... Good to see a quiz show which 1) Has genuine celebrities on it 2) Not doing it for charity and 3) Does'nt need to put the word Celebrity in front of it! Thanks for the nostalgia! 👍👏👏👏👏

[@ACNC1]

2) These days they do it for charity AND pick up a an appearance fee

Am I the only one who still wishes they'd gone on to complete the production of the Star wars/Star Trek spoof Carry On Up Uranus in the summer of 1980? I remember hearing reports that production was underway, and then nothing more was heard.

You are so full of it. Life has never been better and I'm your age.

[@DiscordantVice]

@@jjausyou’ve missed the point. Less distractions, less channels, less of a rat race, no social media bombarding our brains. They were certainly simpler times which for many equates to happier. I’m sure not the same for all but your comment is unnecessary.

[@jjaus]

@@DiscordantVice Apparently you think you're in charge of me. You're not. Are you the reigning Miss Manners of your oeuvre? If you feel your brain is being bombarded by social media and more channels, you're an idiot. Nobody is making you. Unless you're tied to a chair like Clockwork Orange.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I have to say it was the best two decades of my life. Life was normal and simple with no insta, mobile phones or even computers, family time was much better and we only had TV channels, not even computers well not for personal ones. Everything on Sunday was closed as it was Church and family time. How times have changed.

I totally agree, I think they should put these repeats on the actual telly, even perhaps late at night ? I bet it would get tonnes of viewers, both for the nostalgic value, & the fact that it's so much better than today's tripe

[@brianmarshall4753]

Una stubb & Lionel Blair RIP 😥

[@nickrobinson8339]

What days these were. I had a massive crush on Liza Goddard who was beautiful. In about 1981-1982 when I was working in Aldwych House in the Aldwych in London, and about 21 years of age, a woman ran out of the Aldwych Theatre or Waldorf Hotel, probably the hotel, to get into a taxi which a top and tails dressed doorman was beside holding open the door for her. She ran into me and bounced backwards almost knocking me over. She was very apologetic and gave me a kiss on the cheek as an apology. It was Liza Goddard. To say that I nearly fainted is an understatement. Too this day this 62 year old man is still in love with her classical beauty and amazing personality. and soul.
