(Burgo's) Catch Phrase Australia - Full Episode (11.4.1997)

[@BeAGoodDoga]

Dinner time at my house in the late ‘90‘s. I wish 9Now would stream these.

[@SebastianJVW]

That "sound of music" one was just bizarre. I do love how incredibly 90s the set design is, with the glittery shades of teal, maroon, and lavender on the big triangles.

[@RexfromIslaNublar]

Definitely odd. Still, I was surprised neither contestant figured it out. Same with the ‘Right as Rain,’ ‘Busy as a Beaver’ and ‘Living on the Edge’ Puzzles too. Those were pretty easy. And yeah cool studio design, it’s like they tried to copy the classic 90’s American game show setup.

I used to watch Catch Phrase when I visited my Uncle and Aunt. They were the kind of people who would play along with the show. I never watched it at home. I preferred quiz shows like Sale of the Century that tested general knowledge. My gripe with Catch Phrase was that no one actually used the phrases in everyday life.

Wow, im 8 again. Thannku 👏👏👏

[@BeAGoodDoga]

I was 3 at the time…

[@lachlanpattersongameshows]

One of the earliest episodes of Burgo’s Catch Phrase from 1997.

[@7120Magnum]

The Friday episode from the second week - March 31 was the very first episode.

[@lachlanpattersongameshows]

@@7120Magnum this is the 10th episode of Burgo’s Catch Phrase.

[@AchtungBaby77]

I remember Mark, from memory he went quite far in this show! Never thought I'd get nostalgic over gameshows, thanks for uploading ✌️

[@matthewmcalister2165]

Same. I used to love this show.

[@soneill100]

I love catch phrase it's what ignited my love of game shows. Wish it would come back.

[@7120Magnum]

I remembered Hyundai getting involved with Burgo’s Catch Phrase, just forgot they’d literally jumped the fence from Wheel to Catch Phrase.

[@darrenm7064]

A Favourite. Hope it 'Marks' a Return to Australian Television.

[@bobomb1986]

Judging by later clips they presumably thought these "catchphrases" were too hard and therefore started putting people saying actual *phrases* on the screen...

[@AchtungBaby77]

I noticed that as well. Plus, the catch phrases from these early episodes looked more crude than what came in the post-2000 episodes.

[@DomFalance]

I'm glad Burgo got a job and didn't let his sacking affect his career.

[@pauljordan4452]

He still had his radio presenting.

[@matthall113]

I would always compete with my grandad with this show, i got really good and i was 9 years old.. 36 now 😂

[@AndrewO83]

I forgot how troll the last pictures were. Some could've been drawn better but they obviously make it awkward as possible.

[@guksack]

It's so close to the late 90s British version but not quite, like an alternate reality version.

[@Xothica]

She did not say sun bonnet 😂

[@Xothica]

And out of the trees 💀 25 years later I bet she still hasn’t lived this down

[@dracorex6876]

I really miss this show! So many childhood memories of guessing what the animated clips are hinting! Please, do upload more episodes if you got them recorded.

[@Larry]

There's loads of episodes of the UK one, it's still on TV even!

[@dracorex6876]

@@Larry I've seen them and I'm amazed how they were able to archive all the old episodes besides showing the new ones. I wish someone would do the same for our version and it's a shame we only get a few episodes posted with some being just excerpts.

[@RexfromIslaNublar]

4:06, 4:59, 9:50, 10:12 I really liked this show growing up, but I forgot how unintentionally creepy the ‘Out of Time’ buzzer sound was 😧

[@Confidentlyperf]

Music is so creepy.

[@dracorex6876]

Fueled by the cheesy animation of these early puzzles.

[@RexfromIslaNublar]

The ‘Time up’ sound is honestly kind of disturbing as well

[@Confidentlyperf]

Yeah. Tbh the last 10 seconds and the ‘you’e out of time’ sound is absolute nightmare-fuel.

[@RexfromIslaNublar]

@@Confidentlyperf well actually to add to that, if you listen carefully to the whole final round music you can hear beeps which sound like a hospital vitals monitor machine. And the music increases like someone’s having a heart attack or spasm until the time up sound like… well… you know. Yikes 😬

[@Confidentlyperf]

Yeah that just makes it even MORE terrifying as the minute goes on.

[@genetenz]

Out of the tree? 😅

[@andrewschwebel9866]

Sale of the Century next? Was it on earlier or something as a one off?

[@Zampakid]

Yeah it was a one off because of the Superleague Tri-Series which aired at 7pm.

[@7120Magnum]

Depends on where you lived. You’ll often find outside of the metropolitan areas “Sale Of The Century” was on in the late afternoon. In Cairns where I lived, this was the case - WIN was the Nine Network affiliate and would air the local news at 6pm, Nine’s Brisbane bulletin at 6:30 and then “A Current Affair” at 7pm.
