I enjoyed this TV programme a lot when I was only 8 years old before I turned 9 on 24th July 1993 at the time. Looking back now... I watched this programme with my Mum at the time. #ChildhoodMemories
In the version of this from 2014 and 2015 with Warwick Davis, the bonus game with naming things in a certain subject was retained, but the grand prize was £20,000 for the first series and £25,000 for the second. If the contestant didn't get nine correct, they would get £1,000 for each one they did get right.
I’m here in the Colonies and was born here many decades ago! I’ve seen the father of this program The Hollywood Squares here in the U.S. my favorite! I found it by accident from What’s My Line(U.S.) with panelist Monkhouse who I never heard of.
I think I've seen that episode of US What's My Line where Bob is on the panel. In his native country, he was a legend. Among other shows he did in the UK also included Family Fortunes and Bob's Full House.
Friday nights... 8 years old... home from school, tea, BBC 2 Happy Days...get in the bath/shower...switch to ITV...my mom used to dry my hair after I had had a shower whilst we watched this...Coronation Street...aww Des Barnes is ruining a relationship again...stay up a little to see my Dad after he finished a Friday 1pm-8pm (early friday finish when he was on his 2pm-10pm shift rota)...have a little dish of his curry and rice...bed...read my Rainbow or Twinkle annual then sleep ready for The Raccoons, Rentaghost, Eggs N Baker and Going Live on Saturday morning ...AND BREATHE! P.S. Fuck I had totally forgotten about Andrew O'Connor.. lol! P.P.S. Hehe The Chippendales... I was more of Chip N Dale fan to be honest!
High Chaparral - that was my treat on a Sunday night before the school week started again. Then bed and the torch under the bed cloths for a little late radio on my transistor - Radio Luxembourg if I could tune it in. :)
Many at ITV were surprised at why they bothered to revive this show. Take Your Pick was revived in 1992 by Thames Television (who were on death row with their London franchise due to end on 31st December 1992) so Central must have thought there was cash in reviving old game shows in the early 1990s.
There was, and not just at Central. Remember, LWT was reviving old game shows like Play Your Cards Right as the final provisions of the Broadcasting Act 1990 came into effect finally lifting the cash prize caps that made UK game shows the laughing stock of the Western World, as far as prizes were concerned.
Apart from the greatest supreme Are You Being Served I from the Colonies(U.S.) have never seen a full British program or any such from outside my country!
0:45 - I always thought the production made a mistake in the opening music here. It seems that the music kicks in here, but stops for a few seconds for the announcer and restarts again - a bit messed up
Don't know why it was 20 pounds a correct star or a square & 75 for a win in game 2. It should be either 15 pounds & 75 pounds or 20 & 100 pounds in game 2
0:32 - "queen of the Carry Ons" - sorry, not in my opinion, as Babs only appeared in nine of the 31 Carry On films. The Queen of the Carry Ons had to be the great Hattie Jacques who appeared in 14 Carry Ons.
@@leebeardshall2888 Come on, have a thicker skin. Now Barbara has sadly passed away, of course she was great in the Carry Ons, but Queen of them after only appearing in nine out of 31, Hattie Jacques was Queen of the Carry Ons, Babs was the Princess of the Carry Ons.
Love Celebrity Squares.I really wish they would repeat these.Fantastic to watch ♥️♥️

Good entertainment. Programmes got huge ratings. We need more entertaining programs on tv today.

This was the first episode of the 1990's revival.

Imagine if Rowan Atkinson aka Mr Bean was one of the celebrities, I bet he'd do a quick getaway with the Mini
Roy Walker

The Set Looks Almost Like the 1986-89 JOHN DAVIDSON Set
Wish they choose a key to a car

1993: Celebrity Square (UK)
2020: Celebrity Square (Vietnam)
The Vietnamese version name is:Chon Ai Day
Is this the same Gaynor Thomas who was on The Crystal Maze in Series 6 Episode 4?
Yes that’s her
"Trevor, of the Chippendales"
I'm guessing the Chuckle Brothers had a prior engagement to attend to?
Gotta love Babs
I’m from Aylesbury 😊
Have you got the 15 To 1 Series 15 Grand Final Please
And a lovely man 🙂
12:29 I don't know about a score of 150 on an IQ test, but a score of 180 makes you a genius at darts.😁
More squares please
This is not 1993, as lottery did not start till 1994
Don't know why it was 20 pounds a correct star or a square & 75 for a win in game 2. It should be either 15 pounds & 75 pounds or 20 & 100 pounds in game 2
Maybe the first 2 games should be worth 100 pounds & the future games 200 pounds. then 50 pounds a square if time's up during a game
I didn't know that they can afford a car. I thought the grand prize was a holiday
The second game should be 100 pounds plus 20 pounds a square or however they earn that extra money
30 pounds per square & 150 pounds for getting 3 in a row for game 3
This is certainly one they could bring back that they couldnt mess up lol
they did bring it back with Warwick Davis - and they did mess it up.
They'd mess it up in the US by inviting tik tok stars
@@rebekahneighbors wait! US tried to revive Squares!?
