I don’t know what went wrong but half my post is missing and You Tube has appeared twice.

There are many more ‘flavours’ to sample. Stuart Hall’s laughter is so infectious I defy anyone not to join in. Only the morose and miserable wouldn’t laugh at the antics.

Take Your Pick originally hosted by Michael Miles and then by Des O’Connor would be my third choice.

Take Your Pick was a simple game show where invited contestants from the audience first had to go through the “yes” “no” interlude. It was here that the host asked the contestant a series of questions for 60 seconds, the answers to which must not contain either the words “yes” or “no”. Nodding or shaking the head was not allowed either. Not as easy as it may seem. Try it with family and friends.

Those who succeeded in not saying “yes” or “no” qualified for the next part of the game where they were asked three simple questions. If they got them right they would get a key to a box of their choice out of the ten shown. One of the boxes held the “star” prize and a couple had a booby prize in them. The other boxes held a decent prize. Michael Miles would offer them money for the key and the contestant could either accept the offer or reject it. If the offer was rejected Michael Miles would offer them more money. Very few people accepted the money and eventually they would be invited to open the box and went away with whatever was in it.
