'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' is originally a British programme that has now gone global.
As is "The Weakest Link".
Countdown on the other hand is originally French (and the French version is still going I believe), which is little known to most of its British watchers!

It was developed by Celador who are Dutch company

the funniest Family Fortunes clip is ... "name a bird with a long neck?" the guy answered "Naomi Campbell"
🤣😂🤣
They also had a round where they had to name words beginning with Z - nobody got the last word, as it was XYLOPHONE!
I heard it as "Name a bird with long legs" "Sharon Stone"
I remember a question 'name a dangerous race.'
Expecting answers like the grand national or the tt.
The contestant answered 'the Arabs.'
@@NickSmith-qx7qgget locked up for that now
Susie Dent, the word expert on Countdown, has notched up more game show appearances than anybody on British television, outlasting multiple presenters.
She’s been on it every episode since the start in 1982.
Close, shes been on it 5,000 times over 30 years, but theres actually been about 8,500 episodes. She doesnt appear in every episode.
She actually started in 1992.
Before Suzie Dent, Countdown didn't have a resident lexicographer
does anyone remember the blonde one who did the letters before Carol Vorderman had her killed?
Countdown is on at about 2pm, and is mostly watched by retired people, so that's like someone on American TV saying "Jerkoff" to a bunch of 80 year olds 😂
But there is countdown with cats
The Crystal Maze you had to collect crystals by completing tasks, you then went into the Crystal Dome and had a set time to collect tickets that were blown about by a fan. The more crystals the longer you got
Each one was worth 5 seconds, if memory serves
8 Out Of 10 Cats does Countdown is absolutely hilarious. If you can somehow get it I highly recommend a few episodes. It's Countdown with comedians.
there are full episodes on youtube, they can definitely watch it
The language is a bit blue, though.
RIP Shaun Lock. I went to his funeral.... that was a challenging wank.
seconded. some people watch the original countdown because they wanna win a teapot of their own someday. those same people watch cats does countdown because they know how badly they would actually do on the show. i am some people.
(somebody did try to do a US pilot of regular Countdown in the mid-1990s, regular civilians paired up with celeb team captains-- woody harrilson was one of them --but absolutely no numbers games. there's a lot of reasons why a pilot for a game show doesn't sell, and for US Countdown they tried to shoehorn in a lot of contemporary Typical American Game Show Things into a non-typical game, including a cash jackpot for spotting a nine-letter word and a sixty-second bonus round. that said, i personally am blaming the omission of numbers games for the sole reason why it didn't sell. wink martindale has a copy of it on his youtube channel if anyone wants to see it themselves)
My reply was deleted I think. Obviously by someone who doesn't know Shaun's sense of humour and who need to watch Cats Does Countdown.
Thanks to Michael McIntyre, Bradley Walsh actually got to meet Fanny Schmelar. It was as surreal as it was funny
I watched that, it was brilliant. Love Bradders cracking up.
When that name came up in The Chase, I was laughing so hard, not just to Bradley, but also thinking back to the total hilarious chaos that name caused at the Winter Olympics when she competed.

Richard O'Brien creator of The Crystal Maze, also wrote The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
He is a New Zealander
@@helenbailey8419he has duel citizenship.
He was born in England.
Born in the UK but moved to NZ. There's a statue of him - in Riff-Raff costume from Rocky Horror - in his old home town of Hamilton, New Zealand.

He was born in Cheltenham
“Hoar” is actually a pretty good answer! Though probably add the “Frost” bit on the end to avoid just sounding rude.
There's a type of family feud called Pointless, it's actually the opposite; the contestant has to give a correct answer than no one in the audience has said. It's quite fun!
We used to have a clone of Family Feud but it was called Family Fortunes.
Pointless isn't like family feud/fortunes because its not two teams going against each other, its a selection of pairs.
Les Dennis one of the hosts of Family Fortunes used to say when a nervous contestant came out with some crazy answer 'If (insert crazy answer) is on the board I'll give you the money myself' 🤣
He was caught out at least once when the contestant's ridiculous answer was actually on the board!
@@andybaker2456there is this video with loads of funny moments and bloopers of uk game shows and it comes up atleast twice
@@andybaker2456 Well I guess you never know, so I hope Les paid up.
@@susanashcroft2674 He did.
