VISION ON SOUND EPISODE THIRTY EIGHT - TX JUNE 27 2021 - QUIZ AND GAME SHOWS

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 27th 2021

Episode thirty eight of VISION ON SOUND finds regular guest contributor PAUL CHANDLER returning to talk about his passion for quiz and game shows on television.

Starting, rather naturally, with TELLY ADDICTS, we consider the shows featuring such hosts as Bob Monkhouse and Paul Daniels before moving on to the extraordinary adventures of TREASURE HUNT, and Paul's own very personal connection with BLOCKBUSTERS.

Games shows like RUNAROUND are name-checked, and Crackerjack [CRACKERJACK!!!] makes another fleeting appearance, as well as wallowing in the general nostagia of SCREEN TEST and PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT. We also take the time to ponder upon the viewers' relationship with the game show on television, and the general difficulty of coming up with yet another brand new concept designed to give people the opportunity to win prizes, points, and pounds in the modern era.
