The contestants on Blankety Blank were always desperately dull, weren't they?

And Terry was unfailingly kind to them :-(

who competed for the 'prizes'.

Apparently Terry's microphone was a standard Sony tie-mic stuck on the end of an aerial from Halfords.

Well played, Sir TW, imo.

[Classic Jorge]

Basically he came into his own when he could inject a bit of good old fashioned laughing at Johnny Foreign.

Deathly dull most of the time, mind.

Damn you bad-AIDS!

Too many common people on it, you see.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Better times, in some ways.

Consider the date of the final episode of series 1 of Blankety Blank: 8th May 1979.

Five days previously, Mrs Thatcher had won the first of her great election victories, and four days subsequently, Alan Sunderland would win us the FA cup with his last-gasp winner. :cloud9:

Good times, really.

I had a kid in my class whose parents never allowed him to watch ITV, which at the time was jam packed with seminal teatime gems like A-Team and Knight Rider. I swear to god the poor kid used to try and make us play Dr Who every play time, or at least put Dr Who into the world of A Team.

My mother was a fan of both Coronation Street AND Crossroads :-( Our TV was inhabited almost entirely by common people.

[Ashberto]

I was allowed to watch Blue Peter. Dr Who. Dads Army. The Sunday evening drama (Poldark / Onedin Line etc) Not sure what else. When we visited the proletarian grandparents I got to see stuff like The Generation Game, which I thought was pretty dreadful.

wd The Parents tbf.

My super-heroes were Liam Brady and Malcolm MacDonald.