Since nobody else has explained it yet: The show “Eggheads” is a very standard Team vs Team quiz show, but the special gimmick is that the resident team the contestants go up against, the eponymous’Eggheads’, is made up of people who won other quiz shows, including one of the first Million Pound winners of WWTBAM, and two season winners of 15 to 1
The egghead Kevin has been World Quiz champion several times. His nickname is the "human Google".
What about "The Great egg race" with professor heinz Wolff.?
The show "The Chase" is similar. A team against one quiz expert.
Ah okay! Thanks for explaining :)
@@jamesdignanmusic2765 I want an April Fool edition of the Chase where the chaser comes out and 4 of the eggheads are sitting there.
We have Family Fortunes, but it’s based on Family Feud which came first. Who Wants To Be a Millionaire is a UK creation.
So the correct answer for the frost question is rime, but hoar is not a bad guess. Hoar frost is also a type of frost. Apparently the difference is that rime frost is from water droplets in the air that freeze on surfaces, while hoar frost is water vapour in the air that directly freezes on surfaces.
I was now about to say this! Hoar!
Ah, I already posted that hoar was a pretty good guess, but I couldn't think what the actual answer was. Rime, of course. Thank you. Not a blooper, though!
Maybe he was thinking of the Scottish coastal mist called haar
Learn something new every day😃
@@tamus41 Another good point. I think we can all agree that it wasn't a blooper.
If you want more then '8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown' is the perfect blend of maths, wordgames and side-splitting comedy.
Hoar is a word for frost
The Crystal Maze was such a cool show… There’s a host that guides a team through a series of 4 themed zones, if I remember correctly… In each of the zones the team will take on a few challenge rooms, choosing a teammate and the type of challenge (like physical, mental, mystery or whatever)… The purpose being to collect crystals, which can be converted to time for the final challenge… But crystals can also be used to free teammates who are locked in challenge rooms (if they fail to get out of the room in time or if they trigger an automatic lock-in by failing a specific condition in a certain task)… So there’s a tactical element to how you use them too.
It was a fun, adventure type show… pretty good theme song lol.
There's 'countdown' and '8 out of 10 cats does countdown'. The later being a comedy version of 'countdown' using a combination of some of the regular members of both 'countdown' and a comedy quiz show call '8 out of 10 cats'.
Another good comedy quiz is 'would I lie to you'.
8 out of 10 cats does countdown Is amazing, Sean Lock was one of the best comedians to have done it. Can't really think of a way to describe other than hot tarmac and a vets flannel. Gone way too soon.
It's the Comedy Panel show version of countdown.
RIP Sean.
Guy was too funny
Please do Cats Does Countdown! It's hilarious!😅
@@wolverine9787 "That's a challenging Wank" 🤣
One of my fave ever, spur of the moment, off the cuff comments.
So good
@@wolverine9787 WHAT? How did I not know he passed away? I'm outside the UK so I only watch these shows on YT.
That's really sad to hear.
Guy reacting to would I lie to you would do well on your channel. It's very funny and entertaining and there's lots of it.
Check out Richard Osman’s House of Games. It’s so much fun!
The Chase bloopers are some of the funniest gameshow bloopers ever, Bradley Walsh (the host) his laugh is contagious and he doesn't stop laughing. He is a comedian/actor.
‘Hoar’ was right though.
Rime fits the second clue better than hoar. He said something about poet then stopped asking the question.
It wasn't right but it wasn't as bad an answer as they made out. Hoar frost is a thing but the correct answer was rime frost and the second part of the question (before it got cut off) mentioned poetry, no doubt in reference to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge.
You can tell the guy who buzzed realises his mistake after hearing Paxman end on the word 'poet'.
My favourite quizzes are on Radio 4. Just a Minute has been going since 1967! They tried it on TV once, but it works better on radio.
'Who wants to be a millionaire?' was originally British.
Along with the Weakest Link...
One of the most hilarious outtakes was From Family Fortunes. When an Irish Contestant was Asked to Name a dangerous Race .he Amswerd. Arabs .The whole studio fell about Laughing. Think they meant The Grand National or FI .
He wasn't wrong though.....😂
@tamielizabethallaway2413 Ha Ha Ha yes 😄 😆.
