That’s my mom & dad (Liz and Bruce). My dad died in 2014 and every time I watch this, when he says “hello Jarryd” to the cameras, I absolutely ball my eyes. Thank you for sharing this, Ross ❤️

[@rosskki]

Thanks for sharing about your dad. Take care, mate.

Telly Funquiz was an electrifying show on the TV1. Martin Bailey used to say "no whispering please audience". Lots of prizes were won. SABC has all the episodes in their archives. We need to bribe them to reflight this fantastic show. Martin Bailey is still behind the microphone in UK. All the best Martin. We miss you with that nice accent.

[@Teddy_Bass]

Cant believe someone actually posted this. So many memories as a kid

[@surenmoodley7744]

This was a proper 'family' programme.

[@camiologytv7149]

I watched this a child. The game, and the end tune music, was such nostalgia.

[@BrianB2579]

Martin is now in the UK as Senior Broadcast Journalist BBC Radio Cornwall.......

[@SandraRix86]

I still have my Telly Qucks, big and small. Brings back memories of my childhood, thanks for sharing ❤.

[@MervynGarnham]

Thank you to the person who vhs recorded this show and for keeping it all these years. Now safely on KZbin. Thanks again.

[@rosskki]

My pleasure Mervyn. The drama getting it converted from PAL VHS in the USA to NTSC Disc to digital.. I can't tell you.. but we got it done.. and it's the same guy in the video, that got it done! :) (Me)

[@bluebear1985]

I just stumbled on this right now. Looks like it was a good show. It appears this format was adapted from one in America, where it aired as "Strike it Rich" from 1986 to 1987. It was presented by sports broadcaster and former baseball player Joe Garagiola.

[@andrewschroy6368]

Which would also be adapted in England as Strike it Lucky with Michael Barrymore-- which lasted from 1986 to 1999.

[@Carol-ei9uj]

Well done Ross! great memories, we did the show too but have long lost the video

[@rosskki]

Carol, getting it converted was a drama.... but so glad I did.. it's great memories.. maybe you could get yours from the SABC library? Hope you enjoyed the experience.

[@kirstymoss9810]

I still remember the jingle , and jeesus so many memories , what ever happened to Martin Bailey?

Just did a serach - looks like Martin Bailey is a freelance broadcaster/voice over in the UK

[@robintyson591]

None of the prizes are worth anything today. The TV (old cathode ray tube), the fax machine (remember those?), the wristwatch (remember those?), the CNA gift token (they are gone), the Pentax camera (!) and that old 'all in one' air conditioner. Maybe the XPanda security bars would still be worth something ....

Well, Ross, 12300 Rand, that was quite an amount back then. For the first fifteen minutes, I thought this a 1980s show, and I was flabbergasted when I found out it was 1993. Still very all-white, even by 1993 standards, wasn't it?

[@carolynbeyer9255]

thought the same thing... !

[@vincentvanwyk5522]

Actually I went to a showing of this once and it was 1993. What struck me most was how plain and dirty and unassuming were the benches the audience sat on. Also, it took about an hour and a half to film the show due to set backs etc and even got one couple to redo a scene with them having to fake the wrong answer again!

[@Daud76]

So white that they had to make a well dressed African family in a new fashionable blue Citi Golf. Have a look at 18:12. 😄

[@christobosman5710]

Who cares if it was still white , blacks had their own t v chanel , and you didn't find a white faces their , so stop stirring shit .
