- 22/05/2025
Today's contestants for the start of the 4th series of the reboot of The Generation Game are Brenda & Carl French from Essex, June & Warren Hall from Staffordshire, Alan Taylor & Cora-Ann Leonard from Tyne & Wear, and Boy Johnson & Amanda Leggett from Yorkshire. Bruce Forsyth returns to front the show, as ever with his assistant Rosemary Ford, and you may notice a tweak in this series in that the young women with older men are competing against each other, as are the young men with older women - possibly in order to prevent the finale being dominated by one youth spectrum. Among among the games are "Streetwise" (street dance), "Who Am I?" (where contestants in a seaside cut out of the celebrity has to guess whose body they are in), "Roll Up, Roll Up" (making Swiss Rolls with Phil Mitchell - not THAT Phil, but not a headline you thought you'd see, let's be honest), and "Telly Teasers" (draw the show for you team mate to guess). The finale is a cracking Antony and Cleopatra spoof, but the most gobsmacking moment is from guest judge Willie Rushden, who is astonishingly rude to one contestant, who not surprisingly looks none too pleased. But who will go through to the conveyor belt of prizes? There's only one way to find out...

00:43Nice to see you, to see you
00:45Nice!
00:46And it's nice to be back
00:48Do you know, I've been wondering all day
00:50If it's just a coincidence that every year
00:52When the first show in this series comes out
00:55All the tortoises hibernate
00:59I have this picture in my mind of thousands of little tortoises
01:02All over the country, sitting in front of the TV set
01:05Nibbling a lettuce leaf, then shouting
01:07It's him, it's him, quick!
01:09And they all put their pyjamas on
01:12Flo, tortoises
01:17Do they hibernate when I come on?
01:20What? You know people who emigrate when I come on?
01:23Well that's charming Flo, thanks a lot
01:26Anyway, they'll be sorry because they would have missed
01:28Meeting the lovely Rosemary F-F-F-F-Fall
01:40I've missed you, I've missed you
01:43We've missed her
01:46Well I haven't seen anything of you at all over the past year
01:48With all this Come Dancing
01:50Oh you know, I love doing that show
01:52Yeah, it's been going on for a long time
01:53I've never told you this, but you know
01:54I was in the first edition of that
01:56What, the very first edition of Come Dancing?
01:58Yes, I was a member of the Home Counties South's gavotte team

02:21Well don't tell me you've signed on for Aston Villa
02:24No, of course not, I didn't like the strip
02:26I bet they did
02:30What do you do child, what do you do in your spare time?
02:33Oh well actually I look for unusual places for tortoises to hibernate
02:40Well on behalf of the Generation Game, thank you for fitting us into your career
02:46She gets more work than I do
02:48Anyway, introduce the contestants
02:50Alright then, I will

04:12And we went touring in Scotland
04:14And on the way up there, the gearbox cracked
04:16Oh no, bad luck
04:17And I spent every morning of the honeymoon
04:19Underneath the car, topping up the gearbox
04:21So you really wore out your dipstick
04:33Now we've got to their level
04:37Any ambitions at all?
04:39I'd love to wrestle with a pig in mud
04:45Wrestle with a pig in mud, yes

05:54Oh well I don't talk to the press
05:58You're married to John, that's fine
06:00How did you meet him?
06:01Well I met him whilst waiting for another fella
06:04He walked past, I went c'mon he ain't no bad bit of stuff
06:07Yes
06:08He turned round, came back and we've been married for 28 years
06:1128 years, well that's wonderful
06:13Any pets have you got?
06:14Yes, we've got a dog called Ben
06:17Oh yes
06:18And he's very fond of helping himself out of things in the fridge
06:22He opens the fridge
06:23He opens the fridge door?
06:24He opens the fridge
06:25He's made to do that
06:26Yes, we've tried child locks and everything and he still opens the fridge door
06:30How nice
06:31And he helps himself to chicken, cheese and it's a bit fussy what he eats
06:35Yes
06:36He's hoping to go well when I'm gone
06:42He sounds nice
06:43Oh he is
06:44Oh he is, great
06:45And now one day with John you were embarrassed in a restaurant, what was all this about?
06:49Er
06:50What?
06:52Well what it was, John and I decided to go for our lunch
06:55Yes
06:56We sat in this restaurant, I ate my meal
06:58Yeah
06:59Come to get up and I was stuck in my chair
07:02You couldn't get out of the chair?
07:03I couldn't get out
07:04Oh it was all one of those closed in sort of
07:06No, no, no it was like a picnic bench and I was sat there and I just could not get out
07:10John walked away in embarrassment and left me there
07:18That's where I get this from
07:21Well you're a lovely girl, thanks for telling those lovely stories
07:25I thought that was fabulous
07:29What about your son Warren Hall?
07:32That's right
07:33Warren Hall, sounds like a stately home
07:35What do you do?
07:36I'm a trainee accountant Bruce
07:38A trainee accountant, I see
07:39Any other jobs you've had in the meantime?
07:41Well I used to wash up in a Chinese restaurant
07:43Oh in a Chinese restaurant?
07:45Oh yeah
07:46Did anybody help you or did you do it all on your own?
07:48Yeah, a couple of Chinese fellas

