?!

[antster1983]

"The show's virtuoso was, without doubt, Lionel Blair, but even he had his off days. His team mates recall their apprehension during one close-run contest when, in the dying minutes, Lionel was given Free Willy by Michael Aspel. Of course, he blew it..."

[getzippy]

Lol, that is a lengthy sequence - prob the longest I've ever seen. (not often I get to say that)

And prob the only time I've seen Megastar "Mary Parkinson" ...she has got a Wiki page to be fair!

Zip

[scruffjones]

christ by the time the titles finished you would have graduated gone to work had kids retired and then died ! lol way to lomg but soooo funny!

[kabogga]

What ever happened to Eve Ferret? She was so big and juicy an' curvy. And her bubbly personality really was made for television! She should be on more often. ;-)

[WolvoExPunk]

I remember her in Bottle Boys with Robin Askwith. She was in the film Absolute beginners. Before that she was in a cabaret act, Biddy & Eve, where she would appear scantily clad and sit on guys laps in the audience.

[kabogga]

Wow! I wish I'd have been in the audience when she did that!

Mind you, I'd probably go blind. Lol!

Just love Eve! ;-)

[MusicJunkie777]

Could this be the longest title sequence of a quiz show ever!?

[BaboonLoveMonkey]

@MusicJunkie777 I hate how intro sequences to TV shows keep getting shorter and credit rolls impossibly fast to read. What is with this trend? :-\

[MusicJunkie777]

@BaboonLoveMonkey I know right!?

I mean this one was kinda stretched at 1m30sec! But still.....

Can't even read who's in a show when the credits roll nowadays!

[BaboonLoveMonkey]

@MusicJunkie777 I especially dislike the Doctor Who credits now - WTF is the point of credits so fast you need stop frame playback to read? Of course the reason it's done is so they can fit in another ad, not more show - oh no.

And then there's the highly annoying tendency to have voiceovers advertising the next show as credits roll, and squeezing the credit roll so ads can show on screen for what's up next. Ugg.

And don't even get me started on TV networks placing their logo in the corner...

[theeddielang]

No conversation! Just demonstration. Is what you do. Give us a clue. Be acrobatic. Or just dramatic. Whichever's you. Give us a clue. If you're specific, you'll be terrific. We're watching you! Give us a clue. Give us a clue! Give us a clue....with Michael Parkinson, Liza Goddard and Lionel Blair......

[Markjuk]

When did this end? I can remember when the title used to be the old Grange Hill Chicken Man theme and the host was Michael Aspel!

[hurricaneUK]

Is this a ironic camp 80s classic or total TV hell?

[cafecremelad]

Both. You have to love the camp catchy tune. This is the sort of TV that needs to be made again

[palmercomm]

Holy cow! 2 of the great Brit game show hosts (from TPIR and Blockbusters) with that lyricist from "The Lion King"!

[palmercomm]

It's a game for the uninhibited!

[Comedian80]

Sir Leslie of Crowther was the man...Classic opening title sequence greeting for him there.

[telharsic]

i bet thats vodka leslie crowthers drinking... you'd have to be drunk to play that game

[PhobiaGuy]

the world is a better place with liza goddard in it!!I've met her and she is absolutely lovely, clone her and put her on the national health.

check out the 'take three girls' video. how cute can one girl be!!

[maxi937]

This was brilliant! They should bring it back. Good laugh

[fraserkatie]

Why do they have to sing who the team captains are on that silly opening theme? Silly theme!

[gazster24]

liza goddard does it for me every time bring it back

[kabogga]

Punch Lionel Blair? He might just put on his tap shoes and come lookin' for you to kick your brains out for saying that. Who knows, he might even bring in the heavy mob: The Beverly Sisters! Lol! Mind you, I really fancied Liza Goddard! What posh totty! :-0

[iTalented]

I so want to punch Lionel Blair but the funky music is restraining me from doing so!

[LaughAtChristians]

How much bad knitwear cn one show take?

[keithbyrne]

lionel blair is like a poor mans bruce forsyth. I remember watching this if i was ill of school, i think it used to be on before pebble mill. great days.

[Nabend1401]

Lionel Blair really was the grand master of this game. Who can ever forget opposing team captain Una Stubbs sitting open mouthed as he tried to pull off Twelve Angry Men in under two minutes!

[clavdig]

'Pull off 12 angry men in under two minutes'

GO LIONEL!

[prontford]

Yes, but, who will ever forget him, exhausted and on his knees, finishing off An Officer And A Gentleman in under two minutes?

[clavdig]

I sat watching that going "Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, might as well be dead, dead, Bill Oddie, Big Hairy Cornflake"

[dunkiep]

yeah, me too. A bit sad aren't we? I counted 7 corpses there.

[jamiecg74]

lol

[clavdig]

I wish I had hair like Lionel, it would save a fortune on cloths for cleaning the car

[Nebagram]

Lionel's team is full of absolute icons. :-D

[DJgaZman]

It sounds like it was made by the same people who did Chain Letters as the singers sound the same?

[xxtimbo]

I dont get it,

wots the point in putting these opening

titles up on you tube ?

wot purpose does it serve ?

[RoweTubeChannel]

I think the reason is, it's so shite it's funny!

[optimus57]

Its because your a twat.

