Hello Ross! I’m a digital media producer with the National Archives of Game Show History in New York. I produce a weekly podcast featuring conversations with former game show contestants. Could I chat with you sometime about your experience on Telly Fun Quiz?

None of the prizes are worth anything today. The TV (old cathode ray tube), the fax machine (remember those?), the wristwatch (remember those?), the CNA gift token (they are gone), the Pentax camera (!) and that old 'all in one' air conditioner. Maybe the XPanda security bars would still be worth something ....

Telly Funquiz was an electrifying show on the TV1. Martin Bailey used to say "no whispering please audience". Lots of prizes were won. SABC has all the episodes in their archives. We need to bribe them to reflight this fantastic show. Martin Bailey is still behind the microphone in UK. All the best Martin. We miss you with that nice accent.

I just stumbled on this right now. Looks like it was a good show. It appears this format was adapted from one in America, where it aired as "Strike it Rich" from 1986 to 1987. It was presented by sports broadcaster and former baseball player Joe Garagiola.
