Competing in this episode, the couples are Trish & Marcus Whittington from Devon, George & Debbie Fleming from Fife, Jeannie & Dean Boyce from Wiltshire & Hampshire, and Phil Blyte & Nicky Colborn from Avon. Bruce Forsythe compares and Rosemary Ford assists, but one contestant has a surprise in store for them. The teams compete in such games as "That's Skat" (singing with Cleo Lane), "Not Again!" (the Potter's Wheel), "Duvet or Not Duvet" (racing to put on a duvet - I'm not making this up here), and "Country Dancing" (not Opry, but match the music to the country via mime). The finale sees a Robin Hood spoof that is great fun, with guest appearances by singer Joe Brown and Geoff Capes, while Page 3 girl Linda Lusardi has to judge who goes through to the conveyor belt of prizes. It's not easy...

00:00Life is the name of the game, and I want to play the game with you.
00:21Life can be terribly great if you don't play the game with two.
00:22And I want to play the game with you.
00:24Oh, yes! Thank you.
00:32Thank you very much. Thank you. You're welcome.
00:37Thank you very much indeed.
00:39Well, good evening, ladies and gentlemen and children.
00:41Welcome to the Generation Game. Nice to see you. To see you.
00:49I'm waiting.
00:51Come on. Didn't you know? I'll give you a subtle clue.
00:57Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
01:05Happy birthday, dear Brucie. Happy birthday to you.
01:13Oh, thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
01:19My birthday is actually in February, but I'm not on television in February,
01:24and I knew you wouldn't want to forget it. You know what I mean?
01:27That's so nice of you. Unlike some people in show business, I never lie about my age.
01:32I'm 98. I know I don't look it. That's because I've always treated my body with respect.
01:39My body is a temple. I only use it on a Sunday.
01:44And I can still do what's known in the world of dancing as the ultimate splits.
01:50Even Rosie couldn't do that. I do the ultimate splits, then leave the stage in two different directions.
01:57I suppose I could do it tonight because Casualty is on after this.
02:02On second thought, I don't think I'll bother. I could ruin my thermals as well.
02:09Yes, 98. There's a saying, age before beauty, and here is that beauty, the gorgeous, the lovely, Rosemary Ford.
02:27Bruce, you know, you really are an incredible, amazing, fantastic, and truly remarkable man.
02:33True, true. Now, if you'd just introduce the contestants for me.
02:36Look, I'd have never believed it. 98 years of age.
02:39Rosemary, it was only a joke, dear.
02:41You must be on your second bus pass by now.
02:45I should have done the farmyard impressions, shouldn't I? For the last time, I am not 98.
02:50Anyway, look, I'm glad because I had time to nip out and buy you a present.
02:53Look, I keep telling you, I'm not 90... Oh, a present?
02:57Yeah, here you go. Oh, thank you.
02:58I hope you like it. Now, go on, open it.
03:01I love opening presents, actually.
03:07You know, I'm sure that that would be a great help for somebody at your age, you know.
03:12A zimmer frame for goodness sake.
03:14And also, it's got... It's got... What?
03:18Your old number plate.
03:21There you go.
03:23And a happy birthday.
03:25Yeah, thank you again. Now, just introduce the contestants.
03:28How do you get down the stairs with these?
03:32Away you go.
03:33Right, our first team are from Devon.
03:35They're mother and son, Trish and Marcus Whittington.
03:46Oh, I like that.
03:48I've never done that before. That's beautiful.
03:50You are Trish...?
03:51Whittington.
03:52It is Whittington, yeah.
03:53I've got to ask this, what's your husband's called?
03:55Dick.
03:56Dick!
03:57Oh, that's incredible.
03:59Now, what was it, that immortal line?
04:01Ten more miles to London, Dick, and not a puss in sight.
04:07Danny LaRue, 1964.
04:09Never forget it.
04:10Now, how did this dick of yours propose?
04:12Well...
04:14Hey!
04:15What's the matter with you?
04:18Just a simple question.
04:20I'll clear this place.
04:22Away you go, dear.
04:23After a romantic meal in Cornwall,
04:25he took me to the cliffside with setting sun,
04:28and he offered me a single red rose with engagement ring on it.
04:31Oh, that's...
04:32And I refused.
04:33You refused?
04:34Why, did you want to see if he'd jump off the cliff?
04:37You refused!
04:38Anyway, any special talents have you got?
04:41Yes, I can predict the following day's weather
04:43by the temperature of my feet.
04:45No, really? Is that true?
04:46Yes.
04:47I get into bed and have a feel of my feet.
04:50Oh, I see.
04:51And then I predict the following day's weather.
04:53Oh, I see.
04:54So when you get into bed tonight,
04:55will you feel your feet and phone me
04:57when you do that?
04:58Good. Thank you, Trish.
04:59Now, over to your son, Marcus.
05:01Hi.
05:02Good. You are an assistant buyer.
