Lucky Numbers (1)

Contents

Host

Noel Edmonds

Broadcast

BBC 1, 9 September 1978-21 March 1979 (17 programmes)

Synopsis

Phone-in game vehicle for post-Swap Shop Edmonds. Main notes of memorability: cartoon sequence with lots of telephone lines buzzing and making the birds fly off the wires, and the comedy booby prize of a year's supply of bubble bath.

Segments included Guest the Audience, ABC quiz, Mystery Guest and the Ping Pong quiz.

After the series, Lucky Numbers was kept as a smaller segment within the Swappie itself.

Trivia

Two series of ten programmes were transmitted live from the same studio as Swap Shop. When the Shop closed at 12:10pm, the set was cleared for Lucky Numbers to go out live at 7pm on the same Saturday. According to producer Clive Doig, the show "included magic, juggling, mime and musical acts from the contemporary pop scene".
