10:11 - he has still got the *EXACT* same actions, the nodding and the wave, he has not changed, and I think this is a sure sign of a genuine individual. *_Paul, Liverpool UK_*
+Harlan Krissoff The UK version started in 1971 in the ITV Anglia region (it serves the South-East corner of Britain) then over the next 4 years it spread to the other ITV regions. In 1983 the show was cancelled after viewer ratings dropped and it was beginning to look dated with it's cheap set and crappy prizes compared to modern shows of the 1980's like Play Your Cards Right (US Card Sharks) It was revived in 1989 on the new satellite channel Sky One (the version in this video) which ran until 1992. It was revived again in 1997 by satellite channel Challenge TV for one series hosted by Keith Chegwin.
Spot on. I think the whole set-up is questionable. The dialogue is contrived, the audience shouts sound like a bunch of Big Breakfast extras and it just doesn't ring true. And now Simon Cowell rules the world. Who needs Galileo and Einstein when you can have him and One Direction....?
+allstarscope check out the prizes on blankety blank one day.....then we'll talk about awful. problem is for many years UK game shows were under strict prize limits from the independent broadcasting authority ergo, awful prizes.
You sir just won urself a weeks trip to Syria enjoy! (shows the guy like showing pictures of destroyed buildings and stuff and the crowd goes wooooohhhh!!!)
Just goes to show that fame and fortune don't make you happy. He smiled far more about winning a few quid than he would now about winning a few million. There's a lesson there, and it wiuld be a good idea if Simon learned it, and gave me his money.
Simon has the same personallity as when he was really young. Smart but not always very nice. He has always thought well of himself because he was smarter and better looking than 95% of humans. I hope he doesn't have a big fall because the mighty often do.
Notice how the voice says the Uno is outstandingly reliable - showing us all that advertising attacks negaqtive perceptions about a product, true or not. Fix It Again Tomorrow.
This was back in the bad old days when there were strict prize limits on game shows. EDIT: This version of the programme was also exclusively shown on a satellite channel, so was likely watched by very few people at the time.
I guess we will never know if Simon actually got to win that base model Fiat Uno. Mind you having owned one, i don't think he'd have the patience needed for it's rubbery gearchange...
These prizes suck compared to the American version. They were giving away cars that cost $35,000 or more (in 1985). The car on this show was just sad. It was only one step above a Yugo.
He turned down £585 and now has $585 million!
+Aled Long His talent is making music. He's part of the music industry. He sold a lot of records.
+Simon Cowell agreed, he's sold over 300 million records.
NotWanted he’s not a singer he’s a producer with his own record label
MAT T Yep it’s sure how funny how life can pan out... 😱😱😱
Probably the same in usd.
Never seen Simon this happy!
I know he’s known for being moody/harsh but his smile is soooo infectious and he looks so happy the full way through this
I'm assuming that Simon thought this was a good way to be 'seen?' Can't blame him really. All part of the plan...
Host, "You're a single gentleman"
SC, "ABSOLUTELY!!"
😁😁

WHAT IS THIS. HE IS THE CONTESTANT
I enjoyed the US version of the show. Did not know they ha a British Version. Thanks for uploading it.

There is also a German version and Australian version of said game show.
Nicholas Parsons was the host on the british version, ......from Norwich, it's the quiz of the week lol
He is attractive lol! I found him attractive when he first appeared in his Xfactor show in the UK.
Here from WIRED!
Simon was very good looking back then.
Still looking great
All that's changed is his hair/voice
and still is
I love his smile
Just goes to show he's always been a smarmy toff LOL
Price aint 💩. Simon killing it as always 😁
Simon could have made a very good James Bond.
LMFAO
you'd have to rewrite miss moneypenny as mr moneypenis.
James bond was popular though…
I agree 🥰
I'm here because of tipping point.
I thought it was just me!
+Charlie Dislikes Wasps Omg yes.
Tittle
Lol, so am I.... watching a repeat 2 years later
@Gary Garratt watching it now! Lol
he was and still is very handsome
oh yea?
Handsome then and still handsome now!! I think Simon has gotten better looking with age!!
Here he is sexc ruclips.net/video/n7rjEEk7q9M/видео.html
simon is the man.
This version of Sale Of The Century was repeated on UK Gold back in 1996.
7:05
ooh that smile
I'm pretty sure they raided yard sales for these prizes...
Hahaha! xd
Which century was that?.................lol
Hahahaha nice one!!!
+Jackie Ramage the 20th
16th i guess haha
Jackie Ramage
That is an old ass show from the 1980s
The 80s was a different time.
I love Simon haha
this is so fucking intense!
😲😯
he's so dashing!
😘😘😘😘😘😘right what a dashing boy he is ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Simon Cowell 'I want that!'... when staring lovingly at a twonk in a tartan hat beneath him. O_O
Simon very much being Hugh Grant.
"Your hosting is DREADFUL."
Who else came here for simon 2019
He's smart!
Nice the young Simon Cowell before America Got Talent Fame.
Angelo Portal - you mean American Idol?
@@erianisdeleon4952 he was the judge on BOTH of those shows!
10:20 'Wave please, Simon.'
The players' buzzers sounded like the ones from the US version.
You could see his disappointment in the prizes
he's already loaded lol
just needed to be seen on tv
Young looking and handsome way ,before he became famous on American idol.
Spot on. I think the whole set-up is questionable. The dialogue is contrived, the audience shouts sound like a bunch of Big Breakfast extras and it just doesn't ring true.
And now Simon Cowell rules the world.
Who needs Galileo and Einstein when you can have him and One Direction....?
That is some sized microphone, I thought he was going to wack him over the head with it 😂 7:20
how do you find this
Simon is an attractive man now but gorgeous in his younger days! Enjoyed seeing him at this age - which is probably in his early thirties?
Never knew the UK had SOTC too
O those kitchen utensils. Priceless
Simon fucking look like Ian harding when he was younger icant omfg
Haha. Just what I always wanted an Atlas of the World!!???
These are the worst prizes I may have ever seen on any game show....
Trent Havron was a different era