05:03You were once a cocktail bartender.
05:05Where did you do this?
05:06I did that in New York.
05:07Oh, yeah?
05:08Oh, tell me about that.
05:09Yeah, I used to...
05:10It's where I learned how to make a proper martini.
05:12Yeah?
05:13If you can say it, I can shake it.
05:14If you can spell it, I can make it.
05:15Oh.
05:16Well, if you can afford it...
05:19Very good.
05:20If you can afford it, I can drink it.
05:23We could all play that.
05:24Where did you go after that, after New York?
05:26I went on to Crimping Pasties in Cornwall.
05:28Crimping...?
05:29Pasties.
05:30Pasties.
05:31Oh, God.
05:32Crimping the pasties.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Oh, I love pasties.
05:35Crimps were a bit loose.
05:36Yes, I know.
05:37I know it's when you walked home.
05:40What sports do you do?
05:41Yeah, I play squash at St Malian.
05:44Well, that's a golf club, isn't it?
05:45St Malian Golf Club, right.
05:46Oh, have you ever had a wall in one?
05:50Anything else you do?
05:52Yeah, I also do archery.
05:53Oh, archery.
05:54Oh, so you're an archer.
05:57Hold it! Hold it!
06:00Sorry about that.
06:03Don't take that in British.
06:07OK, thank you both for being here.
06:09Pop over there and see who you're going to play with.
06:11Very nice people.
06:12Very nice people.
06:14I like that.
06:15She's lovely.
06:16Lovely.
06:17Yes, now, who have we got now?
06:18Right, our second team's from Fife in Scotland.
06:20Their father-in-law and daughter-in-law,
06:22George and Debbie Fleming.
06:24Right.
06:34Now, you are Debbie Fleming from Fife?
06:36Yes.
06:37Yes, love your bananas.
06:40What do you do?
06:41I'm a courseware engineer and part-time aerobics instructor.
06:44Oh, aerobics.
06:45Oh, yeah, well, don't wear your courseware when you're doing your aerobics.
06:48That could really rub you up the wrong way.
06:51Married to Stuart for only six months?
06:53Yes.
06:54Oh, just a minute.
06:55Oh, still warm.
06:56Right.
06:58Now, tell us about the honeymoon, then.
07:01Well, we couldn't afford to go abroad,
07:03so we decided to go to Butlins.
07:05Ah, you couldn't afford...
07:06So you went to Butlins, yes.
07:07Yes.
07:08So, on the first night there, there was a hypnotist.
07:11Oh, hypnotist, yes, yes, yes.
07:13So I had to do a lot of different things that I'd never done before.
07:16Oh, yes, well, it was your wedding night, wasn't it?
07:18That's true.
07:19That's true.
07:23Now, has Stuart got any nicknames for you at all?
07:26Yes, Mouse.
07:27Mouse? Why does he call you Mouse?
07:29Because they eat half a pound of cheese a day.
07:31You eat half a pound of cheese a day?
07:34Good gracious.
07:35And he hasn't got you?
07:37Yeah, well, somebody shut his trap.
07:41Any ambitions at all?
07:43Yes, we'd like to be a TV presenter, so Bruce...
07:46Oh.
07:47Well, if somebody can't make it, just phone me.
07:52That's very fond, very kind of you, but, you know,
07:55what's on the board Mrs Fleming? I mean...
07:59Right, now over now to George.
08:01George Fleming, your father-in-law.
08:03Nice to meet you.
08:04Welcome, welcome, lovely.
08:05Now, what do you do?
08:06I'm a police sergeant at the Faith Constabulary.
08:08A police sergeant?
08:09Oh.
08:10Worm night.
08:12Oh, no, Scottish.
08:13Worm nift.
08:14Worm nift.
08:16Worm nift.
08:18That was something in your purses.
08:21You play the mouth organ?
08:23Oh, now and again.
08:24Oh, did you bring it with you?
08:25Not tonight.
08:26Oh, good, I hate it.
08:29Oh, I do, I hate the mouth, I really do hate it.
08:32If I want to play 36 holes, I have two rounds of golf.
08:38Any children at all?
08:39Two, Bruce.
08:40Yes, tell us about them.
08:41Well, we've got Fiona, my daughter, and Stuart, who's married to Debbie.
08:44Oh, yeah, of course, yes, yeah.
08:46Fiona, when she was, well, just before she was born,
08:50I wanted to be at the birth, of course.
08:51Of course, yes.
08:52And someone was told to let me know, give me the wire.
08:56Yes.
08:57I did, I ran all the way to the hospital, only to find out it was too late.
09:00Oh, you're too...
09:01She'd been born.
09:02Oh, she'd been born.
09:03However, the nurse brought the child along,
09:05all wrapped in a nice white shawl.
09:07Yeah.
09:08She said, I says, oh, that's lovely, you know, she's really looking good.
09:13Lovely daughter.
09:14So she says, I'll give you a better look.
