Puzzle Party (2)

Contents

Host

Gyles Brandreth

Broadcast

Tyne Tees for ITV?, 1977

Synopsis

Seems to have been a proto-Fun and Games with games, puzzles, questions and jokes, and was obviously on the cusp of succcess given that it had a 1977 Christmas special but, erm, no second series. Apparently the competing teams were called The Coconuts and The Bananas.

Whichever team was winning got to hold the Gnu (a furry creature with ping-pong ball eyes), until the other side took the lead. There was the odd prize such as a tin of Gnu food which turned out to be a tin of baked beans covered with a new label.

Trivia

The producer was Anne Wood, who went on to earn squillions as the creator of Tellytubbies.
