Eggheads' Daphne Fowler - Sale of the Century - 1983

[@dirkdiggler8769]

1983, but FIRMLY rooted in the 70s.

[@WallyPyneoil]

Well, it was the previous decade. Stupid comment.

[@stephenfreestone7956]

"I know nothing about mathematics, but is the answer 4.6654%?" "Well yes Daphne, you are absolutely correct!"

[@alexhughes3922]

thanks for finding this classic tv show used to watch wonderful memories with nicholas parsons and legendary john benson

[@stevebbuk]

Yes and don't forget the marvellous Peter Fenn..

[@gbhxu]

@@stevebbuk Do you remember John Benson and Peter Fenn on Gambit too?

[@bonk352]

Also the legendary Fred Dinenage was host and quiz master on Gambit still on in the early eighties. Interestingly, there was a middle aged guy who played a Hammond organ, can't quite remember but it could have been John Benson but don't quote me on that!

[@Staggercfc]

"An atom!!!" exclaims Nick. That woke up all the old dears in the audience, bless them.

[@glenpovey1297]

Wow! At age 63, this brings back memories. I used to call this how 'a pox on civilization' and I don't think I was far wrong!

[@JackSmith-hx8zh]

Pah, humbug!

[@feport8922]

people try for years to get on a show but others manage to get on every show going

[@parksyist]

Joke Init I've applied for alsorts never been picked once not even an audition

[@Jolliffesguy]

Great to look back on the prizes esp the car!

[@pudsrus2]

Smart lady,even smarter as she got older👍

[@SpideyVids]

Daphne seems to have been on just about every quiz show going at the time.

[@JJONNYREPP]

Eggheads' Daphne Fowler - Sale of the Century - 1983 0502am 29.6.23 is she still featured on eggheads? i wouldn't know as i only see it fleetingly these days. i know ch5 and the BBc seem to be airing the show now - which is odd. and the team is gradually morphing into a completely different set-up. i think big chris is still there... as for daphne i think the only show she didnt feature on is bullseye... p.s oh she has - errr featured on bullseye. strange... maybe she missed out on win lose or draw???

[@SpideyVids]

@@JJONNYREPP 😁👍 I'm not sure - I haven't watched Eggheads in ages.

[@petermills542]

On Sundays I think. All seems so innocent ! The whole family watched or Dad snoozed !

[@petermills542]

Even Daphne had caught the Diana style clothes bug !!

[@binzy698]

brilliant from daphne and beautiful too

[@speakfreeley4473]

I can image Nicholas Parsons getting into that Mini, driving it around wrecklessly, & about to smash the door off. Like that nightmare sequence he did on that Renault 5 ad.

[@stan4097]

That's numberwang!

[@foreversingle1975]

Wow a mini. But where is it now!

[@brendonmcmorrow3886]

A legend in action.

[@scottthomson9284]

That was brilliant 😂 Good on you Daphne.

[@Mark_B544]

The questions are so easy 😂

[@quizmaster85]

22:52 - (thinking) Finish the question, PLEASE!!!

[@earlgrey691]

Did l just clock Anneka Rice displaying the portable tv ?

[@buckyheeler8098]

R.I.P. Nicholas Parsons

[@Mark_B544]

Knock knock..

[@Inaflap]

@12:57 what was that 4 second rule? He answered in under 4 seconds.

[@johncooper3712]

Nicholas Parsons didn't tell us, but the correct answer to that Adam's ale question was 'Water'.

[@chrispearson3333]

Like most East Anglian ale, water! I know I live here with the ditch water lol. Love the show though, worked with a former Anglia TV stage hand who became a train driver after being made redundant when ITV and Tessa Jowell stuffed those good old regional stations, for the crap we have now.

[@ivewarrior2]

Well done Daphne

[@stevebbuk]

20:14: Leslie you came up against two very bright contestants and as you're particularly dim and failed your 11+ you struggled in this exalted company..

[@edcampion3998]

she really is good no wonder they made her an egghead

[@bonk352]

Daphne is very good, shame she still isn't on Eggheads

[@ryangarritty9761]

'You can die in style.'

[@MultiVince95]

Nice

[@millionseller001]

Think Leslie's given up!?Nice to let them keep the prizes and money they won at the end instead of taking it all off them like what they do these days...

[@5star555555555]

Funny that they would have a contestant named Peter Smith, the same name of the announcer of the Australian edition of the show.

[@greenfingersgardener822]

In today's money the Chinese rug is worth £3,284. Tv and video worth £3,132. today. glassware £2,239 today. Canada holiday £3,756. today. Some decent prizes on that show

[@lemonfish4497]

She is certainly good at remembering isolated facts.

[@iamosiris3254]

...she's beautiful...

[@Tubewings]

[@portcullis5622]

Just seen a clip of Daphne on Bullseye from 1982!🤣 You know it has been a long winter when you start clicking on shite quiz shows from the early 1980s!

[@DrewidDesktop]

Just a minute...oh Nicholas, you sound a little patronizing

[@parksyist]

I bet daphne knew 🤣🤣

[@bpot22]

This game goes by fast....I get lost real easily.

[@stevebbuk]

Yes wouldn't it have been calmer had they kept the camera focussed on the contestants?

[@bushmonster1702]

It’s super fast.

[@camelia9802]

The contestants were clever

[@abbamashlover123]

Most annoying buzzer sound!

[@AllenJeremy]

The buzzer noise was also used on Gambit which was also made by Anglia Television.

[@JJONNYREPP]

Eggheads' Daphne Fowler - Sale of the Century - 1983 0445am 29.6.23 as regional tv is sadly nigh on defunkt i wondered if Anglia tv is 1: still in existence 2: still got it's tin foil knight on horseback? yeah, i know it's not a tin foil sculpture per se but it used to make me laugh when i was a child to see such a thing ie: a tin foil knight atop a potters wheel rotating.. ummmm. ok i had a childhood invested with lack.... i aint from east anglia so aint been able to sample tin foil life.

[@michaelmcdonald2348]

I believe Anglia is like all the other former ITV regions in England and Wales, now just ITV plc.

[@neildutton8077]

Nicholas Parsons was dreadful.

Really? An absolute gentleman in fact. Just look what we have now.