09:16So she unwrapped the shawl, and she stood by in amazement,
09:19and we both realised this was the wrong baby.
09:21So she says, oh, Mr Fleming, she says, I'm sorry, it's got a teapot.
09:25I says, well, I've never heard it called that before.
09:29It's got a teapot?
09:31Well, I've never heard, have you ever heard that?
09:33I've never heard it called that before.
09:35If you think about it, it sticks out a mile.
09:38It really does.
09:39Anyway, George, thanks for telling us about that,
09:41and Debbie, over there, we've got a game coming up.
09:43All right?
09:49Before our first game, I'd just like to point out
09:51that our contestants have no idea what we have planned for them.
09:54You do not rehearse.
09:55This is your rehearsal.
09:57Here we go.

15:57Oh
16:03Well Trish and Marcus have 15 George and Debbie have 14
16:10Not again, but we've received many complaints that we haven't done the potter's wheel this year
16:20It is a bit different
16:21I promise you first of all feast your eyes on this
16:23These decorative pots can be hung on the wall in your garden and they're all made by the man from alamance ceramics
16:31Mr. Kevin Millward
16:41Pots are so useful for so many things now, what's the biggest one you've ever made?
16:47In weight 70 pounds
16:52That's about two feet across and two feet high and you do it in exactly the same way exactly the same way
16:57Yes, yeah a wheel. That's how Ronnie Corbett's that used to get inside
17:02You come if you will all of you come over here and get in nice and close so you can see exactly what's going on
17:08That's it. Get in there Trish. That's it. And in your own words Kevin away you go, right?
17:12First the most important thing is the foot pedal this controls the speed
17:17Further you press it down faster. The wheel goes water
17:22Throw the clay on
17:23First of all, we have to send to the clay that's to get the clay in the middle of the wheel
17:29thumb in the middle press in
17:33Open out
17:37We now bring the walls
17:40Oh
17:41into a cylinder
17:43Nice fat bump for the top fascinating fascinating. This part's called knuckling up. We lift the clay into a cylinder
17:52You want about eight inches in height here trim the base
17:57And put the shape into the pot now
18:00first of all
18:02The belly of the pot
18:06Just a little tuck in for the foot
18:09And then roll the top over to form the rim couple lines for decoration
18:16Lines on the top
18:19Most important. Yes sponge
18:22Take the water from inside
18:25Smooth the top stop the wheel now and finger inside
18:30This is to form the flat back
18:34And then finger up the back
18:37Yeah, thumb and finger press that makes a little hole for it to hang by
18:53Get in here Trish, okay and put on your
18:56Your coats so you won't get too splashed with it now to make it different this year
19:01Your pots are already halfway up we want to see how good you are at pulling up the pot to its full height
19:09The back needs to be finished with a hole in it so we can hang it on the wall
19:14All right, you're each gonna have 30 seconds
19:16So you three this side face that way sit down and face that way sit down face that way
19:21Because you're each gonna have it and you're gonna go first. All right Marcus
19:24So sit yourself down use plenty of water and don't forget
19:28It's the pulling up of the shaping of we want to see get your motor running you have 30 seconds
19:33Starting from now plenty of water and get your hand inside and see if you can pull it up
19:38Stop
19:48We've rediscovered the profit we'll
19:51Five years out of it
19:53Here we go. Plenty of water get it spinning. Okay, fine. Away you go. Try and pull it up. Try and pull it up
20:00Good good. Good. Very good. Yes
20:08Oh
20:10You're gonna sell for that you're gonna sell that very good actually
20:20Plenty of water. Okay, get some water on it and get you your motor running so that your 30 seconds starts now
20:26Away you go get the motor going good fine. Let's start to put it
20:38Okay
20:40There we go the plenty of water plenty of water, okay get plenty of water on put it up, okay
20:46That's it. Good. It's going. Okay. Yeah, put it up gently gently
21:00You can get a bit higher
21:07Oh
21:25Well now he did a lot of this
21:32Quite good the snow water inside is clean the water out. Yes. It has an assemblance of a pot
21:38Assemblance, I think we'll go for a five on that five on that one. Not too bad. All right, not too bad
21:46Got very well, she was gentle with it. She was really pulling in an asymmetrical form. Yeah
21:55Yeah, so what about I would have given this more marks, but she forgot to take the water out
21:59Yes, and she didn't shake the back. Yeah, so but you're still very good. So we'll give that one an eight. All right
22:07Indeed
22:09This is a bit of a shame. Yes. Yeah. Yes a little bit overworked
22:13Yes, it all came off in one love and then she got it back on here somehow. I mean
22:18Inside I don't know whether it's poured out or been sponged out
22:23What do you think I presume this is the back
22:30Proper one, but yeah, I think we'll go for a six on a six
22:38Like a Yorkshire pudding
22:42Yes, so what do we think pretty good I think we'll go for a seven on a seven on that well