The problem with the word "wanker", especially on mid-afternoon TV, is not so much that it's an insult, but rather what the word literally means.
I used to like watching game shows, there are many more over the years which are not featured on this list which include Blockbusters, The generation game, Blankety blank, Give us a clue, It's a knock out, & more recent, the cube and Pointless, etc. The funniest still for me is Bradley Walsh with Fanny Chmelar 🤣 another was on family fortunes and the question was name a type of ache the person answered face ache 🤣 which is slang for a miserable ugly person 🤣
Family Feud was first in the US but Who wants to be a millionaire is British.
Bradley met her quite recently and discovered that ITV had spelled her name wrong, it's Schemaller. He apologised but she said that no offence had been taken when she saw the English version, TV programmes are dubbed into German there.
@@tonys1636 I saw that and it was brilliant. It was on the Michael McIntyre show and they hijacked Bradley in his bedroom in the middle of the night and brought Fanny in to introduce them to eachother. The embarrassment from Bradley was hilarious as he's just laying there in bed it was a little surreal.
My late husband used to LOVE countdown and watched it religously. It consists of word rounds were you have to make the longest words using only the letters available, so the longest is a nine letter word which earns you double points, 18. the numbers are selected by the contestants and normally inc one large number 25,50,75 or 100 and 5 other small ones. Though they can choose any variety. As Lindsay guessed you then have to acheive the random top number useing any combination of those numbers, but only use the numbers once. If you want to watch a game show its a great one as there is no huge prize just the bragging rights of being the series champion.
There was a show in the 80s called blockbusters, consisting of a board with letters on. The player had to pick a letter and make a path across the board. One guy said he wanted "O". The gamemaster, a man called Bob Holness asked "Which O is another name for a multi celled lifeform? The guy replied loadly...ORGASM Bob" 😂😂😂😂😂
Can I have a P please Bob?
When they brought it back in 2012, I went to a live taping. Nothing as good as this happened, but I remember the guy was one clue away from getting the blockbuster, and the question was, "Which RW was the reason for the extra bank holiday last year?" He didn't get it, and practically everyone in the audience started whispering "Royal Wedding" to their friends.
Apparently, we were so loud that everyone on-stage heard us... except the guy answering 🤦🏾♀️ afterwards, the host made a joke about how he could practically hear people screaming the answer through the TV, and during the break, the entire audience got told off 😅
The University Challenge contestant meant hoar frost as it fitted the description
Oh okay! This is why context matters 😂
That mouse maze was just one of the tasks in the show there are many more, you would need a video all about The Crystal Maze to see what the show is about.
I used to prefer The Adventure Game to the Crystal Maze 😊
@@kp7032 I remember that with the floor they had to cross and the plant that was an alien.
Scrolled a long time to find this!!! LOVED the adventure game! Uncle aspidistra 😂 and the terrifying VORTEX 😬 😄🧡
crystal maze i used to watch when i was a child and used to be my favorite. basically you have to get the crystal to give you 5 seconds of time in the giant crystal shaped dome at the end and you & your team collect gold and silver tickets & u post them into a box and the more gold you get the better how ever the silver tickets of set the gold so for every silver u get u loose one gold. u need a certain amount of gold to get the win
Because I'm old I remember Take Your Pick and Double Your Money. 😂😂
Open the box!
I remember the golden shot
@@orwellboy1958 remember Bob Danvers Walker with the gong during the yes/no bit ?🤣🤣🤣
Because I'm even older, I remember Take Your Pick and Double Your Money on Radio Luxembourg. I also remember "Have a Go Joe" on the BBC radio with Wilfred Pickles - "Give 'em the money Mable".
@@nowhere982 Bob was the off screen announcer. The man with the gong was Alec Dane
The Crystal Maze was brilliant
Miss that show
@@CAL_IN_THESE_COMMENTS it wasn't the same after Richard O'Brian left tho'
And all the first 6 seasons are on UA-cam 😊
@@katiperry8533 I agree. Richard O'Brian made that show.
It has a cult following still
Bradley Walsh has now met Fanny Schmelar on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show. That’s a hilarious clip to watch.
I was at the recording of that show and Bradley kept thanking Michael as he had the “best time of his life”
Saw that. Was hilarious as they woke him up in middle of the night when she came on his bedroom. Lol. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not really
Look at a full episode of 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown, hilarious
Epically the "carrot in a box" clip.
