Aah, fond memories. I had one of the best days at ITV studios. They looked after me and my family superbly. The stars were all lovely and thanks to all at the studio. Great to find this on here as my old VCR cassette was getting ragged. I would love to see this gameshow make a comeback on TV

[@Moochtv]

I'm cobbling together a tribute to Tom, since I met him in Pwllheli in '93. Nice chap. Glad you had a great life at ITV. Sounds like you lived the dream

[@stevelee5562]

RIP Tom O'Connor. Remember this show so clearly from when I was off sick from school!

[@jaggass]

When weekday mornings were enjoyable different quiz shows and no Jeremy Kyle etc

I didn’t find out he had died until about 10pm last night, but something told me someone had died yesterday, I found him so funny, I regularly watched this with my Nan when I was a child, I still love my gameshows now, he will be missed by me for sure, maybe someone like John Bishop or Jason Manford could try and modernise this,

[@Dim4323]

I like the original crosswhits titles. Also they really need to bring this back.

[@jrgboy]

It would be good to see it back, shame that Tom is too frail now...

[@richardmulcahy9919]

Found out he passed away today

[@gbgameshows]

Glad it brings back happy memories for you Andy! :-)

Did you know that in the Tyne Tees area during WWII, a man named Gregg's created his bakery chain and Lindisfarne mentions the two words 'Sausage Rolls' in Fog on the Tyne. Just a pity it is honoured by the ridiculous Ladbaby.

[@ollycourt2654]

Ah, great memories! Although, at the risk of being pedantic, the 'connection' show in Round 1 is called 'A Question of Sport' - four words, not three!

Tyme Tees during its unfortunate “Channel 3 North East” phase, losing its famous TTTV logo, although a new TTTV logo was brought in after Yorkshire Television & Tyne Tees were brought by Granada later in 1997.

Great edition of Crosswits gbgameshows

[@jamesfish18]

I miss him, he was such a laugh, I also miss proper morning television

[@elvisleeboy]

Tom would have been the perfect host for Countdown.

[@bluebear1985]

Despite a couple of differences, this is based on the American show of the same name. It originally aired in syndication from December 1975 to September 1980, and was hosted by Jack Clark. Another syndicated version ran from September 1986 to May 1987, and was hosted by David Sparks.

[@SuperFerdie1965]

You know David Sparks? Specially when he puts his wet fingers in the socket.

[@AllenJeremy]

The David Sparks editions of Crosswits aired here in the UK on the cable & satellite channel UK Living when the channel launched in late 1993.
