Remembering Classic Gameshows and a bin! As I look after my dad's house, I like to watch his satellite TV and see all the delights of Sky+ like damon was talking about in his weblog because he has had it installed recently. one channel I find great on Digital has to be a gameshow channel called Challenge. It's where they show lots of classic and new gameshows and I like watching all the contestants answering the questions and cringing when they know the answer but can't say it!

My favourites on Challenge have to be Takeshi's castle which is a wierd Japanese game show where contestants do games to storm a castle at the end, and they are funny people who do it and always end up failing half the games. The other one I like is my old favourite Knightmare(on the odd occasion when they show it!) but my favourite classic has to be 3-2-1 the classic gameshow that Ted Rogers used to present and do a wierd hand gesture with his fingers to symbolise the show. How did he do it though is beyond me as it is hard to do(I've tried it and failed!), It also featured the strange but lovable mascot of a bin named Dusty Bin. Bloggers of of the era may remember it!

They also had clues for the end game and the other night while watching it brougjht memories back to me.

I wish they made gameshows like that still, as they were classics and am sure they are sadly missed by all of us, aren't they? I think Challenge brings them back to a new generation of Tv watchers that might have missed them.  ¶ 2:34 pm
