[@jillolearyhepburn5202]

Sir Bruce is and always will be the original showman!! It will be extremely difficult to replace him. He brings back so many childhood memories for me. RIP Sir Bruce you are dearly missed.

[@formerlybernard6460]

Bruce, Monkhouse, Dawson. No one else required for any game show.

[@eclectica1]

Les Dennis made Family Fortunes his own. No host better before or since. Including Monkhouse.

Wait...what happened with Annalise?

[@hongvtm4929]

Her cause of death was accident she died 2 years ago she was in australia

RIP to the legend that is Sir Bruce Forsyth

[@chrisfinch8637]

Such a wonderful man, he was. Knew his style of hosting these types of shows for quite some time.

Sad but true Annalise Braakensiek has also since died, supposedly by suicide after the break up of her marriage

I like the original format

Best opening ever LOL

Sir Brucie's last series of PYCR before his fallout with ITV, his appearance guest hosting Have I Got News For You and spending 9 glorious years as host of Strictly.

The reason he fallen out with itv, because of the changes of this show

@@Dim4323 Wasn't it to do with putting it on at a stupid time on a Saturday because of the soaps dominating the 7-8 time slot on Friday nights.

And he was forever grateful to HIGNFY for restarting his career.

[@robertcomer2767]

Play Your Iraqi Cards Right. Ian Hislop didn't know what the **** was happening

[@eclectica1]

​@@robertcomer2767I wager that he did. Sir Bruce asked the HIGNFY producers if they wanted him to present the show in a more formal style, but they said that they wanted him to do it in his usual manner. No way they kept Hislop in the dark over it. He had to be playing along.

The amazing part is how often couples don't play "Play Your Cards Right" strategically. The best strategy, (for the ones who guess 1st), is to stay as close to the middle as possible, causing the other couple(s) to be at risk with their higher/lower guess. Yet, most try to give 'actual', possible numbers, which gives the others too much leeway in their guesses.

[@yabbaguy]

I respect that opinion, but personally disagree with it - I think veering too cautiously towards the middle doesn't challenge the opponents enough with questions like the farmer in the city one at 11:30 . Going aggressively low with their guess of 18 makes it tougher to say "even lower than that", even though here they did.

[@onlyweatherlol93]

That 2 at the end jeeez 🤣🤣🤣 so so sick

[@CreightonRabs]

There are very few presenters out there who could exceed the bar Jim Perry set with the original US (late 1970s-early 1980s) version of Card Sharks (of which PYCR is based off of). Bruce Forsyth has done that and then some (albeit with a couple of British based quirks to PYCR compared to Card Sharks in that you have couples instead of solo players and the reduction from four couples to two before the main game).

[@eclectica1]

Just so you know, for the majority of the UK run of the show, there were two couples competing against each other. The four couple format was part of a reboot that ultimately failed.

[@omegaman6494]

Production of the show in this series transferred from LWT to Thames of all people

[@robertcomer2767]

Didn't last long as a Thames Production seeing how the format was changed and the way it was rescheduled from its usual Friday night home.

[@omegaman6494]

@@robertcomer2767 I think that was because ITV and Bruce Forsyth had fallen out so they stuck this series at teatime rescheduled from primetime

Only one of them is, the other sadly died at 46.

[@nudisco300]

Bruce needed to update his look to go with the jazzed up theme tune. Dale Winton went from lime green padded suits in the early 90s to leather jackets and chinos in the 2000s. Bruce always wore his large lapel old man suits all the way through since the very very first PYCR.

Mukka: We asked 100 car salesmen: Do you find that most men know less about cars than they think they do? Listen to all the women out there. "He didn't know what he's doing out there." How many cars salesmen said yes, they did find that most men knew less about cars than they think they do?

+Chris Robson Mukka: We asked 100 male strippers: If a woman told you that your best feature was your eyes would you be please? Good question that. Because when Bruce was a Chippendale... (Dogsby and Tigs laugh) They didn't know where to look for the best. Anyway, how many male strippers said yes, if a woman told them that their best feature was their eyes they would be please?

WTF was the point of that 4 couple pick a card shit at the start never used to do that

[@ScottyBoy34]

Bad luck tuff

[@Dim4323]

Why money. In the original it was a car?

[@97channel]

Two main reasons being Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and the lifting of the restriction on commercial TV which once capped the value of prizes to £3000 in the 1980's. Millionaire completely blew the competition out of the water, when it arrived with its huge cash prizes. Because of its phenomenal ratings success, other gameshows copied the tricks and incorporated larger jackpots to as much as the budget could stretch. What's interesting to note though, all made the jackpot hard to achieve and on average gave away smaller sums that they bragged could potentially be won. Cars were once a staple of gameshow prizes, because they were the top desired prize which the restriction could stretch to. The influence of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire can definitely be seen in many aspects, in this revamped version of Play Your Cards Right.
