    I was in the gallery for this on a trainee vision mixer course. The atmosphere was electric and Bruce wanted to know every single possibility of what could go wrong with the game. The guy who created the show in the USA was on hand all the time.

      @@TheMarkos1982 It seems to me the fluffs were part of the charm, added to the atmosphere and sparkle in the interaction with the audience and contestants, so they left them in. Overzealous editing is what often spoils modern gameshows.

    The very first PYCR. This became one of THE GREAT English game shows. With the King at the helm, it got slick, exciting, compulsive, catch-phrase heavy, suspensful and funny. Brucie's best work, in my view was on Bruce's Price Is Right - until David Liddiment's arrival, the bastard.
    God bless ya' Brucie. You were a bonus

    Bruce, who left BBC in 1978 to come to LWT to show people he was more than just a game show host, had his variety entertainment show bomb in the ratings in autumn 1978, and so he was back full circle come 1980 as a game show host.

    Ohhhhh (with a hum). Whenever they guessed wrong higher or lower and the audience gasped "Ohhhh" in shock/empathy for the contestant, back when watching this all those years ago I remember hearing a hum at the same time. My guess was that they turned up the volume of the audience voices to convey the emotion. In turning it up, the noise floor was audible, an AC hum. What do you folks think?