The Chase is my favourite, Bradley Walsh is a great presenter
Nevermind the buzzcocks, and 9 out of 10 cats, and the classic show blankety blank.
Countdown was the first programme to be broadcast on our fourth terrestrial TV channel (Channel 4) in November 1982. It's still going to this day. '8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown' is a humerous, adult version of the programme shown post-watershed (i.e., after 9pm)!
Great show
If you want to see something particularly funny, have look at 'Carrot in a Box' from '8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown'. Sean Lock against Jon Richardson.
@@nicholascarrington4202master class from Sean.
Carrot in a box = comedy gold.
We can't take credit in the UK for Countdown - it was originally a French gameshow - "Des chiffres et des lettres". There was apparently a pilot of Countdown in the US but it was binned because the (US) producers thought it was "too brainy" for an American audience - even after they left the numbers section out. Which I think is harsh considering US TV gave us Sheldon Cooper and UK TV gave us Mr Blobby.
Long-time Countdown host Richard Whiteley was also the mayor of a village called Wetwang
Qi is a great show (it's "Quite Interesting" with all the fun educational facts).
We have a lot of game shows that are more about just being on the show and being funny than winning points. Another being 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown, and Would I lie to you.
Another great one that is completely different but still runs on points is Taskmaster (celebrities compete to tackle random challenges).
Great Funny British Game Shows are, Would I Lie To You (WILTY), 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, The Big Fat Quiz (Lots of Years).
You need to go down the rabbit hole of Would I Lie to You - especially the Bob Mortimer (national treasure) clips - totally hillarious
I love that show. Bob is hysterical!
Crystal Maze was a classic 80's/90's TV show where you have various mini games to retrieve a crystal. Some were physical demanding, some were mentally challenging. The Arena was split into 4 areas, a spaced themed one, Aztec and two others i cant remember. If you failed to exit your mini game in time, you could be bought out with won crystals. So you either leave on time, with or without the crystal or get locked in, when you lost the crystal regardless of if you had retrieved it or not. The goal of winning crystals was to give you more time in the final area, where you stood in a massive fan that blew Silver and Gold tickets around you. The goal was to bank enough Gold ones to win the cash prize, any silver ones bank would be deducted from your Gold total.
Another funniest Family Fortunes answer is ... "name something a blind man would use ?"
Answer - A SWORD !
And yeah - "name a bird with a long neck?" the guy answered "Naomi Campbell"
Who Wants to be a Millionaire is British. One of the people who developed it was comedian Jasper Carrot.
The Chase is also British which has gone global. I think Mark Labbet (The Beast) does the US version as well.
Anne Hegerty (The Governess) does the Aussie version as well as the UK.
Many game show formats have crossed the Atlantic in both directions.
Almost all of the ones you see in the US are ones that started in the UK.
Picking up on 2 of your comments during the video... Countdown is totally different to Wheel of Fortune. In Countdown you have to select 9 letters and make the longest word you can (you get 18 points for a 9 letter word). Then there are numbers rounds too. And University Challenge is nothing like Jeopardy. It's the British version of the old US quiz College Bowl where 2 teams of 4 people from different Universities compete to answer questions to accumulate the highest score and progress to the next round... ending with the top 2 teams battling it out in the final.
As someone else said on here, try watching QI and Richard Osman's House of Games... They're really good
Would I Lie To You? Is great.
Family Feud was invented first in the US in 1976. It was brought to the UK in 1980 but we named our version Family Fortunes because it was thought that “feud” sounds too confrontational and we wanted something more friendly sounding.
The name wasn't the only thing that changed, the rules were changed as well

letters and numbers (countdown) was created in france@@proudofyourroots9575

the first clip with the word wanker. you have to bare in mind there is whats called the watershed on british tv, no rude or swear words before 9 pm
Countdown is definitely a child-friendly show, shown in the afternoon and popular with students.
That's why the first time it came up, it didn't make it to broadcast ... they were all just about keeping a straight face until Gino Corr also announced the same word. ua-cam.com/video/7gBXPUSXGWs/v-deo.html
The Coundown clock sound ( the music it plays as it counts down ) is actually one of the top pieces of music played at funerals in the 🇬🇧. We are a funny lot of people 😄. One of tge other most popular is Monty Pythons always look on the bright side of life song from The Life of Brian.
