Chain Letters was recorded in studio 5 at former Tyne Tees Television City Road studios in Newcastle Upon-Tyne
Dave did say on his website that he was promised a second series of Chain Letters but sadly never it happened because ITV were clearing away the game shows at 9:25 am so they could do the chat and talk shows in order to be in competition with the BBC.
Excellent full edition of Chain Letters with David Spikey from 1997 collinplace ah back in the days when game shows used to occupy the 9:25 am slot until the next year.
When did the studio recording of this edition of Chain Letters that you appeared on Collinplace take place?
@collinplace Thanks, don't worry if you couldn't remember the date as long as you enjoyed your time as a contestant on Chain Letters that's the main thing.
I think Dave Spikey was hopeless. I just saw an edition on Challenge a few moments ago and during the Add A Letter round, he actually questioned whether a contestant would be allowed to declare 'astray' and 'alike' as valid words. I can understand that the choice of host for a show such as this may basically be down to whoever is available at the time, but surely it would be expected that they'd have a good grasp of English.

Dave Spikey was about 45 years old when he started hosting Chain Letters back in 1997. He turned 60 last month.