07:58I said anybody would grow
08:00Right, now you were engaged once, tell us all about it
08:03Well it didn't last very long unfortunately
08:05About a month or so and I had the ring back three times in that one month
08:08What, she threw it back at you?
08:10She threw it back at me three times
08:11I think she was trying to tell you something
08:14Who is your ideal woman? Who are you really looking for in life?
08:17Maybe a Sharon Stone
08:19Sharon Stone? Why?
08:21A lot of the guys now are really going for this Sharon Stone, why?
08:24Well basically I mean the perfect woman deserves a perfect guy
08:27Basic, you said basic, you mean...
08:30That's my son
08:32That's your son, yes, who else is?
08:37Your instinct is very basic
08:40Well now look, have you still got that ring?

47:11Arrive, ducky?
47:12That's Arrivederci!
47:16Arrive, ducky. Go on, go on, go on, carry on.
47:20I cannot live without Cleopatra. I want to die as well.
47:23Yes, don't worry, we all do with this.
47:27I think I'm next.
47:28Oh, go on, help yourself, go on.
47:31Can I help, Rosie?
47:32APPLAUSE
47:41There you are.
47:43Done.
47:45So, over the years, we've done, and that was absolutely marvellous.
47:48Thank you again. Are the other couple ready?
47:50Good. We're now ready for Cleopatra, take two.
48:00Salute. I'm still a worried man because I think my beloved Cleopatra
48:04is still having an affair with Mark Antony.
48:07Fanfare!
48:15I fancy an ice cream. What have you got?
48:18Just one cornetto.
48:22Give it to me.
48:25Delicious ice cream
48:28from Napoli.
48:32We should have done Danny Boy.
48:35Get off that thing, get off, get off, will you?
48:38Are you all right? Yeah.
48:40Cool, that could have been nasty.
48:43Look out, there you go. Left hand down, come in here.
48:46Is that Kenny Lynch?
48:50Could we...
48:52Mr O'Kane.
48:54Right.
48:56And Mark Antony's quarters?
48:58Yes. He's got a room overlooking the Suez.
49:01Well, I hope the wind's in the right direction.
49:10Blimey, look at her.
49:13I think you are Joan Collins.
49:16Write your lines on the parchment, dear, unroll it and read it.
49:19Right.
49:22P.T.O.
49:25P.T.O.?
49:27Next time, send a fax.
49:29Get rid of it.
49:31Cleopatra, we've been talking about you.
49:34Where have you been?
49:36I have been to Rome to see Lavinius.
49:39Lavinius?
49:41That's Lavinius.
49:43Lavinius, for goodness sake, whisper the next line.
49:47Whisper the next line.
49:49Female, oh, my love.
49:51No, you are the female.
49:53Female, oh, my love. No, you are the female, dear.
49:57God, I've got a trained-up chimp by now.
50:01Whisper to him, dear, oh, my love.
50:03Oh, my love, I fear all is lost.
50:06We have been rumbled. Collapsed.
50:09No, you...
50:12You collapsed, dear. Collapsed down there.
50:15Collapsed down there.
50:17This is gone.
50:19Right, now, your lines are written on the mummy's bandage.
50:22Now, before we do this,
50:24should he take the mummy or open the box?
50:27Should he take the mummy or open the box?
50:30Open the box. Right, open the box.
50:32Come in here, Alan. That's it, good. There we are.
50:35Oh, dear, we arrived too soon.
50:38He's an expectant mummy.
50:41Right, the lines on the bandage, you see.
50:43Unravel the bandage and read the line on the inside as you go round.
50:46That's it, go on. Take your time.
50:48Almighty Caesar,
50:50Cleopatra and I have been
50:53having a nitty-bitsy
50:56bit of hunky-punky
50:59willy-nilly
