Blockbusters - 1992 Episode - Part 1 of 2

[@travelwell6049]

Such a nice feeling came over me when hearing the theme tune. I guess it took me back to a time in life when I enjoyed watching this programme. 😀

Lol bob so amused by the fact that there was a Hindu question for the Hindu lady.... who's actually a Muslim. lol

[@stickytapenrust6869]

So she's not a "Hindu lady" if she's a Muslim, is she? That's an oxymoron.

[@waivedwench]

I wonder what these kids are doing now.

It was a great idea for the UK to adapt this format into a show for school children. When it first aired in America, it was on from October 1980 to April 1982. It was hosted by Bill Cullen. They tried it again in January 1987 with Bill Rafferty as host, but it only lasted until May 1987. By the way, here's an interesting question from the early 80s show: What 'X' is a lake in Mexico noted for its floating gardens?

There are so many clips of Classic Blockbusters on here which is brilliant - however the only thing that would make the collection even better is the 1000th edition. By any chance, does anyone have it?

I've just found out that the new Blockbusters will be filmed at the Sky Studios.

Hey, where have your 8-bit and 16-bit videos of the Blockbusters theme gone from your channel?

[@travelwell6049]

6:16 what is he talking about? The question was quite at random, it just happened to come out?

[@GazMcEwan1873]

Simon Mayo has been confirmed as host for the new series!

[@Lozza144]

It won’t be the same as blockbusters from back in the day

[@GazMcEwan1873]

@mongrelvids Everything is remaining the same, the set, the format, the music although updated for 2012

[@bluebear1985]

I do suppose you're right about that one. I guess it does seem closer to high school age. I'm so confused, lol. I live in Canada, and despite the fact that we're still part of the Commonwealth, I have a lot of American influence on me. The fact that we share a long border is probably part of it.

[@tetrarchangel]

What is the first name of Ms. Mirza and how do you spell it? Does anyone know?

[@annabellesinger3717]

They actually asked for a p that old joke!

[@WillScarlet1991]

@mongrelvids I think he's a really bad choice. He's so boring, bland, and is nothing like the late, great Bob Holness. Mayo lacks the warmth and humour of Mr Holness. Hopefull he'll be a temporary host and get replaced asap (like Countdown); no-one could also match the late, great Richard Whitely.