[jmspllkn]

@xxtimbo To confuse you

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Yeah, I just read on it, its actually a song called "Chicken Man", Grange Hill used the original version of the sing, while GUAC used an arranged version.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I just read on Wikipedia that the original opening titles for the show (when michael aspel presented it) it was the same theme music as Grange Hill, anyone know if thats true?

[vrz07]

yes very similar to grange hill

[ScrewAttackEurope]

can you remember the original then?

[nightfire620]

I`m still waiting.... who the FUCK is Eve Ferrett along with the celebrity death pool

[ScrewAttackEurope]

LMAO, I don't know who the first woman is either, but Eve Ferret is an actress, though she's been in fuck all since 1997.

[mrslmathers]

By the 'first woman' do you mean the one after Liza Goddard? That's Mary, Parky's missus!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I did mean the ginger one who looks like she head-butted a poodle.

Is Mrs Parky famous for anything at all?

[hurricaneUK]

Being married to Michael Parkinson?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Pretty wasted life if that's all you can claim for your fame.

[VirgLondon]

There's some proper 80s hairdos on show in the womens team, I bet they had to draft in extra cans of hairspray, haven't got a clue who that last one was

[MisterShazam]

What's Crowther on there? Neat gin.

[putthetellyon]

Bob Holness there, arrived straight from a golf match.

[jamiebrighton1981]

OMG Liza Goddard's jumper. Pure man made fabric.

[RedHeadVicky]

I wish all celeb game shows would introduce the panel as part of the opening song!

[fraserkatie]

Cheesiest theme tune ever!

[KMKYWAP1]

Leslie Crowther - Legend! Bit of a dodgy shot of him with the glass in his hand though!

[igetwet]

I used 2 wag school to watch this every morning at 9.25am!

Liza's eyes were always popping out of her head. Who the fuck's "Eve Ferrett", I recognise her from some sitcom but on wikipedia, all I can get is "Eve the killer ferret!" LOL

[DolceVita]

i cant believe how cheesy this opening title is! lol..

but hang on, i thought the title music was the same as the old Grange hill theme tune?

[realwales]

In the early days, under Michael Aspel, the theme was the same as Grange Hill, but changed to this when Parky took over.

[allenjeremy]

There was actually another that appeared before this one and was used for the final couple of series that Michael Aspel hosted and for the first few years of Michael Parkinson's run as host.

[SrWilson]

HAHA CLASSIC GET IN!!

[neil73]

Who can forget the moment, when Lionel Blair worked himself into a frazzle, colapsing on the chairmans desk, after receiving the dirty dozen, he was still able to cope with the sting afterwards! - Humph Lyttleton

[SteffersG]

This brings back memories of me sitting at my nans and watching this with the family. I never got the clues, ha...and very rarely paid attention, but loved the opening song! Thanks for adding!

[FabFM]

Same for me! Classic '80s TV theme!

[tbrewer134]

How refreshing

[nintendoluigi2]

this vidio is quite strange but the more experionced people like it not me but good try do something else like mario or somit

[KaYfabe79]

Best TV Theme tune ever!!!

[nightfire620]

Who the FUCK is Eve Ferret?

[panasonicyouth1985]

LMFAO!!!

[helkel11]

liza goddard's jumper - niiiiiiiiice

[sosolidjordan]

what year was this on challenge

[Hypersonik]

Lionel Blair looks like a retired Ninja warrior. I wouldn't mess with him, take your head clean off with the merest frown!

[sosolidjordan]

whats that supposed to mean

[cyclops365]

late 90s i guess

[bhvictory]

2001 this series was shown Challenge.

[AtheistOrphan]

Leslie Crowther looks drunk, but I used to have a real crush on Lsa Goddard!

[bhvictory]

Earlier that year (1989), Leslie Crowther received treatment and counselling for alcohol addiction, a battle he rather courageously won.

[adamgray83]

Maybe that's the only way he could get through the show. Tim Rice has a look of faint embarrassment at the start.

[antster1983]

Where's Christopher Biggins when you need him? ;o)

[glass9]

Quality stuff.

my dad has the same jumper as bob.

[dpay02]

LOL pause 1.07

[lennylazerbeam]

What a terrible TV show

[dpay02]

Moyles!!!

[harshsmit]

come on this is classic television, we get nothing entertaining these days, these were the golden days of ITV!

[hommerrouge78]

I feel ashamed for having watched it. Lionel Blair hasn't aged at all.  He still looks about 100.

[oldrubbish1]

Ha Ha.

[paladin696969]

christ this is painful ! - i was 20 when this was on, compared to the digital television age this feels like its some eastern european channel, but at the same time - its fantastic! lol

[iamatrekkie]

that is the worst theme tune! It goes on for ages!

[DOND192]

Who the hell is Eve Ferret though ?!!!

[DOND192]

Brilliant clip, love the theme music !

[eddochan]

i want to see the whole thing!!

[johnnyc2712]

I'll have a P please Bob.

[nightfire620]

watched this clip, sat there going she`s dead... he`s dead... he ought to be dead...

[clavdig]

LMAO!

[clavdig]

It's like Celebrity death pool!

[DeccaQuinne]

OMG I didn't realise these gameshows were real - I thought they were childhood nightmares. Those jumpers! Those hairstyles!
