About this deal

For fans of the Marvel Universe, our LEGO Marvel collection is full of detailed models and sets that’ll make your favourite characters come to life. Less successful is Bradley's regular habit of asking the panel if they've worked with each other before, causing the canned laughter machine to be dusted off whenever we get to hear about whichever reality TV show they've appeared on together. Right now there's so many debates about what people should and shouldn't laugh at, so much so that it leaves some confused. And for fantasy fans, pick up a Harry Potter charm bracelet from our collection that’ll whisk them away to the wizarding world.

First, there was Terry Wogan where part of the fun was him trying (and failing) to keep the celebrities in check. Everett was a regular during the Wogan era, but not during the Dawson-era - it's probably fair to say that the show wouldn't have been big enough for both Dawson and Everett, given that Dawson was a rather more dominant personality than Wogan. At the end the player with the highest overall score on the scoresheet wins and gets to spin the spinner to see what prize they have won!

Elvis, although had the episode been filmed nearer the broadcast date, then Charles may have muddied the waters a bit. Going into the 2000s, he hosted a live show on Channel 5 alongside Gaby Roslin, that was a lot of fun. Lastly, Su and Lorraine Kelly claim to have been on Blankety Blank with Terry Wogan and Les Dawson - Su was actually on with Les, while Lorraine did a couple of Lily Savage episodes.

Bearing in mind that even genuinely amusing moments from the panellists were shot down in flames by Les Dawson, then here every remark from a contestant or panellist that's worthy of a half-smile has Bradley having to prop himself up on the set so he can keep standing. Incidentally, there were occasionally seven celebrities, in the event of a double act, such as the Krankies or the Chuckle Brothers, filling one celebrity slot - more so in later editions).I've watched a few old episodes on YouTube, and they hold up well, still funny, boosted by the sheer magic of the late, much missed Les Dawson, the best of the presenters in my humble opinion.

They then had to pick a celebrity-who had jotted down his/her own answer a few minutes before-and hope that the celebrity had guessed the same answer. Two contestants took part and had to make sure that their answers matched with the minds of the six celebrity panellists.

In the meantime, Paul Daniels pledges to be "sophisticated", while Barbara Kelly questions his claim that he had a father.

The laughter is a serious issue on the show, where there's not even a gasp of breath that isn't presented to viewers without hysterics from the studio audience. Stacey Dooley writing down "genitals" is something that wouldn't have aired on the old show, but so be it. By the early-2000s he had got into TV acting, and he was one of the few people brave enough to appear in the bizarre soap Night And Day. It’s really isn’t an exaggeration to say that it was more valuable than most of the actual prizes on offer. This is someone who had one of the most successful careers in TV and radio of anybody, and there isn’t really too much that I could tell you about him that you wouldn’t already know.When the wallet is empty, turn the whole set of questions upside down and place them all back in the wallet - Remember to replace the Key Cards. This fun feline-themed card game is action-packed and is suitable for kids over seven as well as adults.
