- yesterday
The contestants today are Sue & Steve Nice from Nottingham, May & Adrian Miller from Devon & Dorset, Graham Berry & Michelle Greaves from West Yorkshire, and Nigel & Zoe Davies from Worcestershire and Northampton. Bruce Forsyth relates another of his nightmares (this time involving Tarzan), though he becomes more preoccupied by his girl Jane (aka Rosemary Ford)'s black dress and bustle. While the contestants regale Brucie with stories of embarrassing trips to the doctor and one chap's cautionary tale of never trusting a sweet old lady if she offers you tea, the games themselves include "On the Ball" (with spurs star Nicky Barmby), "What's it Worth?" (with Eric Knowles), "Give a Little Whistle" (with Dottie Wayne) and "Pottery Plank", which is very tricky indeed and somewhat unfair as it gives one half of the team very little time to complete it. The grand finale sees the remaining teams compete in a Sand Dance finale (Wilson, Kepple & Betty, with a surprise appearance by one of the real life Betty's that performed). The final is judged by the ever lively Roy Castle. Poignantly he was battling cancer at the time (though you'd never know it here) and would die just a year later at only 60.

00:00Life is the name of the game, and I want to play the game with you.
00:11Life can be terribly pain, if you don't play the game with two.
00:18And I want to play the game with you.
00:21Thank you very much indeed, have time, good evening.
00:38Ladies, gentlemen, children, welcome to the Generation Game.
00:40Nice to see you, to see you...
00:43It happened again last night.
00:46I had another nightmare.
00:48I dreamt I was eating the world's largest wine gum.
00:51When I woke up this morning, the hot water bottle had gone.
00:55It's getting me down.
00:56The nightmare I had the night before was even worse.
00:59I dreamt I was lost in space, and I got caught by the Klingons.
01:04And I woke up, my eyes were watering.
01:06Anyway, it's got to the stage now where I'm afraid to go to sleep.
01:09I'm forcing myself to stay awake.
01:11I was still sitting up in bed at 2 o'clock this morning with Ginny Cooper.
01:14Reading one of her books, Doris.
01:19Why are you always ahead, dear?
01:21Anybody, who wants to sleep when there's a chance to meet the dazzling, adorable darling,
01:25Rosemary Thorne?
01:26Oh, you look good.
01:37You really do.
01:38Could we have a close-up, please, of Rosemary?
01:40Oh, thank you.
01:41No, not there.
01:41No, no, around the back.
01:42Around the back.
01:43What have you got on there, my dear?
01:45Well, it's a bustle.
01:46Does it move when you walk?
01:48Well, I don't know.
01:48I've never looked.
01:49Well, can I?
01:51Would you like to join me, lads?
01:52Yes!
01:53Yes, just have a little walk round.
01:54It's so cute.
01:55I love it.
01:56When you came on, I thought I was...
01:58Oh, definitely.
01:59Hey, then.
02:00Well, away you go.
02:02I mean, what's it made of?
02:05All sorts of, like, netting sewn together.
02:07It's like lots of little tiny frills.
02:09Yeah, well, it's one big frill for us, isn't it, lads?
02:12Yeah, and I tell you what, I wouldn't sit down in that dress.
02:14I know.
02:14You could tickle yourself to death.
02:15Anyway, let's meet.
02:19Let's meet.
02:20I saved that one, yes.
02:22I always save one.
02:23Right.
02:23Introduce the contestants.
02:25Away you go.
02:26Right, our first team's from Nottinghamshire.
02:28Telling yourself to death.
02:30Go on.
02:30Our first team's from Nottinghamshire.
02:33They're mother and son, Sue and Steve Nice.
02:35Right.
02:44How are you?
02:45Nice.
02:45Now you are Sue...
02:47Nice.
02:47It is N-I-C-E.
02:49Nice.
02:49Nice.
02:49Oh, well, it's Sue nice to see you, to see you, Sue.
02:53Nice.
02:54Right, made you feel at home.
02:55What do you do, my darling?
02:56I'm a part-time shoe shop assistant.
02:58Oh, I see.
02:59So, Sue sells shoes in shoe shops.
03:01Yes.
03:01Yeah, sandals, slippers and sling bags.
03:03Yes.
03:03Right, good.
03:04Just clear it up.
03:05You're married to Richard for 26 years.
03:07What does he do?
03:08He's a painter and decorator.
03:09A painter and decorator?
03:10Yes.
03:10And he hasn't given you the brush off?
03:12No.