There is a tv channel in the UK called "challenge," which just plays 24/7 game shows back to back.
Blockbusters with Bob Holness and Bullseye with Jim Bowen are on there.
Who remembers "Goldenballs" hosted by Brummie comedian Jasper Carrott?😊
Carrott really didn't need to work at that point either as he'd made a fortune off of his production company being responsible for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
I’m glad you’ve now got The 1% Club, that’s a favourite one right now
I would like to see you compete against each other playing along with countdown.
the Crystal Maze is a team game. the idea of the game is to collect crystals from different rooms, to get 5 seconds in the Crystal Maze at the end for each crystal retrieved. there are 4 time zones that you go through ... Aztec zone, Medieval, Futuristic zone and Industrial Zone (the later series had other zones, Ocean zone and Eastern zone). there was a choice of 4 types games that you could play in each zone. they had Mental, Mystery, Physical and Skill. after doing all the zones, they would go to the Crystal Maze. which was a dome with fans blowing around tickets. the more tickets you could catch in your allotted time decided what your prize would be. the more tickets, the better prize. you guys should watch an episode on YT.
It was like a multiple escape room challenge x
Seem to recall there were gold and silver tickets, gold added to the total score and Silver removed from the total.
@@scorp77snake Yes and it was rare they got more gold than silver. The prizes were a bit 'meh'.....like a day rock climbing etc
Also you could use your crystal to buy players back if they got trapped
Still remember that legendary team that all got locked in and Richard is outside the last guy 'Would you like me to use your only Crystal to buy you out?' 🤣
This was great fun to watch.
Crystal Maze was a great show. Every room was a different puzzle with a different theme, some were physical challenges, some were logical puzzles etc and the teams had to pick a teammate to do each one and get the crystals from the rooms.
Putting in a vote for Crystal Maze! Do read the instructions beforehand though.
Richard O'Brien was an absolute gas , with Ed Tudor-Pole as my second favourite presenter (In the full knowledge that there will be 'opinions' on that 🤣)
Richard O'Brian (later Ed Tudor-Pole) gives a monologue at the start of each show that sums up the objective.
It's deliciously lore-driven and the sheer visual and game variety is genius.
You should checkout "8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown"
You should see some highlights of 8 out of 10 cats does countdown.
Countdown was the first program shown on the fourth domestic TV channel shown in the U.K. known as Channel Four, first aired in 1982. hosted by the legend that is Richard Whiteley. It has aired over 8,200 episodes.
Countdown is for clever people. Rachel Riley went to the same school as my niece. My niece is a super clever, just finishing a masters in English at St Andrews ( full of Americans, ) her girlfriend is American. I digress. Countdown is awesome. Xxx love you two. Thanks for reaching across the pond and enticing us. Enticed me, I’m in. More please. 🙏
A must watch guys is ‘would I lie to you’ A classic British comedy game show at its best! 🤗
Who Wants to be a Millionaire is originally British (1998) - the very first American episode (1999) actually showed clips of the UK version in its opening. Since exported to over 100 countries of course.
There are some great blooper video's just of The Chase, I've spent hours laughing at them :)
The UK version of Family Feud is called "Turkey"... 😁
University challenge is a quiz based knockout competition played between teams of students representing U.K. universities , the questions are usually of a high level of difficulty, including classic literature, the sciences, history, algebra, music and languages etc.
We also have a high brow quiz show called Only Connect based on solving a variety of riddles and conundrums
University Challenge was derived from the US show College Bowl
Fun fact for ya both the short guy Warwick Davis was an ewok in the movie store wars return of the Jedi
Brilliant Watch! Well Done.
If you want to do countdown I recommend '8 out of 10 cats does countdown'. It's very funny and retains the original format.
The concept of 'Countdown' is pretty easy to grasp and it's good TV. But there's a much more entertaining version called, '8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown'. I'd love to see your reaction to both those shows.
Pointless is quite good - it's like the opposite of family feud. You have to try to get the least common correct answer (or one that nobody got in the survey). Personally, I feel like it's a more sophisticated idea.
