Change the matching number in the ‘Choose a question’ selection grid to match the letter on the hexagon.To do this, highlight the number and then type in the new letter. We have a couple of links to some others in case in the million to one chance you don’t like this one! Including one on Prezi if you are much more up-to-date than we are!

The 1987 theme and variants would later be reused on Know Your Heritage as well as numerous commercials and network promos for various products. In later series, a bell (annoyingly loud, might we add?) would ring indicating when an advertising break was about to talk place. Bob would read out one more question before going into the ads. What purpose this served is unknown, but it seems most likely that it arose because breaks previously only occurred in between games, therefore there had to be an indicator that a game was due to be interrupted. No excuse for such an ear-splitting bell, though. make sure they know the aim is to join their colors up from one end of the board to the other( this is OFTEN forgotten) The game is pretty straightforward and is a quiz game where players have to choose a letter on the game board (see the images below) and answer the question under neath.Buzzing in and answering the question correctly meant that space would be turned your colour. One player had the white spaces, and a team of two players had blue. The idea of the game was to fill in as many spaces as necessary so that a contiguous line of your colour went across the board horizontally (for the blue team) or vertically (for the white player, who could make the journey in one less space than the blues to compensate for their single-ness). The 'two against one' concept proved rather contentious, with many viewers being of the opinion that the double team had an unfair advantage (even if they did have to answer more questions correctly to win), but the format was clearly such a winning one that the whole issue never really mattered that much and it certainly didn't affect the show's popularity or reputation. In any case, there were certainly plenty of single player-victories over all the series.

Thames/LWT: Wednesdays to Fridays at 5.15pm and Saturdays at 5.05pm. From September 1985, it was changed to Mondays to Wednesdays and Fridays to Saturdays at 5.15pm. Bob brought out his glove-puppet friend Harold the Hedgehog on the show on a semi-regular basis, apparently quite often as a result of requests from contestants and/or viewers. A double team who appeared on the show in 1985 brought in a spider puppet named Horace, whom they later sent to Bob, ostensibly to be a friend for Harold, but we don't seem to recall Horace making any further appearances. However, Harold did reappear, at the request of Sandi Toksvig, on at least one occasion during Bob's tenure as host of Call My Bluff many years later: Bob and Harold between them helped Sandi to define one of the words.

Days of the week changed and additional episodes were added as well to make it four per week on occasions. The contestant, an aspiring pilot, won despite some turbulence. (The polka-dotted hexagons resulted from an electronic glitch.) 1987 [ ] If no one gives the correct answer for a question you can use one of the extra questions that you set up. Central in association with Mark Goodson Productions and Talbot Television for Sky One, 18 April 1994 to 17 February 1995 (180 episodes in 1 series) Retake your seat and we'll carry on with the game - thank you very much!" This was often followed by, "Well, there we are!"

We have a few of these (all linked below) in case you don’t have time of the inclination to edit them. We have put them all in a zip file TVS: Wednesdays to Fridays at 5.15pm and Saturdays at 5.05pm. Mondays and Tuesdays were filled with Sons and Daughters. The fifth series was switched to Mondays to Fridays at 5.15pm and Saturdays at 5.05pm. The game is immensely popular in our classrooms, and is often requested. However, we do STRONGLY suggest that you play through a couple of times on your own PC before unleashing it in a lesson to make absolutely sure you know how it works. On another occasion, a highly unusual answer to the question, "What 'P' are known as 'the lungs of London?'" was 'Prostitutes' when in fact the answer was 'Parks'. Another was when Bob asked, "What 'L' do you make in the dark when you're making a wild guess?" and one contestant answered, 'Love' (the answer being 'Leap', of course).Gumtree.com Limited is an Introducer Appointed Representative of CarMoney Limited who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, FRN 674094.

Now that there is a winner of the head-to-head challenge, the advantage is the winning team gets t choose the movie cards that go into the next round. All the cards fall into different genres, the idea is to collect them all, so this helps hedge the cards that are coming. The winners draw six movie cards, chooses three for them to take into their challenge and gives the remaining three to the other team.
