Tom Baker just sounds so cool, you'd believe anything he told you 😁😁

[@radic888]

Wow, game shows were so cerebral back then. We are so dumbed down today.

[@saintetienne755]

Frank and Patrick - true characters and gentlemen - when times were good

[@steeleye2112]

Eloquence and genuine personality on a level way beyond what we have now. Also immense comfort as this was one of the first grown up shows that I understood as a child.

[@macmarone]

Gabriel Drake ❤

[@Mudge07]

Gabrielle, sister of Nick.

[@jjohnson-stoker]

Oh yeah, 🔥

[@misdangered4326]

6:24 🤪

[@cheapphish]

The Doctor seems quite taken by Lt. Ellis. 😊

[@nigelcarren]

I am sitting here trying to imagine what sort of beautiful super-human Tom Baker and Gabrielle Drake wouid have produced! 🇬🇧🤔

[@FranssensM]

Wonderful. Lovely guests, the “charming” host 😂 and entertainment from gentler times.

[@richardbrown1189]

Great to see a whole episode from the Patrick Campbell era. He was always my favourite team captain.

[@pauladaniels-bc7rj]

I adored Tom Baker as a child of about seven 🥳 Saturday evening sat with my irish grandma watching doctor who x

[@Mudge07]

Delightful decorum of polite gaming, with personalities of the UK screen and media. Alan Coren was a favourite of mine as he always had his wry humour ready to deploy. The weekly, gentlemanly joust of Frank and Patrick with quizmaster Robert; in a less involved role than Brain of Britain compete.

[@peterharrington7523]

OMG thanks, this has brought a memory back of Tom on Call My Bluff. Fun show but The Doctor as a bonus. ❤ 😄

[@dreamer459]

🥰🤗💗

[@holyspacemonkey]

What a gem!

[@grahamnancledra7036]

I always recall, Frank Muir, incandescent in rage as he failed to get Patrick Campbells definition of "auf", as a pregnant fairy. A brilliant programme.

[@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968]

Don't know why this appeared in my recommended list, but it did, and I'm glad it did. Marvellous quiz that I used to watch every week when telly was actually worth watching. Good to see Tom making an appearance. I wonder what he thought of it all? But OMG 1977... where did the time go?

[@harrypalmer4857]

"Ah! Tish and pish! Thruppence and fourpence. Would that it were, Mr Muir, would that it were..."

[@FranssensM]

Mr Brown from Carshalton Beaches suggests turning carrier bags inside out. To avoid giving free advertising to Mr Sainsbury and men of his ilk. Men of his stamp. Aye, men of his ilk, stamp and kidney.

[@bob-sb2zu]

Back when there were guests worth having .

[@harleyhartley3168]

now it would just be woke anti-tory nonsense!

[@keithfenwick9992]

​@@harleyhartley3168 Lazy, pointless, meaningless statement

[@drewcampbell8555]

​@harleyhartley3168 What an idiotic comment. Every old TV show on KZbin has some tedious Tory saying, "Oh, those Wokists would never allow that these days!" It's utter drivel. And at time of writing, your "anti-woke" heroes - the most cynical and corrupt chancers ever to hold office - have been in power for 14 years, egged on and defended by the majority of our non-dom, tax-dodging media barons. So instead of whinging on social media forums, maybe try working out why our economy has been trashed. CLUE: It wasn't the unions, or the gays, or the immigrants. It was your anti-woke grifters in government.

[@monsieurdel]

​@@harleyhartley3168No, just soft crybaby people on social media going on and on about "woke", whinging everywhere

[@jnielson1121]

This is... this is REALLY entertaining. I love this! :D

[@gordonbeattie4864]

Fast forward a couple of decades and Mr Coren would be sitting in Mr Muir's position!

[@danielwoodhouse5531]

keep 'em coming

[@redalert2834]

Strange that Frank Muir didn't realise that Anglesey, Wales and the UK are not remotely close to being 14 degrees north of the equator. However, the claimed longitude was a match for the Menai Straits.

[@ianmax69]

I wonder if Tom travelled back in his TARDIS just to verify incony was indeed used at the turn of the 16th Century !

[@dreamer459]

I hope so! 🤗🥰

[@fuccasound3897]

so its UFO verses Dr Who.

[@greatlambrini8722]

Fun intelligent tv. Now we have Big Brother.

[@firecriss1392]

Doctor Who vs Lt Ellis---"would you like a jelly baby?"

[@jimbilton1956]

I don't know how you obtained these recordings of Call My Bluff, but thank you so much for posting them. They are such a joy to watch again, and serve to show just how far most modern 'entertainment' has sunk in comparison.

[@dreamer459]

You're very welcome! 🥰

[@wmalgal]

I had a crush on Miriam Stoppard....

[@enkisdaughter4795]

Does anyone else feel the urge to grab some Cadbury’s fruit and nut?

[@TCHorwood-xq7mw]

I am, indeed, a Fruit and Nutcase.

[@bioLarzen]

Haha, Frank Muir not even realising (probably) that he is introducing his sucessor in Alan Coren :)

[@alexfletcher5192]

Is not the problem with Tom that there was entire generation out there that would take his pronouncements as gospel on the basis of that voice and his Saturday night influence?

[@stephenholmes1036]

Toggs or toggys i still the word for my heavy coat.

[@garyproffitt5941]

He shook my hand Tom Baker.

[@diamondaxe4133]

This is like the game ‘Balderdash’

[@SuperBagshot]

Is Would I lie to you a modern version of this sort of

[@misdangered4326]

Presenter has a comb-over of biblical impressiveness. Without it he would have a parting like the Red Sea 😁

[@Zeb1432]

Thank you..!!! those were the days..!!! **( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡° )**

[@dreamer459]

You're very welcome! 🥰

[@SuperBagshot]

Has Robert a comb over or trollibobs

[@stevedom1]

everything is dumbed down now!!!

[@kiltedjohn1000]

Tom baker at the height of his role as drwho And also nick drakes sister there

[@RickPzazz]

"My one claim to fame was an uncle high up in the army," says ... (checks notes...) Nick Drake's sister???🤔

[@shaftsbury94]

BBC2 9 BELLS.

[@barbarajacob]

Tom Baker was so sexy.

[@markjackson6587]

You have a woman's hands!

[@bioshock6935]

Remember watching this as a kid such a boring dull show with old people and now i watching this and now old myself lol

[@joblesswideo-fb7nj]

15:56 Tom Baker might have at least watched the show before agreeing to appear on it. Utterly hopeless

[@diamondaxe4133]

It’s a bit of fun.

[@Agui007]

Poor Tom lol

[@Lytton333]

Where was this legendary extempore wit? Could it be he's not as rapier as he's been made out to be?