03:12Right.
03:13Tell us about the wedding, darling, then.
03:15Well, I got down through the door, walking towards the aisle, and I thought, oh, powder
03:22blue suit.
03:23Oh, no.
03:24Drain pipe trousers.
03:26Very pale face with red eyes.
03:28Oh, no.
03:28Just like a vision in red, white, and blue.
03:31Oh, my.
03:32But, you know, not bad for a wedding.
03:34Something old, something new, something red, white, and blue.
03:38Have you any irritating habits at all, Sue?
03:40Yes.
03:41I'm afraid when I go on a bit long journeys on holiday or anywhere, every 20 miles, I have
03:47to stop to go to the loo.
03:48No.
03:49Yes.
03:50What's that to the gallon?
03:53Shut up.
03:54I didn't mean it like that.
03:55But, I mean, you never go on a plane, I hope.
03:58Yes.
03:58You do?
03:59Yes.
03:59Well, that must be difficult.
04:00I mean, a plane goes about 600 miles an hour.
04:03That's 10 miles a minute.
04:04Yeah.
04:0420 miles in two minutes.
04:06You must be in the loo the whole time.
04:07Yes.
04:08What a long haul.
04:11Over now to Steve.
04:13Now then, Steve, your son.
04:15And what do you do?
04:16I'm an aerobics and step instructor.
04:18Oh.
04:18And a house husband.
04:20Are you a good house husband?
04:21Well, I think I am.
04:22Give me an idea of your average day.
04:24Okay, well, let's see.
04:25Wake up about, oh, half past seven.
04:28Yeah.
04:28And the tea's made on my side of the bed.
04:30Yeah.
04:30So I have to make the tea on my side of the bed.
04:32Yeah.
04:33She gets some, Pat, that's my wife.
04:35Yeah.
04:36She gets up and does her hair.
04:37I have to go down and make the breakfast for her.
04:39She comes down and feed the cats as well.
04:41Yes.
04:42Put the washing on, do the oofing, do the dusting.
04:44And then I've got to do a step class at 10.30.
04:48Yes.
04:48And I've finished my step class at 11.30.
04:50Yeah.
04:51And I have to go home to make Pat's lunch.
04:53Oh, yes.
04:54And, you know, put the dinner on.
04:55Yes, of course.
04:56And then I have to do the washing up.
04:58I wish I could never have asked.
05:02And then in the afternoon, I do generally get an hour or so to myself if I get a chance.
05:07And then I have to go and pick Pat up from work.
05:10I think I'll change legs.
05:13And then I have to go out again about 6.30 to do my aerobics and step classes.
05:17Yeah, fine.
05:18A full day.
05:19It is a full day.
05:19A full day.
05:20A round of applause.
05:26Now, you're married to Pat.
05:28What does she do apart from nothing?
05:31She's a payroll analyst and she also teaches aerobics part.
05:35Oh, she does aerobics as well?
05:36Where did you meet her?
05:38Oh, she's actually my boss.
05:40I was a full-time employee.
05:41Oh, was she?
05:41Was she still the boss now?
05:42You do all the work.
05:44Any nicknames at all?
05:46Yeah, Biscuit.
05:47Biscuit?
05:48Why a biscuit?
05:49Nice biscuit.
05:49Oh, because of the nice name?
05:51That's right, yeah.
05:51Oh, I see.
05:52Yeah, we could have been worse.
05:52Could have been odd knobs.
05:56I just thought of that.
05:59Over there you go.
06:00Lovely to be in there.
06:03Let's start with it.
06:04They are traffic.

07:30Yeah, we went on the motorbike.
07:31All on her own.
07:32You went on the motorbike?
07:34We're all dying to know, when he got to the hotel, did he say, you're a tiz?
07:41Oh, you're lovely.
07:42You really are.
07:43Over now to Adrian.
07:44Adrian, I love your wall.
07:46And what do you do?
07:49I'm a firefighter, Bruce.

07:51Oh, sorry.
07:52Firefighter.
07:53Yes, you're married to Sheena.
07:54Tell us about the wedding day.
07:56Well, on the wedding day, I received a letter from the fire brigade saying that I'd been taken on.
07:59Oh, good, yeah.
08:00The best man at the reception told everybody, and my boss happened to be there.
08:03So, I can give my notice in.
08:05Straight away?
08:06Yeah.
08:06Oh, so what did your boss say?

08:09I bet you couldn't wait to try out your fireman's lift on Sheena.
