- In 1994, Sky One created a new series with original host, Bob Holness. It was produced by Central, which had made the programme since 1983, and sponsored by Thomas Cook. Sky One brought the series back again in 2000, this time produced by Grundy (which owned the format) and presented by Liza Tarbuck, but it failed to capture the same degree of popularity as the Holness incarnation. The format stayed the same in both versions.

R.I.P Bob holness
It’s good to see that Central were allowed the production credit for Blockbusters on Sky One. Bob Warman’s Price is Right in 1989 was clearly produced by Central but it was credited to Talbot Television instead.

“Can I have an F please bob?”
“Yes but I don’t have time to give it to you.”
It’s the silly joke that never gets old..
The £5 bonus question was an interesting additional element for this series. I don't understand why that feature wasn't adopted for the Michael Aspel, Liza Tarbuck or Simon Mayo eras. Also, for any those versions the prize money won could of at least been increased a little, such as £10 for each correct answer in the main game and £25 for each correct answer after an incomplete Gold Run.
2nd fave Quiz show after 15 to 1
@gazriley624 i do like 15 to 1 but blockbusters is my favourite
It's sooooo odd to figure these late-teens in 1994 are now close to 50 years old in 2023.
Saga holiday time now 😫☹️
Kelly looks like a young Rose Leslie.
Aired two days after I turned 12
Do you have anymore Blockbusters episodes from Series 10 & 11?
Actually this is the sky one’s version of the show because of the intro music also the show ended on itv a few months prior (maybe 1995?) and plus I’ve just noticed that the central end card doesn’t have “for itv” underneath “a central production” edit: I’ve just realised it was 1994 when it ended on itv and I’ve read the description
Is that the hand jive I can hear at 0:08 in the intro?
Yes. They get them to do that in the audience for some reason.
It is same as references like star to Greece and nepit to grecece and alter to channel in Greece and alpha to channel in Greece did
Didn't they used to do a weird dance at the end of the episodes?
That contestant Jenny Wood was a very attractive girl there

Funky music, I sort of prefer this
James Fisher This version of the theme is taken from 1994 when the show switched to Sky One after many ITV regions dropped it. It was still shown in the Anglia, Central, Tyne Tees, Yorkshire and Border regions though.
Yep, bit of bass-slapping going on there. Not unusual in the early-mid-'90s (see also: Gladiators)
That sounds like the sky one version
It is. When Blockbusters was dropped from the ITV Network, Sky decided to recommission the show for one season. Oroduced by Central, it aired on Sky One, as well as these select ITV channels: Anglia, Carlton, Tyne Tees, Yorkshire and Border.
