It was a great quiz show with six seasons broadcast between 1965-71 here's a link with a bit of background for those interested and dcfc and Alan Durban get a mention https://readtheleague.com/the-big-feature/route-one-and-all-that-the-quiz-ball-story If I remember correctly Ian Ure was the fallout- surely he wasn't really that thick?

uttoxram75 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Another great thread for us oldies..... As already mentioned, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5, Captain Scarlet (and the mysterons) were all brilliant even though they were ridiculous little plastic puppets, I was in love with Marina out of Stingray.... Doctor Who was serious stuff back then. Game shows that stick out were the Golden Shot, Sale of the Century (and now, live from Norwich....!!!!!!) Randall and Hopkirk (deceased), Z Cars, The Saint.

Absolutely my Mum still calls every new cat she has Marty after Kenneth Cope's character in R&H Watched a few episodes of it before Christmas on of the catch up channels unfortunately it hasn't stood the test of time well. Adding to your list I would offer Persuaders! with Moore and Curtis now that would take a king's ransom to get in the can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll explain why it's not on the digital channels anymore. Tried to buy the whole series on dvd once but was unable to. There was apparently a dispute between the writer and production company (I think it was that, definitely a dispute somewhere) that was preventing the entire series being released. May have now been resolved as that was some years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good shouts there. Used to love Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased). Caught it on UK Gold 3 or 4 years ago. Agree with @SIXTEEN AGAIN, that it hasn't aged well. Muckerette has a long standing crush on Captain Scarlet! (Seriously!) Marina was well fit! (That's not the same as having a bloody crush on her, though!) Who didn't hide behind the sofa for Dr Who? Scary stuff! Sale of the Century was on at 18:30 on a Saturday for a long time. It coincided with the mobile chippy van starting it's evening run on our street... and mum starting her shift on it. She'd pop out to work. We'd follow after ten minutes, grab a few massive bags of the first batch of chips, and sit with some freshly buttered "Take & Bake" straight from the oven, devouring chip butties from a tray on our laps... Always perfectly timed for "And now... From Norwich... It's the quiz of the week..."! (Don't think it was live though!) ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have now been resolved as that was some years ago. I've never come across it on Netflix or any other service. One of the things in dispute was the rights to the songs used. There was usually an original song in each episode. There are dvd box sets , which have the songs missing, or replaced with substitute music. There are also box sets where some of the discs play, and some don't. I have all the original shows on a hard drive, which my son , errm 'obtained' somehow. Great show. Especially the earlier seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