08:12Well, yes.
08:13Well, yes, yes.
08:15Firefighters.
08:15Now, we all know that they've got a great reputation for saving animals.
08:19In your experience, have you ever saved any animals?
08:21Oh, I've saved a budgie from a block of flats.
08:25A budgie?
08:25A budgie.
08:26A budgie, yes.
08:27I don't believe it.
08:28Yeah, how could you save a budgie?
08:30He's got his own ladder.
08:33All right.
08:34Anything else?
08:34Yeah, so it was a pigeon in some netting.
08:38We took that down in Boscombe Town Centre, and there was no crowd there, and I got a round
08:42of applause.
08:42Oh, they all applauded you.
08:43That's lovely.
08:44Well, I hope the pigeon was great, thought.
08:46Didn't do the dirty on you.
08:47Right.
08:48There was a fire and roses dressing room a couple of days, you know.
08:51What's that?
08:51Took 20 minutes to put the fire out.
08:52Four hours to get the fireman out.
08:53But there's another story.
08:57Lovely people.
08:58Thank you so much for being here.
08:59There they are.
09:00Have a good day.
09:02All right?
09:03Lovely.
09:04Nice people.
09:05Before our first game, I'd just like to remind you that our contestants have no idea what
09:09we have planned for them.

13:49Go on.
13:50I'm a great admirer.
13:51I'm a great admirer.
13:52Especially for the team you play for.
13:54Because I was born at Edmonton, which is right near Tottenham and everything.
13:57And that's lovely.
13:58Now, you're better now.
13:59You're sort of over your splint.
14:01What was it?
14:02You had shin splints.
14:03Shin splints.
14:04Which can be very painful.
14:05It can, yeah.
14:06Well, it was.
14:07Played last night in there.
14:08Oh, yeah.
14:09Contention for Saturday's game.
14:10Oh, you could be.
14:11Well, that's great.
14:12Well, we wish you good luck for that.
14:14They've missed you.
14:15Well, you also went to the school, didn't you?
14:17Yeah.
14:18And did you feel that it helped prepare you for your career?
14:21Well, I think it's a great opportunity for young lads.
14:24Of course.
14:25You know, I want to be a footballer, I think.
14:26Yeah.
14:27I mean, it stood me in good stead.
14:28Now then, what do you think over here?
14:29Well, I think Steve and Adrian did as good as each other.
14:33So, I'll give them both seven points.
14:35Really?
14:36Oh, well done.
14:37Well done.
14:38I think it's, er, someone made it as bad as each other.
14:45Nicely put.
14:48Nicely put.
14:49There we are.
14:50You lost a couple of fans here, I'm talking about.
14:53I hope they're not on the terraces.
14:55Oh, anyway, so what are their points as well?
14:57I'll give them six points each.
14:59Six points each as well.
15:00So, more or less than every person.
15:02Yeah.
15:03Yeah, that.
15:04Adrian, yes, with Adrian scoring the goal.
15:07So, he gets a bonus point.
15:08Oh.
15:09He gets a bonus.
15:10A Brucie bonus for the goal.
15:11I forgot about that.
15:12Yes.
15:13Good job you were here.
15:14What a good job you were here.
15:15All right, Nic.
15:16Thank you for your marking.
15:17And thank you very much for all your entertainment.
15:19And I know the years of wonderful football you're going to give us.
15:22Okay.
15:23Cheers.
15:24Come on, you lily-wives.
15:25Hey, keep it on the island.
15:26Great.
15:27Oh, lovely.
15:28Oh, lovely.
15:29Now then, what's on the board, Miss Ford?
15:33Well, Steve and Sue have 13.
15:3513?
15:36May and Adrian have 14.
15:37Well, well done.
15:39Only one in it.
15:41Only one in it.
15:42Now, our second game is called What's It Worth?
15:47We're going to show you some items and ask you to tell us what you think they are worth
15:52at auction.
15:53Okay.
15:54Go to your lecterns, if you will.
15:57And we welcome from the Antiques Roadshow, Mr. Eric Knowles.
16:07Thank you so much for being with us again.
16:09My pleasure.
16:10I always enjoy these visits.
16:12And when is the Antiques Roadshow coming back?
16:14It starts again the first Sunday in the New Year.
16:17Oh, lovely.
16:18Well, it's such a popular show.
16:19We're right in the middle of a series at the moment.
16:20Good.
16:21We're off to Gibraltar in a couple of weeks.
16:22Oh, really?
