Luck you Neil! Would love to hear about how you got on and what was involved 'behind the scenes'? How did the board work? And l heard the show took really long to record!
some shows are too good to reboot and others I feel never got the chance ot shine. This was one I feel never got the chance to shinie and DESERVES a reboot.
I remember an episode where the clues were, nurse, doctor, teacher, police constable, cab driver, Henry the 8th, Dick Turpin, Cleopatra, and "some people going camping". Neither contestant ever got the answer.
Theme music is brilliant- love it! Great to listen to 😀
I absolutely loved watching Connection. 5.15 everyday on itv. I went to see This being recorded at Granada TV in Manchester in 1986.
Manchester was mostly English people back then - before it became the third world.

I was on this in 1987/88!! If you find that you're a star!

Shouldn't be too hard to find... "And this week, our challenger is Mouldrz!"
I loved the catchy theme music to the show and the opening titles were cool 80s technicolour
I used to always look forward to watching Connections, mainly for Sue Robbie! I forgot, how much of an attractive woman she was back then!
Yes, they don't make TV like this nowadays. BBC's First Class hosted by Debbie Greenwood was also around this time.
She was always on the telly in the 80s on itv and mainly on Granada
I felt sorry for those poor devils who had to play Daniel. He was so fast on the buzzer.
Sue Robbie 💖💖💖💖💖💖🌹
Love the theme tune
wow Sue Robbie is 73 now!
Used to watch this back in the day when it was on in the Blockbusters slot.
Watched way back in 1986

i remember watching this...
The HOST gave me a SPECIAL FEELING
i KNOW WHAT I WOULD GIVE HER NOW
This was miles better than Blockbusters. Although watching it now, I'd forgotten how few of the rounds were actually to do with connections.
Wouldn't go as far as to say it was better than Blockbusters, but Connections was a good series
And the voice of Granada continuity announcer Charles Foster :o)
Daniel is not going to be happy when he watches this.
I want root perms and back-combing to make a comeback.
Sue is lovely did that ask pop questions I'm sure they did great show cheers for this
12:03 - I guess this is a VHS copy of the master tape. That pause went on for so long they switched the board projectos off.
amazing prizes

That Daniel is handsome
Daniel is so Punk you won’t believe.
How did Daniel get that after only two clues?! Amazing
when will challenge tv finally buy the rights
next year
This was later hosted by Richard Madeley & then Simon Potter.
Allen Jeremy I remember that, I can't remember Simon Potter though
@@muhammadalieesaa3379 Simon hosted the last 2 series.
Would not mind seeing this on challenge if they can trim back episodes of the chase as they air too far too many episodes
I remember Angela Ripon hosting a quiz show called connections on bbc
she did masterteam
Where is Sue Robbie now please tell me now if anyone please let me thank you
Playing against Daniel was likely like trying to beat James Holzhauer or Ken Jennings to the buzzer.
It was general knowledge she asked who sang rise which is public image ltd
I wonder if Daniel became a bus driver?
Better than that, Director of Law and Governance at Newham and Havering Councils.
Connections is 1,984% a simple and 1,984% Good ITV Gameshow than The Chase.
Whatever happened to Sue Robbie?
At 70, porn maybe ?
She was sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes against fashion.
Was this in the UK?
It was a UK programme, it ran from 1985 until 1990.
What a strange question? It's obvious that it's in the UK
I was born in the UK.
@@danielwilliamson6180
Fascinating thank you
@@bedfordcrusader Thank you. I live in New Zealand now.
Daniel is such a “know it all” 😡😡
He's like Billy Bleach.
Is there a US version or variation of this.
Who is the presenter?
She's fit as fuck that's for sure
Sue Robbie (She was one of the Children's ITV presenters back in the 1980s).
This is a bad 80s version of Only Connect
I thought the contestant on the right at the beginning was a lezza
