@@pauljeffrey4054 "Call My Bluff" S11 E5 (1977) Gabrielle Drake, Tom Baker, Miriam Stoppard, Alan Coren thanx. i thought so... i was rewatching the old comedy show a few months ago... good stuff. saw it when it originally aired etc... he brought observational comedy tot he fore. though it has sadly, that brand of comedy, become nought but a confession as opposed to pointing out the flaws and idiosyncrasies of the human form... at least he acted it out, his observations, in sit-com format. which is what he should have done as a whole... more self deprecating well-to-do than type self deprecating screwball... yeah. i might go seek out kelly montieff.

To be fair, British people are still on average far more eloquent and intelligent than their American counterparts, and this is still largely demonstrated in their media. American standards in education have been so dumbed down in recent years that most Americans today have the reading and comprehension skills of primary schoolers and speak in 4 word sentences at best.

My late mum was a big fan of Call My Bluff and I would watch along with her. The 70s get a pasting from those who weren't even born then for hairstyles, fashions, attitudes etc, but the general quality of TV programmes was so much higher than we have seen for a long time. As for those mocking the 70s, well, wait a few decades and the 2020s will be equally as mocked for exactly the same reasons, except that there won't be a golden age of TV to look back upon.

I know it’s just part of the game but I felt a pang when Gabrielle said her one claim to fame was an old uncle in the military

Classic show that was ‘must watch’ TV when I was a kid. Funny and clever and we could all take part in trying to figure out which was the correct definition. Shame shows like this are a thing of the past. My school’s debating society (do they still have those ? ) frequently used to put on their own version of this at it’s monthly debates. Fond memories. Also in this particular episode, Gabrielle Drake (who I had a massive crush on from her appearances on UFO) and the magnificent Tom Baker, arguably one of the coolest blokes ever.

I was about 10 when this aired. What a year that was! Tom at the height of his powers and Star Wars and Grease (78) around the corner.

Two rectors of St Andrews university., Coren and Muir. An honorific title but with responsibilities which needed to be taken seriously. Muir was excellent, a talking Rolls Royce.

Frank Muir always reminds me of Cadbury's Fruit and Nut. Or "watch out, there's a Humphry about". Tom was Rasputin in "Nicholas and Alexandra", and Captain Rum in Blackadder ("you have a woman's legs, my lord"). Alan is the father of Victoria Coren Mitchell, of course. Gabrielle is still remembered and loved for her starring role in UFO

Patrick Campbell did in fact suffer from a dreadful stutter and this programme gained much in terms of audience figures from the fascination of watching him get through it