16:23Children's Roadshow, the 28th of November at the Science Museum.
16:26Ticket only, mind you, but a must.
16:29Have you got a bill we could put up?
16:32Okay, now then, come over here and tell us what you've got for us this time.
16:35Right.
16:36The first object.
16:37Here it is.
16:38It's a Chinese ball.
16:39It was made in about 1770, but the character on here dates from 1745.
16:43He's one of your fellow countrymen.
16:45Oh, really?
16:46He's a Scot.
16:47Where is he?
16:48He's known as Sowey in the Bog House.
16:51It's a...
16:52Look at you, please.
16:53Somewhat risque, is this?
16:54It is a bit...
16:55Did you see this?
16:56In the 18th century, communal toilets were quite common.
16:59Now, this chap came down with Bonnie Prince Charlie,
17:02and the idea behind it is he'd never seen a proper toilet before,
17:05so he stuck his legs in the two halls rather than what he should have stuck in.
17:09Oh, no.
17:10That's wonderful.
17:11That being said, it is quite a rare ball.
17:13There's no two ways about it.
17:14Yes, exactly.
17:15In fact, you might say it's not quite your bog standard ball, actually.
17:17No, no.
17:18Afterloo.
17:19Afterloo.
17:20Now then, write down what you think it would be worth at auction.
17:24You made a guess?
17:25You made a guess?
17:26Right.
17:27What would it fetch at auction there?
17:28About £10,000.
17:29Woo!
17:30£10,000.
17:31What have you got, Rosie?
17:33We have £20,000.
17:34£20,000, and we've got £2,500, so we're the nearer, so we get the two points.
17:41OK, you get two points if you're the nearer.
17:43Well done.
17:44Well done.
17:45OK.
17:46Now, oh, this is lovely.
17:47You're liking this.
17:48Anybody who watches the Antiques Roadshow may recognise this character as the fellow that appeared
17:52on the opening credits, but he's a lovely French Bullock.
17:55He's got a lovely...
17:56You see his head moves.
17:57He's got glass.
17:58His nose is lovely and soft.
17:59Oh, is he?
18:00He's happy and mashy.
18:01About 1880.
18:02Yeah, two do.
18:03Oh, oh, oh!
18:08Eric!
18:09Jeez.
18:10That was a shock.
18:11Thank you, Mike.
18:12Yeah.
18:13He does tricks like this to being out of the game, isn't it?
18:15He is absolutely beautiful.
18:17He even shocked everybody out there.
18:19Absolutely.
18:20My little boy would love this.
18:22He really would.
18:23My little boy would.
18:24Great little fellow.
18:25All right.
18:26So there you are.
18:27There it is.
18:28You've had to explain.
18:29What do you think it would fetch at auction?
18:31Eric?
18:32£500.
18:33£500.
18:34What have you got over there?
18:36£8,000.
18:37£8,000?
18:38Well, we've got 5,000, so we're 4,000 out at least.
18:43And we have the two points.
18:45That's amazing.
18:46Amazing.
18:47OK, another two points there.
18:49Now, this is really beautiful.
18:51It's not quite antique.
18:53It actually dates from 1960.
18:54But this is Sir William Russell Flint, a top English artist.
19:00And this is quite typical of his work.
19:01It's an original watercolour.
19:02Is it?
19:03I have to say that, for the most part, what you see on everybody's wall is a print.
19:07So, for every one original, you've got about 750 prints.
19:11Yeah, but that is an original.
19:12And it's actually dedicated on the back by the artist, so it's that little bit special.
19:16Oh, really?
19:17It's beautiful.
19:18Pity you didn't have time to put some clothes on that lady there.
19:20Yes.
19:21You can't have everything.
19:22Well, she is wearing a smile, I know.
19:23Yes, she is.
19:24A very nice one, too.
19:25Right.
19:26Yes.
19:27So, it's absolutely lovely.
19:28As you can see, you can see it quite clearly there.
19:30You've got an answer?
19:31Yeah.
19:32You've got an answer.
19:33What would it fetch?
19:34£38,000.
19:35£30,000.
19:36OK.
19:37Now, what have you got over there?
19:39£3,000.
19:40£3,000.
19:41£3,000?
19:42Well, we've got £300,000 for it.
19:45So, you get the two points that time.
19:47Well done, indeed.
19:48And we're to this little teapot.
19:51Yeah, it's lovely.
19:52It's mint and majolica.
19:54And it's actually turning up in our special sale, our bicentenary sale at Bonham's next
19:58week, believe it or not.
