[Feisty1967]

Coronation flag seller, that just got me!!!!

[Feisty1967]

The show in the UK actually started in 1979 not 1977.

Wogan's Wand was actually a car ariel with a camera glued to it lol

[hdayejr]

Kinda looks like the US 1990 version imho

[geography27]

I went to the Brighouse Gala years ago! It does exist.

[goodtimes0000]

miss you les.

[quizmaster85]

1:45 - If only Cuddly Ken were in the studio to see that...

[623058]

its started in 1979!!! not 77, les took over in 1984.

If challenge did get it back it would have to get cut by 5mins to fit in the 24 mins slot . thus making it enjoyable.

is les dawson any relation to richard dawson?

[kraal718]

Many thanks for posting these.Why does Challenge not show them anymore?Presumably they dont have the rights,yet they continually show the same endless episodes of Bullseye&Family Fortunes.

Les Dawson is a true comedy legend.I just love the way he affectionately mocks the prizes,the contestants and the panel.

"Call this a panel,its more like a knacker's yard" Lol ;)

[MegaDave1973]

les dawson was simply a legend on this show. the best part of the show was when he took the mickey out of the rubbish prizes which were on display.

[putthetellyon1]

Have you got Les's last BB?

[mrmatchgame]

Sorry, I don't

[cottonwhiskersuk]

I was VERY pleasantly surprised to see a full episode presented in its entirity, complete with helpful references. 5 stars.

[EmoDeathStar121]

They Didnt Know what Dreadlocks were well Laorine Chase did lol o and that man at the top

[ClassicMariah03]

Did u record it with a blank video and recorded it in the video player? Just asking :)

[doddzesgameshowroom]

I also have this episode taped of Challenge in December 2007. unforantely they no longer have it under lciense.

[lnichol9]

Anyone remember Kenny Everett bending that mic when Terry Wogan hosted the show?...lol...

[allen1jeremy]

I have a couple of editions of Blankety Blank where Kenny Everett was in the panel and he bent the microphone on both editions.

[bobbystormont]

The perfect format for Dawson.

[antster1983]

A "Nicholas Parsons" clone? Oh dear... ;o)

[syrett76]

This is classic comedy. They really dont make them like this any more. Who's on saturday night tv these days?....Vernon Kay? Tsch!

[radburn80]

i totally agree with you, you cant get good quality t.v. like this anymore.

[oldrubbish1]

Vermin Kay. No talent, looks a bit unusual. Give him a job.

[viddykiddy18]

That's exactly what I wanted the American Match Game contestant podiums to do. That light show you saw in the opening (ala Scrabble & Match Game '98).

[TheGreatRichter]

Some of his best comedy is when he is lampooning the other guests and contestants.Comedy genius

[irishmanufan]

les dawson was so brilliant .

[VisualEyeCandy]

What year was this released?

[mrmatchgame]

2007

[VisualEyeCandy]

Weird. It looks like an episode from the 70's lol.

[mrmatchgame]

oh, the show was produced in 83

[allenjeremy]

Actually it was from 1984.

[puppi3000]

@VisualEyeCandy No it does NOT look like an episode from the 70s. Open your eyes and look at the haircuts and clothes. Any idiot can tell it's the 80s.
