Call My Bluff 1994

[@douglasmilton2805]

Oh more of these please. What a pleasure. Erudition, wit and all so civilised.

[@vernaemery876]

Loved this, especially with Frank Muir.

[@chewvalleyfilms2020]

Thanks for sharing this. Many happy memories of this great show.

[@Feakre]

Would love to see these old shows again.

[@Altoclarinets]

search "two of these people are lying"

[@danwoodhouse9290]

There is 2 episodes from 1988 up now

[@liamhemmings9039]

Happy days, watching this with my parents in the 80s. Robert Robinson, in spite of his combover, was a fantastic host. A long lost England.

[@prideofdurham4776]

Smoking on a panel game.There's nostalgia......and talent!

[@welshaccenttutorials3104]

He was dead within a year of filming this

[@lynnemacfadzean4855]

loved watching this show with my late mama She used to be LOL at the definitions

[@brucedanton3669]

Thank you for this of course-I remember it so well too! Well done also.

[@atticusfinch8652]

Où sont les neiges d'antan? How I loved this programme. May we once again extol the lettered, the schooled and the cultured.

[@MrDavey2010]

So classy and professional.

[@nickbarton3191]

On one of these shows in the 70s, I actually knew one of these words.

[@joelonsdale]

Wonderful!!

[@yfrontsguy]

Love these! They always are over far too soon. I wish we could see ALL of these golden oldies again. I suppose they have all been erased bar one or two?

[@BINGOTECH-lt8lt]

Call my bluff is coming back to BBC4 starting tomorrow night at 9

[@jenniferholden9397]

Robert Robinson's combover takes some beating, I wonder where he kept it at night? I wonder how long it was when it was released from its Brycreme confines.

[@urbanosprey]

It's a question for the ages Jennifer

[@johnnoble01]

It was last seen roaming the moors, looking for pray.

[@bloochoob]

Brylcreme Confines 🤣

[@RobertLocksley385]

I was given to understand that he once rented it out to Hamlet cigars for their 1986 ad campaign.

[@97channel]

1:10 This episode was produced at the height of the great spirit level shortages of the late 1960's.

[@andrewhutchinson36]

It 's actually from 1994!!

[@nicfewer8393]

I was looking for the one with Jenny Agutter, but had to settle for a brief glimpse of her at 4.31 in this. Sinead Cusack at 4.28 was also in it.

[@thoughtfulprofessor4198]

They should just rerun these on BBC2

[@donroberts2126]

Nice to see the "Curse of the Fatal Death" 'Doctor' and 'Master' hanging out together!

[@andrewmurray5542]

Didn't realise it was first a US show it seems so British.

[@tombradford7035]

In one episode the word "windee" came up and someone said it was a form of comb-over where the hair was wound around the follically-challenged person's head. Robert Robinson looked very uneasy.

[@danwoodhouse9290]

was Call my Bluff the only quiz show where the host was referred to as "referee"?

[@LoneKharnivore]

Props for 'urbane and louche.''

[@112sje]

I played Cricket for 40 years and never saw anything near a "Thirteener". A few overthrows to get 8s and 9s but never 13.

[@andrewhutchinson36]

According to the OED website, the word dates from around 1900. Perhaps it was coined as a result of just one particular incident?

[@artsed08]

Amazing how the language has changed in twenty-four years... NOBODY speaks like this anymore, neither on television nor in real life. Now we're stuck with Jafaicans who are super stoked at everything, and say 'like' eighteen times a minute.

[@pbatommy]

Call my bluff was created by Goodson-Todman

[@Altoclarinets]

if you want a modern show like this look no further than KZbin panel show "Two of These People are Lying"

[@sebeckley]

Dimps means someone stupid or a cigarette butt according to several sources. They also got effinge wrong. They say it's from the OED, but it's not perfect.

[@jenniferholden9397]

Wasn't the English language more colourful before we got BBC standardised?

[@serenechaosuk4682]

did BBC2 really start in 1964 ??

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

+Serene Chaos UK yeah it did. I don't remember this version i remember the late 90s version with Bob Holness with Alan Coren and Sandi Toksvig as captains

[@andrewhutchinson36]

@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 Yes and Call My Bluff started its long run not long after the launch of the Channel. The show was 29 years old by the time this final BBC2 edition, also Frank Muir and Robert Robinson's final edition, aired in 1994.

Thank you so much! Please, do you have the episodes 9.7 and 9.8 (1974) and18.11 and 18.12 (1983)? Many thanks!

[@richardbutterworth7724]

Sorry, this is the only one I've found so far. I doubt I'll find anything from 1974 or 1983, as this is from a collection of VHSs that were mostly recorded in the early 1990s.

[@AdeleC472]

@@richardbutterworth7724 Thank you! I hope those episodes weren't lost... :(

[@flaggerify]

It's a retrospective not a reboot.

What is a Nicebecetur?

[@danwoodhouse9290]

Also known as a nicebect or a nycibecetour, nicebecetur is an old Tudor-period word for a dainty or fashionable young woman.