19:59Oh, really?
20:00And there it is.
20:01It dates from around about 1875.
20:03And I just love a cheeky monkey.
20:06Oh, he is, isn't he?
20:07This fella is definitely my cook of tea, if I can say that.
20:10It is very...
20:11It's very beautiful.
20:12Very, very beautiful, indeed.
20:13You've got an answer?
20:14Yes.
20:15OK, we've got an answer here.
20:16And what do you say?
20:18£2,000, if it's your cook of tea.
20:20£2,000.
20:21What have we got?
20:22£6,000.
20:23£6,000.
20:24And we've got £4,000.
20:26We're out of game, but enough, enough to get you two points.
20:30Well done, you two.
20:31Right.
20:32Here we are.
20:33Now, what about here?
20:36This little girl has come courtesy of my friends at Sotheby's.
20:39And it's a little porcelain doll made in Germany at the end of the 19th century.
20:44And she does a bit of a jig when she's given a bit of encouragement.
20:47So it's very old, then.
20:48When she's given a lot of encouragement.
20:49Oh, bless her.
20:50Isn't that pretty?
20:51Isn't that pretty?
20:52And it's just purely a musical box.
20:54That's all it is.
20:55I see.
20:56She dances this little jig.
20:57A dress is a little bit tired, but...
20:59Yeah, but...
21:00She's been doing that for the best part of a hundred years.
21:01A hundred years.
21:02She must be a bit tired.
21:03And you...
21:04How do you switch it off?
21:05Just like that.
21:06Oh, I wish I could do that with some people.
21:08Right.
21:09All right.
21:11I'm very kidding, Rosie.
21:12OK, you've got an answer, have you?
21:14Yes, we have.
21:15What is it?
21:16£700.
21:17£700.
21:18And you've got...
21:19£1,500.
21:20£1,500.
21:21We've got £2,000.
21:22So...
21:23You've got your two points.
21:24Well done, indeed.
21:25Well done, indeed.
21:26And, Eric, thank you for bringing this.
21:29She's lovely.
21:30Always a pleasure to see you.
21:32Come on.
21:33Good day, Andrew.
21:34Thanks.
21:35Wasn't that fun?
21:36Yeah.
21:37I thought so.
21:38Now, then.
21:39There are points on the board.
21:41Miss Ford.
21:42Well, Steve and Sue have 19.
21:4419.
21:45May and Adrian have 18.
21:46Oh, bad luck.
21:47By one point.
21:49Oh, they're so sorry to lose you.
21:52But you will get a Generation Game telephone with our love.
21:56Good luck.
21:57Fine.
21:58And we'll be seeing you in our grand final, which is coming up fairly soon.
22:02All right.
22:03Away you go there.
22:04Nice people.
22:05Just by one point.
22:06So great, my darling.
22:08Now, Rosie, are you sure there's not a tea cosy?
22:11Don't.
22:12Oh.
22:13Go on.
22:14Go on, then.
22:15Right.
22:16The third team's from West...
22:17Haven't got a packet of biscuits in there, have you?
22:18She loves little bourbons.
22:19Right.
22:20Go on.
22:21Away you go.
22:22The third team's from West Yorkshire.
22:23They're uncle and niece, Graham Berry and Michelle Greaves.
22:26What was that?
22:27Greaves.
22:28So do I.
22:29What do you do?
22:30I'm a nursery nurse.
22:31A nursery nurse.
22:32That's a lovely job.
22:33The little ones.
22:34Yeah, that's right, three.
22:35Good.
22:36And you have a boyfriend.
22:37Where did you meet him?
22:38I met him in Cyprus on holiday.
22:39Oh, how romantic.
22:40Was he a Greek tycoon?
22:41Not quite.
22:42He was from Leeds.
22:43Oh, no.
22:44You mean you went all the way from Bradford?
22:45That's right.
22:46To meet a fella from Leeds?
22:47Yeah, that's right.
22:48Well, how did you meet?
22:49Well, actually, I was playing dominoes with my dad for nearly all the holiday.
23:03Oh, really?
23:04I met him at the end of the holiday.
23:05Oh, you met him at the end of the holiday?
23:06Yeah.
23:07Dominoes, yeah.
23:08Well, you didn't draw a blank.
23:09Oh.
23:10What's his name?
23:11His name's Ivor Thomas.
23:12What was that?
23:13Ivor Thomas.
23:14Oh.
23:15Never mind.
23:20Right.
