Friday night at 7.00. When a series of sale of the century ended Winner takes all had the same slot hosted by Jim Tarby. My brother and I used to my nan's house on Fridays and she used to give us 5p each for each question we answered right. Once the coupon man came and as she went to the door to pay him and get next weeks coupon we got loads of answers right. On her return we told her and she didn't believe us. She thought we were being untruthful. "I don't give money to liars". She got really annoyed and just didn't believe us and got pissed off as we persisted and sent us home. So off we went.

Why didn’t you pause the tv while she went to the door? I bet you looked up the answers on your phone too, cheeky blighters.  Sale did have a great theme tune though |

Can't beat the caravan, speedboat or mini metro on Bullseye. Anne Aston rom the golden shot, there would have been some beating going on after that show. |

Can't beat the caravan, speedboat or mini metro on Bullseye. Jim used to claim they would always give the speedboat to any winner that was no where near any water. |

Can't beat the caravan, speedboat or mini metro on Bullseye. And here’s what you could have won......... Always wondered how they split a mini between the 2 winners. |

They did a Bullseye remake maybe 15 years ago, don’t remember the host, but Tony Green was still on it, and as one of the trailers they did a spoof of interviewing a couple that had been on originally and he had half a speedboat cos they’d got divorced! Was a cracking visual gag |

Clearly a traumatizing experience Joe, but did you have to emigrate to get over it? 😎😁 |
