I'm in shite tv hell...please roast me in the fires.

They are an absolute joy. I assume peeps know about this (there's a thread somewheres) but if not Micro Men may be of interest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXBxV6-zamM It's from 2009 but captures the era well.

Anyone for some early Nicholas Parsons? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_WrVNYO-co

I've seen Micro Men before (on da youtubes) but i'll watch it again because it's good. Oh dear, this SOTC is gold - was this the inspiration for Python's ''Spot the brain cell''? It's very close - the organ music, the greasy banter, the witless contestants.

[Jake Thingray]

Take Your Pick and its charmless presenter Michael Miles were actually the inspiration for "Spot the Brain Cell".

More Sale of the century action..this one has really nice picture quality considering. That cat sculpture is the most awful prize.

I was never the biggest fan of Tom but yes I remember this well.
Here's the slightly dull travel quiz show Runway which I completely forgot about...and it's not hard to see why.

"but you want me to get on the trike & cross the studio..."

No messing around there.
"Hello, let's meet the four people who are playing. David you're a civil servant and referee and once you got locked up. Tell us the story."

Sounds like he got locked in a cupboard during a game. "And you were probably more use there than on the pitch". Fucking 'ell Tom.

Still, that Margot Robbie lookalike under the ball bag lights on SOTC is my winner. And don' t worry Glamorgan you can be sure that cat went on to become someone's blunt instrument. Keep em coming.

Amazing vocal work from ''the singing ref'' at 13.29. Got to give Tom credit - he can get blood from a stone, music from a footballer and sartorial elegance from a pink jumper.

Drum roll, cymbal crash.

Karen and Carol are the ''Birds of prey'' & ''The Suicide Squad'' proto Harley Quinns.

Good stuff, that's a nice collection, thanks for the heads up.

Here's some more vintage gameshow goodness..the Lionel Blair witch project presents another show I used to watch barely out of my nappies. I didn't guess ANY of the tunes (well ok, a couple) and Lionel wastes no time with flashy banter, it's done and dusted like a fever dream.

That was positive wasn't it? I got caught up in it I must admit. Well done to Peter winning the shit car (always with the hazards at the beginning, which presumably will be used the most afterwards). That dripping tap sound for 10 seconds would put me right off guessing the previous 20 seconds of music at the end. I knew fuck all tunes either. Elements of Knowing Me Knowing You in there - Glen Ponder, the egg-shaped vignettes of the singers.

Anyone for Ask the Family? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjprLNd9BCk

If you'll excuse me I must develop my computer literacy...

Ask the family - well, that was awkward wasn't it? Creepy opening titles, socialist hippy family versus tory rich bastard family, disconcerting puzzles (hello spider in a box) and RR doing his best to be chummy but coming off flat. Name that tune was oddly satisfying and that computer archive is a geek treasure trove. I watched the first episode of Micro Live last night, nice digitizer action.

Probably the pinnacle of 90s lunchtime crap..but Dale's enthusiasm made this show more than the sum of it's parts.

Christ they turned shopping into a game show. Another shit car up for grabs, this time for home viewers. No hazard lights demo? I love it when the uploaders leave the ads in.

[JesusAndYourBush]

They literally just made a new series hosted by Rylan.  I saw one episode and didn't think much of it, but that's probably because it's a poor concept to begin with rather than his hosting abilities.

He came off much better in the little bit i saw of this than all other appearances

My youtube page is wrecked because of this thread. As revenge have this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGQ5ftVnNlc&t=188s

Half the contestants were either in the same tv show together, played the same character or were shagging eachother at some point. It's all very incestuous. Looks like Geoffrey was dragged off the Rainbow set. Apsel's a cunt as always.

[JesusAndYourBush]

I remember a Give Us A Clue with Dave Lee Travis where for some reason every title he had to mime out contained the word dick/cock/or some variation thereof.  He got more bemused/angry with each one.  Not sure what the backstory with that one was or if someone just thought it'd be a funny gag to pull.