23:21Now, then, you had to go to the doctor's for a routine test.
23:26Oh, yes.
23:27What was that all about?
23:28Right.
23:29Well, I was going to the doctor's and I had to go straight after work,
23:31so I put some clean underwear in my bag.
23:33Oh, of course.
23:34Of course, like you do.
23:35And I got to the doctor's and I'm laid on the bed, you know, looking at the ceiling
23:38and he said, do you do a lot of shopping at the co-op?
23:40And I said, pardon?
23:42And he says, you've got two co-op stamps up to your bum.
23:44You have two co-op stamps on your bum.
23:45There must have been in the bum.
23:46Oh, that's very funny.
23:47So embarrassing.
23:48I mean, it's your own fault.
23:49You know, you stick stamps on an owl bum.
23:50An owl bum.
23:51I just thought of that to myself.
23:52But that's a very funny story.
23:53I do love that.
23:54Right.
23:55Now, over to your uncle.
23:56Oh, your uncle Graham Berry.
23:57That's it.
23:58I see.
23:59And what do you do?
24:00I'm a police sergeant.
24:01A police sergeant.
24:02Oh!
24:03A police sergeant.
24:04Oh!
24:05A blueberry.
24:06Or a bilberry.
24:07Warm night.
24:08Come on, warm night.
24:09I always do it with the police whenever I get a fever.
24:10Warm night.
24:11Lovely, lovely, lovely.
24:12Now, you're married to Linda.
24:13Tell us about the honeymoon.
24:14Well, we didn't actually go on the honeymoon, Bruce, because we couldn't afford it.
24:16Oh, I see.
24:17But the wedding reception lasted from three o'clock one afternoon until two o'clock the
24:18following morning.
24:19Oh, dear.
24:20So, as you can imagine, when I got my bride home, due to an excess of alcohol, I didn't
24:21go on the honeymoon.
24:22I didn't go on the honeymoon, Bruce, because we couldn't afford it.
24:23Oh, I see.
24:24But the wedding reception lasted from three o'clock one afternoon until two o'clock the following
24:37morning.
24:38Oh, dear.
24:39When I got my bride home, due to an excess of alcohol, I couldn't actually lift her
24:42over the threshold.
24:43Oh, dear.
24:44And, in fact, I couldn't do anything else for that matter.
24:46So, I spent the night sleeping very, very deeply and snoring, and my wife spent the
24:50night sat on the top step crying for her mum.
24:52Oh, crying for her mum.
24:53Oh, you're so sad.
24:55I'll make a note of that.
24:57He slept, she wept.
24:59Well, so you weren't the rocking berries that night.
25:04Right.
25:06Now, being a police sergeant, there must also be a funny side to your work.
25:09Can you tell us a little...
25:10There often is, and one story swings to mind, Bruce, is we once had a horse running wild
25:14in the town centre.
25:15Yes.
25:16And we managed to get hold of it, eventually.
25:17And I thought, what we're going to do with this horse now?
25:19And I thought, the best place to put it is in the prisoner's exercise yard.
25:21Yeah.
25:22But, unfortunately, that involved walking the horse through the police station.
25:25And when we got it in the cell area, we got it jammed between the charge office desk
25:28and a wall.
25:29So, with a bit of a predicament, really.
25:32So, someone suggested we get a bowl full of sugar to try and entice it along its way.
25:36A bowl of sugar?
25:37Yeah.
25:38So, just as we were doing this, it lifted its tail, and it deposited the biggest bucketful
25:41of water on the floor you've ever seen.
25:44Oh, that's fantastic.
25:45So, the horse ran amuck.
25:46And the evidence piled up.
25:47Anyway, Grant, thank you for being here, and Michelle.
25:48Oh, what a lovely thing.
25:49Oh, well, that was nice.
25:50That was nice.
25:51That was nice.
25:52That was nice.
25:53That was nice.
25:54Yeah.
25:55I don't think we do that.
25:56All right.
25:57Now.
25:58Right.
25:59Our fourth team's from Worcestershire and Northamptonshire.
26:01Their father and daughter, Nigel and Zoe Davis.
26:04Right.
26:05There you are.
26:06There you are.
26:07And there you are.
26:08How are you?
26:09Very welcome.
26:10Good, good.
26:11Now, you're Zoe Davis.
26:12Yeah.
26:13And what do you do?
26:14I'm a sales executive for TNT.
26:15I see.
26:16TNT.
26:17Any boyfriend?
26:18Yeah, Anthony Lambert.
