Blockbusters 1992 - The Two Pauls + Tim

[@Giovanni_Team_Rocket_UK]

Best game show intro in British TV History! The graphics of it during the 80’s was mind blowing!

[@sillygoose635]

Practical effects.

[@C345OFR]

The Two Pauls are so posh they're almost a parody, haha! Like something Harry Enfield would've come up with.

[@timdunn2344]

They were hilarious - they were like this all the time, not just an act for TV.

Loved this show. I believe all contestants were 6th formers. Was a big show when I was in 6th form. Great 2 v 1 format I've never seen elsewhere.

Except for here in the US -- we invented it first, but you in the UK turned it into an artform.

If you told me that Sheema and the two Pauls were in their early thirties, I would not have questioned you.

It's quite evident the voiceover chap reading out the computer specs had no idea what he was talking about 😅

[@grahamfisher5436]

many years later.. After going on all those travelling trips Paul Right can remember some of his adventures But he was verry verry drunk

[@Norfolk250]

13:43 When Paul - the second of the pair of Pauls, pairs with Paul (the first of the pair) on the pedestal, he (not the second mentioned Paul) proves that he (the prior to the previously deferred to Paul) appears to be quite the pear - in the partial-profile.

[@Norfolk250]

And Paul (the same) reminds me of Frank from Hotel Transylvania

[@Jojikiba]

And you, good sir, are partial to pears, are you not?

[@speedbird737]

Also, the smaller Paul reminds me of a clean-shaven Leo Messi.

[@wrexham1983]

Notice the board at 6:00 as there is two N’s one in the middle and one the right where there is usually a W and Paul 2 says towards to the end of the game the N on the right so It was noticed I’m guessing
