The podcast where we delve into the weird, wonderful and sometimes truly awful world of game shows. Each episode one of the 4 co-hosts (Bev Dobson, Mark Dobson, Mark Roberts and Matt Warrilow) will put forward a different show to talk about. We'll then cover everything to do with it - theme tunes, hosts, contestants, trivia, controversies - and ultimately, was it actually any good.

Ep. 3 (Part 1) - Blankety Blank ('I Don't Want To Wait', Working At The Job Centre & #BeMoreMelville)

This time the gang get into the blanking classic that is 'Blankety Blank'. But with so much to cover, we've decided to make it a two-parter!

In this first part, we learn a lot about the classic theme tune (and a fair bit on Eurovision too), as well as the holy trinity of hosts that was Sir Terry Wogan, Les Dawson & Lily Savage.

Along the way we also hear about why Dobson dislikes North Wales so much, the surprising show Les Dawson may have starred in and grave diggers doing the 'YMCA'.

This is the episode of 'Blankety Blank' we watched for this show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1pGb5b-ecI

And for those who want to dig a little deeper, we also watched this episode hosted by Les Dawson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM-gJcnJgjY&t=882s) and these two clips from when Lily Savage was the host (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HERQLsfGEe4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvocjD67DVE)
