I hosted Jumble and have very happy memories of working on this show at Anglia TV in Norwich. The crew, producers and guests were a delight to work with and we seemed to do quite well with the ratings. We recorded two series, in all 56 shows. I have a few on VHS tapes and did download some on to youtube on my UKCOMIC channel. Thanks for putting this one on here, means a lot to me to see Barbara Windsor when she was so well and Tom O'Connor. Both wonderful pro's and were both so good to me when I was starting out.
I have to say Jeff that I enjoyed watching Jumble on Anglia TV when I was a kid back in the early 90s (especially during Late July 1992, throughout August 1992 and September 1992). At the end of the day, It's made my childhood. Thank you very much for bringning Jumble on Anglia Television, its 1,984% enjoyable. All the best from Milton Keynes
Oops - looks like the producers forgot to mention that WE wrote all of the music for this show!!! The credits at the end should have read 'Theme and all music by Joe Ortiz and Pauly Ortiz'. Oh well - we got paid - that's what counts ;-)
And even odder, it's based on an American syndicated newspaper puzzle, one that continues to this day (and which I personally find hard to solve; the winning puns I can identify quickly, but the words which the letters for the final answer come from I find nearly impossible sometimes).
He or she won't have any more episodes of this as I have only uploaded 1 episode of this on my old Dailymotion channel where this was lifted from hence the ADC branding all over it, and this is the reason why I do this to my videos now. Also this channel has put adverts on it gaining revenue from RUclips. Which they should of not done as they don't own the video.
"Jumble" actually did a bit better than an unsold pilot back in the States. It was one of a rotating roster of four different "interactive" game shows on a weekday block on USA Network, all hosted by the legendary Wink Martindale. There was also "Trivial Pursuit," "Scrabble," and another one I can't remember. They all used the same small studio set, just with some props and other set elements shifted around. Only "TP" and "Scrabble" survived to another season, while the other two were cancelled after only thirteen episodes.
For the record, Scrabble was not originally produced for USA Network. The show originally aired as part of NBC's daytime lineup. USA only aired reruns. You're getting that mixed up with Boggle. And that show, Jumble, and Trivial Pursuit were on The Family Channel, not USA.

I remember the show back in 1992. Didn't you also appear on Celebrity Squares
I wonder if Anglia still have the programmes in the archives?

@@aaronjameslockwood2437 Thank you Aron, seems like so long ago.

Wow a blast from the past
I enjoyed watching Jumble on Anglia TV when I was 8 at the time during Summer 1992 every weekday morning. #ChidlhoodMemories

I noticed they left it off the credits, it's a good theme!
Do you still have the original music for the show ?

What are the rules and announcer

I didn’t get half of what they were saying

it was on the family channel not usa network

the 4 Interactive games on Family Channel were TP, Boggle, Jumble and SHUFFLE (which was just TP with lists and follow-up questions)
I ate Blue Ribands while watching this :)
