#Mr gameshow full
It's all a bit confusing.Įven after this mauling, Mr & Mrs was never going to be off our screens for long, and after a one-off revival in the 2007 Gameshow Marathon, ITV brought it back for a full series. They had to score £300 to come back to play-off for a cruise holiday at the end of the series.Īnd then there was Sion a Sian, the original Welsh language version on HTV's Welsh service and S4C, and the UK Living revival, hosted by Children's ITV mullet man Nino Firetto and made by HTV. Correct answers (or matches with their partner's answer) would earn an increasing amount of money over three rounds. Answers were decided by moving around props or magnetic strips on a board. Couples who did well could qualify for a middle game which involved both partners answering "general knowledge lite" questions and ranking things in personal preference order. Towards the end of the Batey run, a "bit of business" was added to jazz up the format. Eventually, Batey won the day and it's the Border incarnation that most people recall, with its pink boudoir set, a tiny audience and the clacketty jackpot board. Alan Taylor was the host on the HTV programme and Dudley Savage played an electronic organ, not only playing the signature tune live but also musical questions. In the seventies both Border and HTV took turns in producing the series, each doing a few weeks at a time, and there was always a 'handover programme' when it changed to the other company. We never understood how two ITV regions both seemed to be making the same show. It's not widely known that the original host was Alan Taylor (erm, he's on the right)
And a marvellous carriage clock, with all our love. If the jackpot wasn't won, we think you just got a tenner for each correct answer. Six out of six correct answers earned the couple the jackpot prize which rolled over by a tenner with each unsuccessful couple, thus sometimes into three figures. Meanwhile their other half sits in a soundproof booth self-consciously listening to some "nice" music through some big headphones.
It's your husband and wife quiz game, Mr & Mrs! Two couples "from all over the British Isles" are each separately asked three multiple-choice questions selected from pink envelopes fanned out tantalisingly by the host, regarding their knowledge of their partner's everyday habits.
