We will never get those days back again. i well remember sittintg in front of the telly with my family, watching shows like this, and 3.2.1 [with Ted Rodgers], The Golden Shot {with Bob Monkhouse}, The Generation Game [with Bruce Forsyth, and then Larry Grayson], New Faces [which was the Britain's Got Talent of the day - along with Opportunity Knocks]. Then we would watch Saturday Night at the London Palladium], and many more. Those days are gone now...forever. In reference to Nicholas Parsons [ who has sadly died now], he starred in an episode of Dr Who, alongside Sylvester McCoy.

[@benholmes1608]

Well-said!

[@rickykilby4672]

Love the syn drums in the theme tune,very trendy at the time.

[@tomb3796]

The pace of that show by today's standards is mind blowing. Today ee would have 6 recaps, lots of pauses for suspense and a couple of long goodbyes to make the show into an hour long snoozefest.

[@hingebracket6242]

Yes and those are the reasons I avoid modern day tv quizzes along with endless cookery shows with non-entity cooks and other mind numbing trivia.

[@MattTheSpratt]

it's this exact reason why I'm hoping that the proposed pilot for uk jeopardy bears fruit, that game is nothing but great, solid quizzing

[@michaelmcdonald2348]

The only place you could buy anything apart from at the corner shop or down the pub on a Sunday back in 1983 was to be a contestant in the Sale of The Century studio in Norwich.

[@martinhaigh8345]

Love the way they always displayed the car with the hazard lights on, as if it'd broken down. Which cars did, a lot, back then...

Nicholas Parsons once trod rather hard on my foot while taking his seat near mine in a theatre in London. He was very tall. Just thought I'd share that little anecdote rather than.saving It for my autobiography.

Fab adverts, no stupid mixed race, mixed gender, mixed sexuality, mixed ability/disability actors that this generation say we must see BEFORE we get to the product itself. Where were the families who had one of everything like they do today? NP, you were from a better time and place.

[@beaufighter245]

susiehoult51 agreed. This was my favourite quiz.

[@bluebear1985]

For a couple of years, they tried using the format that had already been popular in Australia for some time. There was one contestant on that version who may be somewhat known these days, going by the name of Simon Cowell. I wonder what became of him?...... ;)

[@dvidclapperton]

@@bluebear1985 That wasn't Anglia TV though. Kevin Ashman from the Eggheads was also a contestant on the show.

@crazyclive Not on ITV. The Challenge TV version with Keith Chegwin was very cheap.

Sadly it came to an end today...

[@brucedanton3669]

I remember seeing the series here as of course it was shown on the ITV network I think on a Friday night at 7.00pm if I remember rightly so too. I live in the London area so it was just after Thames then became LWT at the time. The famous Anglia knight ident so then too. Also, if this was 1983, I think alas that this was the last series of it that they did then, it having started in 1971 so I read before so too. I guess that they decided to end it there so then too. Thank you!

[@waynemarshall272]

This has to be one of the best theme tunes ever.

Sale of the Century aired as a daytime game show here on NBC from 1969 to 1973, used to air mid mornings. It seems the British version was a prime time show.

[@chrispearson3333]

It was, partly due to the BBC on strike, as Commercial TV the only channel on air at the time, but it was the most watched show for one week in August 1978, about 22 million, 33% of the national population. I worked close to the studios, the cars came from the local Mann Edgerton Car dealership next door to Norwich Railway Station where I worked. Great days. Sadly just a local news studio to the ITV Network now.

Had IBA established a more reasonable price limit (maybe around £10-15k instead of just around £6k) before 1993, they could've had better bargains & prices.

[@Tubewings]

I wonder who holds the record for highest score in a single episode of British Sale of the Century. And I see they still had the rule where any contestant whose score was reduced to zero was out of the game. By this time, the Australian and American versions eliminated that rule (that is, contestants whose score was reduced to zero could still play).
