• 22:42, 16 May 2023 (hist) (diff) Strike it Lucky ‎ (→Synopsis: and a better-quality screengrab of Barrymore bantering with the contestants before the game. A boring caption this time, unfortunately)
• 22:39, 16 May 2023 (hist) (diff) Strike it Lucky ‎ (→Synopsis: a better-resolution screengrab of MB doing his "Alwight" intro, with a caption playing on what was said in this intro (and referring to his attire in every episode until 1993))
• 22:29, 16 May 2023 (hist) (diff) N File:MichaelBarrymoreBanter.jpg ‎ (Michael Barrymore banters with the contestants on Strike it Lucky in 1989) (top)
• 22:26, 16 May 2023 (hist) (diff) N File:MichaelBarrymoreAlwight.jpg ‎ (Michael Barrymore does his "Alwight" intro on Strike it Lucky in 1989) (top)
• 01:41, 9 May 2023 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (Slight rewording as regards the second- or third-placed couple gambling on almost every occasion that the Prize Board couple did not, and the two occasions when all three couples declined to gamble)
• 01:00, 9 May 2023 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (And if the second-placed couple declined the gamble...? In fact, in one episode in 1995, the second-placed couple didn't even come back because the non-dart player had already flatly refused to gamble)
• 00:46, 9 May 2023 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (...and, of course, the lady contestants got goblets instead of tankards ;))
• 00:37, 9 May 2023 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (It was as late as the eleventh series (1991-92) when the 101 gamble became prizes *and* money, and "BFH" entered the show's lexicon. And the couple got their Bendy Bullies and tankards regardless...)
• 00:18, 9 May 2023 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (Clarified that the couple had six darts all told to throw the 101. And "the" standard dart board, because of course it had already been used for Pounds for Points and the charity throw ;))
• 23:27, 8 May 2023 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ ("You have won the dishwasher, the tumble dryer, and Bully's Special Prize tonight, the midi hi-fi. Would you like to gamble those prizes against tonight's Star Prize, which is hiding behind Bully?")
• 23:14, 8 May 2023 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ ("We've had a lovely day" was sort of a catchphrase for declining the 101 gamble; couples saying it would then continue with "and we'll let someone else have a go" or something along these lines)
• 04:38, 22 February 2023 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (There was a gamble in 1990 where the NDP scored 69 and the DP threw 20, 1, 8 (making 98). Certainly one thing these painful gambles had in common was that the DP threw one single or treble 1 too many)
• 01:59, 26 January 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Broadcast: updated Christmas episode and series counts under Lifted)
• 01:47, 26 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Champions: is six days too soon to add the sixteenth Champion of Champions...? ;))
• 00:21, 10 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Miscellaneous: Rachel's not so new now, of course - but the person who anagrammed RELAUNCH into NURACHEL on her, Jeff's and the first blue set's debut is still a genius all these years later ;))
• 00:04, 10 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Miscellaneous: series 60's GF also had an apposite conundrum - not referring to the departure of any presenters, but to the fact that this was the final episode recorded in Leeds)
• 23:54, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Miscellaneous: the ERACLOSES conundrum was more of a reference to Carol's departure from the show after 26 years, though of course Desso left with her)
• 23:41, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Miscellaneous: pretty apposite conundrum scrambles for Jeff Stelling's and Nick Hewer's respective last shows too, IMO... ;))
• 23:23, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Champions: always fun rearranging the table of regular series champs after each series... ;))
• 22:47, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Weaver's Week 2012-01-15 ‎ (If it's all right with IW, there's one little correction I'd like to make here: Bob's SNT appearance was in 2004. Westlife, the Pet Shop Boys and Sally Lindsay were in this particular episode too ;)) (top)
