Larry Grayson's Generation Game Christmas 1979 (extracts show)

[@Robby334]

Larry and Isla were a great double act. No such shows now on TV - you have to come on KZbin now. Sadly TV now is rubbish. Thanks to all the KZbinrs for capturing the best days on TV.

Aah 1979. I was 12 then. The world was much better place back then.

[@keithrich8373]

They were so good together and it became a staple of Saturday night for our family.Larry will never be forgotten.❤❤

[@wendyatherton4096]

Larry was hilarious.. So missed.. a lovely gentle man 😊

[@10beanz]

Ohh misses. Matron take them away! Classic catchphrases from Larry Granson.

[@anthonycharnock6560]

The Generation game was very international...Larry and Isla worked so well together....

[@gaggymott9159]

Margaret Kidd and her reaction to being joined by the wonderful John Laurie, as she recited 'The Wee Cock Sparra.' Was priceless....Memories of times and superb entertainers gone past! May they all rest in eternal peace ❤❤❤

saderly they are both dead rip

[@davidjones6470]

Classic TV at it's best😊

[@vantheman1238]

Great double act. Whenever you watch Isla talk about Larry you realise how much she loved him and what a kind and wonderful man Larry was.

[@nicklegg61]

Just class.

[@suziewade]

Complete and utter joy!

[@PeterRapley-gv5vt]

I love the look on the lady's face, when she hears Vince Hill over the phone, it's priceless! Bless her heart! ❤❤

[@PeterRapley-gv5vt]

Ah bless your heart, Noreen. You're lovely! ❤❤

[@davidprice5563]

Would this be the same episode that was shown on BBC Four Christmas gone - I only caught the last half hour of it, ......and thanks for throwing it in - it be great to see this again. 👍👍👍

[@davidbell6002]

Yes it was. It has been shown on TV twice after the original. This is the first repeat by BBC, I believe.

[@davidprice5563]

@@davidbell6002 Thanks 👍👍👍 .......after watching some of it - I thought it looked familiar.

When they knew how to make television

[@theresapierce3934]

Saturday night game shows were brilliant. Funny, entertaining and real, starring real people and solid entertainers.

[@PeterRapley-gv5vt]

God bless Larry and Isla. ❤❤

[@andynightingale7335]

As a child I was heartbroken when Isla left the Generation Game.

[@Jeffybonbon]

Simple harmless fun

I was 11 in 1979. I had just started comprehensive school. The previous year, we we t to LA on Freddy Laker's Skytrain for £125 return... the New York customs confiscated by ham sandwiches. I'm now 56 and still enjoy ham sandwiches. 😂

[@davidbell6002]

Obviously my wife Jane and I were a lot older than that. We had been married about 7years earlier (the show was recorde early in November 1979 and broadcast 2 weeks later. Jane and her fater were treated very well and looked after by Isla and Larry.

[@MrSargemneil]

Isla st Claire is a Stunning Woman.

[@davidbell6002]

Agreed. She was just as nice when off set as well. Never stopped eating sweets!

[@geordiepiper2615]

[@algie-t2w]

The Krankies were husband and wife! I don't want to think about it. It's too disturbing.
