You have to admit the UK gameshow format, in general, is dead. Blockbusters, Crystal Maze, etc, etc are a million times better than any of this Ant & Dec and Vernon Kay shite they give us nowadays.

@ryanhitmanfury Theres still some good ones, they're just tucked away where no-one watches them. Only Connect is fantastic, for example.

@Glenn1967ful - Oh yeah, the show that got panned and I think got scrapped shortly thereafter. lol

[ryanhitmanfury]

@Glenn1967ful - Red or Black. Escapes the memory. Must look it up!

@ryanhitmanfury

Or Red or Black, the most witless gameshow in history, I really miss the old quizzes.

@Glenn1967ful - Nail on the head. Wow DoND got repetitive and boring faster than any game show in history. But shows like that cater to the society of today that know nothing. Turn up, talk shit, positivity bullshit. Just open the fucking box. Boom, boom, boom game over.

Nowadays we have mind numbing rubbish like Deal or No Deal every day.

Someone should do a dance remix of the theme, sure it'd be a floorfiller!

Fantastic theme, sums up the excitement of the show, yet the audience still had fun doing the hand jive to it as well! Saw Blockbusters being recorded when I was at college in '87. During a break in filming, one of the carvings fell down, narrowly avoiding one of the contestants. Bob joked Dennis Norden would've loved it lol! I wanted to ask how the board worked, but was too nervous lol! Great show, simple but effective concept, nice fella. He'll be missed.
