Strike It Lucky - Children's Christmas Special - 3rd January 1989

[@brendasanderson2793]

I loved Michael Barrymore and he was great with the kids would love to see him back on our screen

[@rickhardman7376]

Shame about the one in the pool

[@gunsharck]

@@rickhardman7376 Aye but he had NOTHING to do with that so go chase whoever did or wind your neck in

[@briandoyle667]

It would be great to know where those children are today, especially Leroy!!

[@ClassicWorld19]

That is so beautiful! Miss these days and Michael!

[@rosielauren1]

He’s a great show man very funny x

[@jameshill7729]

this poor guy was ruined by the press such a talent

[@Dim4323]

Watch Life stories

[@gunsharck]

Thats right, he had nothing to do with what happened

[@Embracing01]

Yeah I've no idea what went on with the death, but I've heard he has links to certain people and shady goings on, whether that's true I don't know. Seems like there was a massive cover up to me.

[@pagrant]

I love the specials

[@albaproductions9602]

Get michael back on the box, top entertainer of the highest calibre and amazing with the sprogs.

[@topazpenguin5740]

Great show, Michael really is a brilliant performer & has a great rapport with all guests. It's especially evident in these specials, he's naturally fun & engages with the contestants. Players might be in their 90s or in their teens, but he connects with every single person. Such a shame that his career crashed in the way it did.

[@breigesheppard8339]

Please bring Micheal back best ever show s was with him in them Tv now is crap with out him love that man forever 🤛🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️🍀🍀

[@kaw203]

Loved michael barrymore, such a good host. I still dont believe he had anything to do with what happened at his house

[@thenewmodfather]

Absolutely innocent

[@karnallewelyn1801]

What did he do?

[@kaywaters7478]

He cracks me up. The Cilla thing going on … brilliant.

[@victoriaharbach5968]

i bet those kids now in their 40s now😮😮😮

[@glenncooney3959]

13:16 The computer literally went off on its own 🤣🤣🤣

[@kevp7309]

Love to know what happened to these kids

[@TheSpotify95]

I love how the kids just decide to bank all of the prizes. I know I certainly would have done (except I wasn't born in 1989 lol).

[@gunamerstravels]

The accidental button press where the hot spot was, that was comical.

[@Doctor180185]

Am I the only one who's noticed that the kids on strike it lucky were more tactful than the adults? All the adults ever wanted to do was greedily get across to the other side for the big prize and forget the smaller prizes, but the kids always seem to be more careful with banking. Teaches me something about adults and kids.

[@TheSpotify95]

The kids probably appreciate the prizes so just want all of the prizes they are given :)

[@fernanda2539]

Especial de Natal ???

[@IWTBF]

1:55 a doctor or a cowboy

[@andrewfraser8094]

I think the pearson television international replaced the thames colour production logo.

[@timhanna40]

Did anyone else notice on the last screen there was 2 hotspots and 1 arrow. Surely 1 of the hotspots shoulda been a question.

[@Adam-zq5rw]

No, they're completely random. If you look at the first and third columns of screens, there's two sets of green arrows.

[@ninjaplays6472]

Any jungle run episodes?

[@ChrisVHS89]

Haven't got any Jungle Run eps

[@Dim4323]

13:16 well that a first

[@TheSpotify95]

yeah, monitor literally went off by itself

[@christopherhowells1954]

And the next week or at the weekend I saw the first pantomime in Shirehampton with Dad, his sister and my cousin and then I didn’t like the dolls in Only Fools And Horses.

[@fernanda2539]

Sou Brasileira. Moro no Brasil. Alguém no Brasil ???

[@Tubewings]

Is this the first-ever children's episode?

[@ChrisVHS89]

Yes I believe it is :)

[@christopherhowells1954]

My Dad had turned 39 and I was 3 and Lindsay was born the next month, but I don’t know if I liked Niall talking funny.

[@leeomara1885]

It Cant be 1989 Legoland wasn’t built until 1996

[@TMV83]

the original Legoland in (Billund) Denmark opened in 1968 so....

[@eclectica1]

@@TMV83 See how they go quiet when confronted with the facts.

[@TMV83]

@@eclectica1 Par for the course I guess, didn't actually expect a response to my 'clarification', but very true! I do remember back in the late 80s/early 90s that British gameshow holiday prizes were occasionally trips to Legoland in Denmark - couldn't tell you what shows/years necessarily, but I'd guess it would have been primarily on 'kids specials' like this one. I don't remember it happening on actual kids tv too often, if it all. When I was a kid part of me felt so jealous when people won prizes to Legoland Denmark as I was a big Lego fan, but for me it was always exciting when footage of Legoland was shown, it looked so magical!
