"WHAT'S IN BOX 13 TONIGHT?"

[ajay999999]

Wonder what the prizes were?

[MrLiqouricestick]

I can't beleive this was what used to keep us all entertained in the 'good old days' but it was eagerly awaited 'family' viewing...and did we laugh..yes we did. There wasn't much else on TV then. A time of innocence sadly long gone - I miss those days.

[albionplace]

@MrLiqouricestick  Me too.

[CBETelevisionNetwork]

are there any full episodes of take your pick

[WhirligigTV]

@CBETelevisionNetwork Yes there are some in existence. The BFI have one on their website but you have to be registered to watch it:

[CBETelevisionNetwork]

[CBETelevisionNetwork]

@Whirligig Watch it. There isnt

[CBETelevisionNetwork]

there is no sound.

[WhirligigTV]

@CBETelevisionNetwork Yes there is!

[kaferere]

OK, here's your starter for ten......... What was the name of the organist?

[WhirligigTV]

@kaferere It was Harold Smart!

[kaferere]

@WhirligigTV Correct!! You know your stuff!! Now for the bonus round, On "Stars on Sunday", Jess Yates was seen to be playing the organ (a Lowrey Berkshire model) throughout the show but what was the well-kept musical secret that has still not been revealed about the self-ordained "Bishop"?

[mikerubb]

@kaferere  They had another Organist as well.. "Robin Richmond"

[BillDFC]

Take the money! Open the box!

[everyone06]

Used to film this in Studio 1 at Wembley. Studio 1,2,3 & 4 have been demolished. At least Studio 5 at Wembley is still there.

michael was superb at trapping them on the yes no interlude. far better than des o'connor many years after this.

[Mellieha23]

Did you know Michael Miles is dead?

Yes

Gong!!

Lol!

[TheWisemonkey8]

Gosh the tension is killing me :).

[foxy5764]

This series ran from 1955 to 1968. I, too, get the sense that this clip is later than 1955.

Like many others, this brings back my black and white TV memories of the sixties. There are other clips on Youtube of the ITC adventure series, such as The Saint, Dangerman, Man in a Suitcase, The Avengers, The Prisoner etc.

[james54able]

This looks like ealy 60's from what I can remember of the background and the styles. I wonder what happened to the gong?

[filtonkingswood]

Cracking! Brings back so many memories of watching scratchy B&W TV in the early sixties..... now.... what the hell was the name of the bloke with the gong? I got a fiver coming if I get it... I'll give you half!

[82648947]

Man with the gong was Bob Danvers-Walker.

[WhirligigTV]

No, It was Alec Dane.

Bob Danvers-Walker did the commentary.

[82648947]

You are quite right of course...somehow I had no recollection of the name Alec Dane, he must have one of those instantly forgettable names.

[spitfireJEJ]

Alec Dane was also Michael Miles's manager/agent.

[glamrockerqueen1]

Micheal Miles always reminded me of Dennis The Menace's Dad - I think it was the suit! 10+

[band222]

Is Michael Miles dead? YES*****DONG

[spanks2you]

NOW I KNOW I'M ANCIENT !!

[Milesy09]
