For those young’ uns watching this, that’s how EVERYONE DRESSED in the 1970’s … schoolkids, babies, farmers and milkmen alike. We were dignified back then.
Exactly like Challenge TV used to jokingly introduce Winner Takes All. With sarky remarks about the dodgy overhead projector sometimes rushing the reveal of the potential answers. 🤭🤣
I think Jimmy did that tiebreaker wrong and they just went with what he did. Geoffrey clearly states that they should bet on the question, but that it doesn't count, it just decides who wins, so presumably they weren't meant to place actual stakes or have the question change their scores but Jimmy had them do it anyway.
Given the lower payout that most older game shows from the UK have, I'm sure the producers of the show were told to place as many correct answers at the lower spectrum of odds. Overall, a very enjoyable program.
Due to the prize limits on UK gameshows at that time, the biggest cash prize that could be awarded on a TV quiz show was £1,000 per edition. A few times contestants did score more than £1,000 but were only allowed to take home £1,000. The rules changed in later years so that a returning champion could win up to £1,000 per show and keep accumulating as long as they won - lose and they only got half their winnings. In 1981, redundant sausage cook John Smith won £6620, the highest prize awarded on a British game show at the time. This was broken in 1986, when Michael Dixon's winnings totalled £7455. It remained the record cash prize on British TV for over a decade.
In some cases the players won OVER £1000 but to due IBA broadcasting rules at that time they could only take £1000 as that was the maximum amount that could be awarded on a British quiz show.
Winner Takes All - Ep10 (1976). 0400am. 27.6.23. you'll have to be more specific... as to which Jamie you mean. probably about as insightful as that table cloth.
I love 70s game shows ...just for the fashions.
Brings back a lot of memories. This, the Golden Shot and the Sale Of The Century
I remember this as a kid. It still feels like a school science lesson.
Me too
I like the psychedelic titles with the smiling head.
Probably the trippiest gameshow titles ever!
What a prize £890!, that’s more than winning the jackpot of £43 on Mister and Misses with Derek Batey.
R.I.P. Geoffrey Wheeler.
Beautiful voice.
His voice used to frighten me as a child
Very catchy theme tune.

Best of times ❤️
When TV quizzes actually had real people as contestants as opposed to the modern Stepford types.
Set designer to producer "Yeah i can do it in any colour as long as it's brown"
Or bright orange
6 August 1976
By Jove, that some pre-echo at the start!
Loved this quiz show, wish they made a modern equivalent.
Winner went straight out and bought TWO Austin Allegro’s with his winnings.

Geoffreys voice frightened me as a child
Some very clumsy staging here;who's idea was it to put Tarby in the left corner of the screen in front of some of the odds?
We have the next question please Geoffrey?😂
Was Wendy's middle initial H ?
Where do you find these episodes? My partners dad was on it in the 70s & I’m trying to find the episode for him x
9:46 How ironic that Jimmy was later investigated under Operation Yew Tree!
I'm sure he has a good laugh about that!
@@andymerrett I'm attacking nonces you complete brain dead moron #facepalm

If only Daphne had bet 50 she might of won on the tie breaker question
I bet she's still kicking herself

Wonder who’s faces are in this intro?

There was no money on offer in the earlier part of the show.
Bloody cheapskates!
I noticed that too, what a fix.

Surely the best strategy for this quiz was to simply bet all your money on 10-1 until it came in?

None of this makes any sense... Why doesn't the guy asking the questions present the whole thing. Also, who decides the odds for each question?
He did in later seasons!
"Also, who decides the odds for each question?"
The shows accountant by the looks of it!
