Did anyone actually win the car?

I've been watching loads of these - seen a lot of caravans won, but the 'let's see what you could have won' is always a Fiesta, Metro or Pug 205.

Saw one yesterday morning where they won a grey Metro biggrin

And one couple left after round two with ZERO pounds. First time I recall seeing that. Jim gave them a bottle of Champagne as consolation.

I watch it at weekends, always try to guess who Bronze Bully will be. Also do lookalikes but then I do that for anything..

Challenge do seem repeat the same series/episodes quite often and miss out others which can be annoying but then I rarely get to see what's shown in the week.

This is amusing too, not sure if it is still updated.

I'd say that's better than the Directors' chairs, which seemed to frequently appear.

Last night's had the ultimate in working class bling - his & hers gold rope neck chains.

Not if you don't have any cutlery.

"Winners in the 1985 series mainly won fitted kitchens, holidays abroad (considered quite an event back then) and the kind of caravan your parents told you to stay away from as a child. It looks even more like a rapist’s lair today."

Accompanied by the theme tune played in a minor key, just to rub it in even more! hehe

Should have bought Jim back.
He's had a number of strokes, so walking and talking has been a real challenge for him in recent years.
He turned 80 this week and has recovered a bit from his big strokes in 2014.

I love tuning into this.

My observations:

People had "Proper " jobs. Plasterer, book keeper, factory worker. No one in the media, personal trainer or life coach. Proper jobs.

The women were plain but slim. If you got this type of woman now they'd all be fat. Greggs visitors.

People had a lot thicker hair than now, i blame regular showers and shampoos that strip the hair of natural oils.

Participants were happy to be on the show just for the show, they didn't see it as a means to build a profile as a reality show contestant.

Plus of course people in Derby or stoke winning a speedboat.

Always have two episodes recorded on the planner just so I can round the evening watching one or two with a glass of whisky.

Far prefer the earlier shows for the naffer prizes and also the topical questions are a bit harder as they're further back in time. biggrin
