Everything these days, is sex ,violent , lude horror ,nudity bad mannered at least we had decent standards then , god help us ten years from now x

[@enlightenedone7141]

Nanette Newman was a looker, wow!!! Una Stubbs is just delightful, lovely lady

[@OlafProt]

Nanette was a stunning woman. And I always liked Una Stubbs.. seeing her now she really reminds me of Paula Yates in manner and face.(that's not a bad thing, as far as I'm concerned anyway, for either of them)

[@BB-wc9jx]

Quality guests and genuinely likable celebrities, unlike the shower of s....we have to tolerate today.

[@alisoncrocker9919]

So very true!

[@the_lichemaster]

Kenneth Williams was always a hoot

[@citizen1163]

@the_ lichemaster They'll never be another. Much missed.

Did I tell you I was Mollie Sugden’s bridesmaid

Please tell me she had purple hair in real life.😝

[@susannayeakel5447]

Wow! WHEN?

[@LurkingCrassZero]

Kenneth Williams was a genius at miming

[@citizen1163]

@Lurking He was a genius. Full stop.

[@paulypilot]

I'd forgotten how anarchic Kenneth Williams could be! One of a kind. This was such a fun show, although very dated even at the time in 1981!

[@williambriggs79]

I love how Kenneth Williams makes it all so hyper competitive .

[@Fcutdlady]

He brings his character from the BBC radio shows just a minute i think !

[@oldskoolfool141]

Kenneth was Kenneth, most GUAC guests - actors primarily - looked marooned and quite uneasy without a character to hide behind, small wonder he stood out, love him

[@bestdisco1979]

I loved Una. Bless ❤ her soul.

[@daveluck5717]

The best !

[@fernanditaluiz2591]

I recognised her from "Summer Holiday".

Take us back to those days

[@zeddeka]

God no

[@paulphilipempey1]

A really enjoyable and entertaining show from back in the day. Some real characters on here, especially Kenneth Williams and Lionel 'Rat-A-Tat-Tat' Blair. Thank you for the upload.

[@roberthindle5146]

Lionel Blair was as camp as a row of tents. I remember being surprised to learn he was straight and married with kids. Another interesting fact - he was once taking a stroll along Blackpool central pier with comedian Alan Carr when they spotted a suicidal man hanging from the railings. They pulled him off and he was fine in the end.

[@chriswinwood6501]

Amazing cast. Bloody hell it’s a tough show though.

[@AllenJeremy]

This edition was originally broadcast on December 31st 1981.

[@Lytton333]

Really miss Kenny Williams. He was utterly unique.

[@sharonperry1000]

A lovely revisit to the show.Always fun and great to see the 'greats' of yesteryear 👍

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

I must protest most strongly! Molly Sugden is not JUST a shop girl! She is the Senior Salesperson of Ladies Intimate Apparel, and I am unanimous in that!😊 And someone should have taught Mr. Blair how to sit while wearing a kilt, either that or gotten him a bigger sporran😉

[@iant9461]

Nanette and Michael are the only ones still alive as of July 21st 2023.

[@BluebirdFrank]

I watched this show from when it started in 1979 up till around 1981/2 when I left school and started work in January 1982 Both Una and Lionel gone with many of the ‘guests’ Many of the early guests are no longer with us🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😭😭

[@ianbentley7276]

only Nanette left of the contestants, :-(

[@trotterbruno6570]

15:59 as Kenneth rightly said, and surely most/all of us were thinking...why didn't he just point to his or someones elses "back" . made such hard work of it. got to say with the Cinderella rockefella, the guessing by the women was not up to the usual standard. very passive. great upload as usual. working my way through these.

I agree, what a twat, no one got it and he didn’t even get why. Just point to someone else’s back if you have to. It’s like the easiest word to describe.

How lionel blair got W.K.R.P in cincinnati from that mime i will never know .....looking back now im sure the team captains una and lionel got given the answers or fed down thier ear pieces to get the difficult mimes to help keep up the atmospher and intrigue on the show and to also make the scores neck and neck or close to it for the show that would keep folks watching ....nothing like a so close finish ect