51:01and that's the nitty-gritty.
51:05Oh, blimey, look at the price of pyramids.
51:08Draw your sword. Draw your sword.
51:11I haven't got a sword. I've got a conker.
51:19Well, let's have a look at your conker, then. Where is your conker?
51:22Oh, it is here. I see.
51:24Hey, I've got one as well. Yes.
51:26I've got a... I've got a twenty-twicer. There he is.
51:31Right, I'll go first, Gary. Go on.
51:33Oh!
51:35That was good. That was good.
51:37Right.
51:42Stop it! Stop it!
51:44What? Making me look... Stop it! What?
51:46Can't you see you're upsetting my queen?
51:48Oh, I didn't want to upset you, Queenie.
51:50I really didn't want to upset you. Go on.
51:52I must take the honourable way and bring me the ass.
51:55Oh, please, Queen.
51:57Not that. I beg you, not that.
51:59Please. Oh, my queen!
52:01My queen! My queen!
52:04I... Please, I beg of you, not the ass.
52:08She should be in films.
52:10Home videos.
52:12Get the snake out. Go on, get it out.
52:14Good. Away you go. Come on. Come on, hurry up.
52:17He's all knotted up there.
52:19Read it. It's on the skate. It's on the snake.
52:21Right, come on. I'm going...
52:23I'm going to clasp an ass in my grasp...
52:26...while grasping my lust.
52:28Now, let the ass bite you.
52:30Let the ass bite you, quick.
52:32Bite! Ah!
52:34More than that. Ah!
52:36That's it!
52:38Now, ride, dear. Ride in pain.
52:40Ride in pain.
52:42Ride, dear. Ride!
52:48Right. She's a right rider.
52:50Now, whack Cleopatra. Come on.
52:53Cleopatra, please don't go without me.
52:56Why? Can't you go for yourself?
52:58Oh, go on, go on. I cannot live.
53:00I cannot live without Cleopatra.
53:03I want to die as well.
53:05Oh, but before you go, sing us once more.
53:11Oh, Danny Boy
53:14Oh, Danny, Danny Boy
53:18Wasn't that terrible?
53:20Here, have a snake each and kill yourselves.
53:27Ah!
53:39Come here. Well done, you two.
53:41And over you come, if you will.
53:43Absolutely marvellous, all of you.
53:45And now, to judge this, we have a cartoonist,
53:48a writer and a performer,
53:50all in the shape of one of my favourite funny men,
53:53Willie Rushton.
53:56APPLAUSE
54:03Thank you very much.
54:05I can judge this on the condition that none of you
54:07ever do anything like this again in public.
54:10Alan and Cora Ann.
54:12Alan and Cora Ann.
54:13Alan was a lot funnier than Richard Burton.
54:16But quite frankly, he could never have handled
54:18Elizabeth Taylor without Sherpas and Oxygen.
54:22Cora Ann, I thought, was rather good and wasted.
54:24I've got here, died well.
54:27Anyway, I gave you 17.
54:29Ah, very good, very good, thank you.
54:34Very good.
54:35It's something that Geoff boycotted about you.
54:37But you can...
54:39It is.
54:40You can easily get rid of that.
54:44You actually look like a cinema I used to go to
54:46when I was a lad.
54:54It was an Odeon, an Odeon in Kensington.
54:56The whole thing was Egyptian.
55:00Yes.
55:01Good-ass work with bosom, I thought.
55:03And on those grounds alone, I'd actually give you 18.
55:06Oh!
55:11Thank you for being with us.
55:12Good luck with all you do.
55:14You're always one of my favourite people.
55:16Willie Rushton, there we are.
55:18Thank you for being with us and being a part of it.
55:21And you each get a generation game,
55:23an answering machine telephone
55:25and a pocket-coloured television.
55:27All right, and thank you, both of you, for being with us.
55:30Rosie, will you take care of them?