You have to go a long way to beat Bullseye prizes.
Qué hermoso que era y que es!
Nice looking guy
lmaooooooo this is like a fever dream
Can we see to 2nd one plz
Simon is a very handsome man
find it interesting he shakes his had no but says fantastic lol
‘Record company director’
Sounds ominous 😆
Wow! Charming..natural...with a British accent too...what happened? Brain transplant???
The Americans got to him...G-d he was lovely!
Sandra
i think he's acting in here
No. I think he acts now..was natural before they go to him...once they `discover` you they never leave you alone...
Fame and Money is what happened.
No no...something infinitely more foul...
He aged well
did you hear him say' and good luck to me too'' just like simon !
These prizes suck balls!
+allstarscope That's typical for most British game shows. The American version of this show had better prizes.
Congrats u won a tin opener....
+allstarscope check out the prizes on blankety blank one day.....then we'll talk about awful. problem is for many years UK game shows were under strict prize limits from the independent broadcasting authority ergo, awful prizes.
You sir just won urself a weeks trip to Syria enjoy! (shows the guy like showing pictures of destroyed buildings and stuff and the crowd goes wooooohhhh!!!)
+gameshowfreak2007 Thank goodness for John Major
What year is this?
wow simon has a buttoned shirt! xD btw he was cute back then and he wasn't partsing his hair down the middle (LOL)
Just goes to show that fame and fortune don't make you happy. He smiled far more about winning a few quid than he would now about winning a few million. There's a lesson there, and it wiuld be a good idea if Simon learned it, and gave me his money.
For the ladies in Simon's life. Fucking hell. That's a laugh. They obviously didn't know back then.
I think I'm in love.
He is very handsome, but my brother, who often is compared to him, is so much better looking! I like Simon's personality better thou!
... of course , you would say that .
1.36 he's reading?
So how did the self-regarding prat go?
Compare this to Jeopardy. THis Sale of the Century asks questions a child could answer.
Have you watched a recent British quiz show ? Even worse now.
These are some of the easiest questions I've ever heard. I wonder if Barbara just wasn't fast with the buzzing in.
actually I have not changed a bit.LOL. of course I have, I was 12 or 13 back then.
Simon has the same personallity as when he was really young. Smart but not always very nice. He has always thought well of himself because he was smarter and better looking than 95% of humans. I hope he doesn't have a big fall because the mighty often do.
what year was that?
1992
simon cowell was gorgeous back then.. just saying!
Notice how the voice says the Uno is outstandingly reliable - showing us all that advertising attacks negaqtive perceptions about a product, true or not. Fix It Again Tomorrow.
that money is loose change
he needed to be seen on tv lol
fair play to simon he reminds of that kit kat ad you can't sing you can't play you look awful you'll go a long way.
At least he's got his dignity...
this program is horrible.. but I'm still watching.
Once a W***er always a W***er.
+Kani Fuker Winner!!
*****
Remember that sound on Family Fortunes when you got the answer wrong ;).
haha! sorry i like him he reminds me of my dad
Bless, enjoy your weekend there young lady ;).
+Kani Fuker A wanker loves self-censorship
How was dressed as a dog for that song wonder dog b4 this lol that was in 1982 this looks like early 90s
This is from when 1970s or 80s? ?I REMEMBER FIAT UNO WAS INTRODUCED IN INDIA SOMWERE IN 1994-96.
+S farhanz 1990.
This show looks like it was on public assistance, the American version is MUCH BETTER.
This was back in the bad old days when there were strict prize limits on game shows.
EDIT: This version of the programme was also exclusively shown on a satellite channel, so was likely watched by very few people at the time.
This was during the recession just after the Gulf War.
What did he come back to win?
He looks like high grant
I guess we will never know if Simon actually got to win that base model Fiat Uno. Mind you having owned one, i don't think he'd have the patience needed for it's rubbery gearchange...
Simon needs to revive sale of the century in a proper way.
No no no he’d ruin it
@@Havanacuba1985 make it like the 1983-89 version with the jackpot that starts at one million dollars and increase it $500,000.
It ain’t The Sale of The Century without Nicholas Parsons , this chaps not bad though I guess But NP was superb
wasn't Simon dashing back then so british sexy, i must agree.
He'd got the vibe of JFK Jr.
Strange that he didn't get in on the question on money.
He look like a young mel gibson
I always wanted to own a world Atlas..... but then yet I was 8
These prizes suck compared to the American version. They were giving away cars that cost $35,000 or more (in 1985). The car on this show was just sad. It was only one step above a Yugo.
What, I mean WHAT!😯
Where are you, Old Game Show Host Jim Perry? I don't want to play along with them on Sale Of The Century.
Resting In Peace
love
he looks totally different there
simon looks like the bad guy from any given romantic comedy.
LOL! How much did he win when he came back?
What on earth is that golf bag all about? And for that price?
Simon's teeth aren't the same now but he still looks about the same
NO Nicholas Parsons :(
why would a record executive play sale of the century