I'm so glad that Catch Phrase was in there twice, and that last one was the 'Snake Charmer' bit. :D I loved that show as a kid.
Roy Walker’s Catchphrase was the best
It's not called "Family Feud" because there is no hostility between the families. Everyone is polite and wishes the other family well, clapping and cheering for their answers when they get it right. It's not like someone's going to shout "You're going down!" or laugh/cheer when they get it wrong. Calling it "feud" wouldn't really make sense.
Check out compilations of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown clips. Absolutely hilarious. Rachel Riley and Susie Dent who you saw in the Countdown clips are on the show in the same roles.
Adding to the list! :)
Especially "Carrot in a Box" and Sean Lock's observation of Rachael Riley's skiing outfit.
Thank you for the laughs this Sunday ❤❤❤❤
Hope you had a great weekend, Sarah :)
@@reactingtomyroots YES 100% MY KIDS❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awew you should react to Crystal maze! The old ones are the best! Soo cheesy it's brilliant! And bullseye! Bullseye is a brilliant bit of 70's TV and some very strange but brilliant contestants
Family Feud is Family Fortunes in the UK. The basic game show format is the same
I love Only Connect
The concept is quite easy .. and there are 4 rounds
You are shown 4 things, one at a time, and you have to say what connects them
You are shown 3 things , one at a time, and you have to say what the 4th thing is.
You are shown a board with 16 words on it, and you have to put them into groups of 4.
You are shown words or phrases with the vowels missing and you have to say what they are.
Sounds easy .. but it's probably the hardest quiz on TV
Dan on the Tenable clip (uranus) is my mate! I never knew he was on the show! He's a really good guy.
Countdown began in 1982 and has been going every Monday to friday since
It's a 9 letter Scrabble and maths quiz
Family fortunes was invented by a famous comic bob monkhouse , the presenter of crystal maze wrote the rocky horror show, Warwick Davis on tenable played a ewock in all the star wars films. 😊
Bob Monkhouse!!!! All time greatest old school entertainer! You're thinking of Celebrity squares though no?
8 out of 10 cats does countdown is amazing.
countdown is an old, traditional gameshow. 8 out of 10 cats is a comedy show. and 8 out of 10 cats does countdown is the comedians doing thr gameshow from Countdown. amazing.
I'd recommend you look at 'Pointless'. It's sort of the inverse of Family Fortunes/Feud in that you have to not only get a correct answer, but one that is obscure. E.g. name a country that has 3 As in it's name. Canada and Australia would be very poor answers, but Kazakhstan or Antigua & Barbuda would be excellent.
So funny 😂love you two,
I love your channel. You're such a lovely couple and you make me laugh 😊😅
Thank you! Appreciate you hanging out with us :)
Check out “Would I lie To you,” especially the episodes with Bob Mortimer! You shall die laughing! 🤪🤪🤪
I love watching Countdown in the mornings while having my cuppa before work. I'm not too good at it , especially the maths!! but I did get a 9 letter word recently ⭐😂

Great video
Countdown is good, but there's an even better version of it called 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, which is where comedians take over the Countdown studio. It's pretty unhinged but so much fun.
You don't know about 8 ut of 10 cats does countdown? Its the fusion of a comedy panel show and countdown, its all over the internet you guys are gonna love it....
We love our Quizzes! They range from simple to extremely difficult and appear on various TV Channels. Many are now 'daytime repeats' but some are still going strong.
Great video , you guys 😂 there are lots of content like this ,that the uk has dished out during the years.
Tons of iconic moments.
For Steve , check out Big Break .. a snooker based tv show.
Actually, the youngster who said "hoar" was not so terribly wrong. A frosty morning used to be called "a hoary day" because it was usually grey skies. The word is archaic and meant grey or white haired, as in " A hoary old gentleman". LOL.
Not just that, but hoar frost is a specific type of frost.
a hoar frost is like frozen dew
I would have guessed "Hoar" :(

University challenge is the top smartest tv quiz show ever! you might as well film doctors lecturing in university to even get close to the level of intelligence this show provides. very proud of it's history also, as it has been going for 62 years ever since 1962
Its based on a US radio show from 1953 called College Bowl which is still running, they have also produced about 5 TV seasons over the years.
that was sooo funny to watch 😂😂😂😂😁😁😀😀👍🏻
