I remember seeing it briefly when I was a kid, but I don't remember much of it except the giant computer and keyboard.


Google seems to reckon it was All Clued Up, ran on ITV between April '88 and August '91.

Thank you :)

I disagree with Wikipedia here, that sort of panel show will not count here.

Not sure if you're taking more nominations from folks now that there's not been so many submitted lately, but if so then...

The Price is Right
Takeover Bid (obscure Bruce Forsyth gameshow, youtube it)
The Hit List
My Kind of Music (Michael Barrymore music gameshow from around 2000 i think)
Virtually Impossible (tacky gameshow from the makers of Knightmare, lasted one season before sinking without trace, youtube it)
Win, Lose, or Draw.
Give us a Clue (with Lionel Blair)

Great show, but I wouldn't class it as a game show.

If Robot Wars and Scrapheap Challenge are not gameshows, I honestly don't know what you would class them as.

A robot combat competition and a British television show.

Robot combat competition isn't a genre of TV show, and neither is British TV show.

Scrapheap Challenge you could make an argument is factual entertainment, but Robot Wars is a tournament with a champion, with a series of bouts and games and contestants. It is a game show. If its not that, you'd probably have to claim it is a sport.

Noticeable by their omission: Wheel Of Fortune, Family Fortunes, Bob's Full House and 3-2-1!

Of course, I realise I may not nominate them, but I strongly suggest they are included.

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.