26:19I see.
26:20And where did you meet him?
26:21I met him at TNT.
26:22TNT.
26:23I see.
26:24And where did you meet him?
26:25I met him at TNT.
26:26TNT.
26:27I see.
26:28TNT.
26:29Any boyfriend?
26:30Yeah, Anthony Lambert.
26:31I see.
26:32And where did you meet him?
26:33I met him at TNT.
26:34TNT?
26:35Yeah.
26:36I bet you two are dynamite together.
26:37TNT, yes.
26:38I hope he hasn't got a short fuse.
26:41Any ambition at all?
26:43Any ambitions?
26:44I'd like to be married by the age of 30.
26:46Yes.
26:47And do a parachute jump.
26:48Oh, well, you know, getting married and parachute jump, it's the same.
26:51You never know where you're going to land up.
26:54Right, now, were you a nice child?
26:56Because you've got nice blue eyes, like me.
26:59You look so nice.
27:00I wouldn't say nice, really.
27:01Oh, why?
27:02What did you used to do?
27:03I had a particular friend where we used to live when I was younger.
27:06Yeah.
27:07And the ice cream van came round one day, and I said to Mum that I wanted to get an ice
27:11cream for me and her.
27:12Yeah.
27:13She gave me the money, I bought the ice creams and took it round to her.
27:16When I got back home, Mum said, well, did she like her ice cream?
27:19I said, I don't know, she wasn't there, so I put it through the letterbox.
27:23That's lovely.
27:24That's lovely.
27:25Now then, any pets at all?
27:30Yeah, we've got a Cocker Spaniel called Bobby.
27:34Oh, lovely.
27:35Does he do any tricks at all?
27:36Yeah, he's actually got a particular liking for raspberry ruffles.
27:40Raspberry ruffles?
27:41Yeah.
27:42And he goes and gets one when he fancies one.
27:43Yeah.
27:44Brings it to you.
27:45Yeah.
27:46You have to pull the one end while he pulls the other end.
27:48Yeah.
27:49And then he nuzzles the sweet out with his nose.
27:51Oh, that sounds a marvellous trick.
27:52Did you bring him with you?
27:53No, we couldn't.
27:54Oh, good.
27:55You're all right, dogs.
27:57They come and do one trick, bring the house down and I get nothing.
28:00Over to your dad, Nigel.
28:02Correct.
28:03Now, what do you do, Nigel?
28:04I'm an investment consultant for Lloyds Bank.
28:06Oh, I see.
28:07Very good.
28:08You're married to Susan.
28:09Tell us about the honeymoon, Nigel.
28:10Well, on the honeymoon evening, Susan sort of went to bed at 9 o'clock with a wink-wink
28:16and said...
28:17Oh, yes.
28:18See you upstairs.
28:19I'm going to prepare myself.
28:20Correct, but unfortunately, there was Match of the Decade on, so I decided to stay downstairs
28:23and watch that.
28:26So, what happened then?
28:27I mean, what...
28:28Well, she was reading this poor Targets when I got to bed.
28:31But, I mean, what time did you get out of bed?
28:33Oh, 12.30.
28:3412.30?!
28:35It was a good match.
28:36Of course.
28:37Imagine, here's your poor wife.
28:39What's her name?
28:40Susan?
28:41Susan.
28:42Waiting up in bed, going...
28:43Nigel!
28:44Nigel!
28:45Nigel!
28:46Nigel!
28:47Oh!
28:48You once had an experience with an elderly client.
28:51Now, what's all that about?
28:52You've got some strange things.
28:53Well, I had an appointment with this elderly lady.
28:54Yes.
28:55She asked me if I'd like a cup of tea.
28:56And I said, yes, thank you very much.
28:57Yeah.
28:58But, unknown to her, I could see everything she was doing.
29:00Yeah.
29:01And she made the pot of tea, picked up a mug off the draining board.
29:04Yeah.
29:05Tipped out her false teeth and tipped in my tea.
29:09Well, mind you, when I think about it, it's rather posh to have tea with the upper set.
29:14Oh, very nice.
29:16Anyway, Nigel, thank you for being here. Zoe, you're lovely.
29:19Over there, if you will, we've got a game for you to take it.
29:22It's very lovely.
29:23Now, you're lovely.
29:26You're lovely.
29:27Our third game is called Give a Little Whistle.
29:30And here's the lady who's travelled the world with her cabaret act.
29:34Please welcome Dottie Wayne.
29:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
30:43Thank you, my darling.
30:51And how lovely to see you again.
30:54After all these years.
30:55It's many moons since we've worked together, my darling.
30:58I hope this was long again.
30:59Well, so do I, so do I.
31:01But you're whistling so beautifully,
31:02and I know this is just a little insy-mincy part of your cabaret act.
31:06Thank you for letting us borrow just a little bit of it.
31:09And will you come back and do some marking for us?
31:11I will indeed.
31:12I'll take that, don't I?
31:13Yes.
31:13Thank you, Dottie Wayne.
31:15Now, the first one over.
31:16And take the other three round the back
31:18so they can't see what's happening.
31:20Okay.
31:20Now, try to keep in tune.
31:22You know, whistle as loud as you can.
31:24Keep the maracas going all the time.
31:25Okay.
31:26Cue music.
31:27Okay, then.
31:28Good.
31:29Good.
31:45Can you hear a thing?
31:46I can't do it.
31:47Talk about blowing in the wind.
31:51That's it.
31:52Five.
31:53Oh, it's difficult, isn't it?
31:56It's hard.
31:57We shouldn't ask you to do it, but then it is fun.
32:00Come on, if you will, then, Graham.
32:02I'll hold the microphone.
32:04You just face the front, okay,
32:05and concentrate on your whistling
32:06and move your maracas as best you can.
32:10Shut up.
32:11Right.
32:12Cue music.
32:13Away we go.
32:19Would you all come a bit nearer, please?
32:23Would you like a perch?
32:30Could we quieten the music, please?
32:36Coming through there.
32:38Not bad.
32:39Not bad.
32:40Well done.
32:41Over you, Vera, dear.
32:43Coming ahead, Zoe.
32:44Zoe, I know you're going to be good at this.
32:46I could see you laughing during the demonstration.
32:47Okay, you just face the front,
32:50concentrate on your whistling,
32:51keep your maracas moving all the time, dear.
32:53That will confuse everybody.
32:55Okay, are you ready?
32:57Cue music.
33:07You don't have to look demented, dear.
33:09Quieten the music.
33:17Yeah, could you change the note?
33:20Can you go one night?
33:21You can go one night.
33:24Well, child, anyway.
33:26There we are.
33:26Come on.
33:27I can see the confidence oozing out of you.
33:30Right, now, face the front.
33:32I'll take care of the microphone,
33:33keep the maracas moving all the time.
33:35Cue music.
33:36Wonderful, wonderful.
34:02Somebody can do it.
34:04Well done.
34:04Come back here.
34:05Well done.
34:07That was marvellous.
34:09Well, there we are.
34:11Dottie, will you come back and do some marking, darling?
34:14There we are.
34:17There we are, my darling.
34:19Well, a difficult thing to attempt in the first place.
34:22Yes, it was.
34:23We do ask a lot, but what do you think?
34:25Well, Graham,
34:27you were a bit weak with your maracas.
34:30Is that the story of your life?
34:32The whistling wasn't too bad.
34:37Michelle, you were a lovely mover.
34:40And there was a lot of blow there,
34:42but that was about all, really.
34:43Have you seen this?
34:44You've got the wind, really, haven't you?
34:46So, look, I'm giving Graham five.
34:48Yes.
34:48And I'm giving Michelle four.
34:50All right.
34:51Okay, fine.
34:52Jolly good.
34:52Lovely, lovely.
34:54Now then, what about over here?
34:56Well, Zoe, he is rotten because he did make you laugh.
34:59And there are two things that one cannot do in this life
35:02and laugh at the same time,
35:03and one of them's whistling.
35:04But, you know, you did your very best.
35:12It wasn't very good, but you were there.
35:14But Nigel, he's the star.
35:15Oh, well, what a star.
35:16Nigel was a star.
35:17You certainly can whistle.
35:19It may not be the right tune, but...
35:21I was a bit worried what you were going to do
35:23with your maracas, but anyway.
35:25So, I've given Zoe four,
35:26and I've given Nigel seven!
35:28Quite right, too.
35:30Quite right, too.
35:31He stayed for days.
35:32He stayed for days.
35:33Dottie, thank you for being with us, my darling,
35:36and thank you, as I said before,
35:38for letting us borrow a little bit of your cabaret.
35:40It's been a pleasure.
35:41And good luck with all you do.
35:42Thank you, Dottie Wayne!
35:43There we are.
35:45Coming here, my darling.
35:47Now then, what's on the board, Miss Ford?
35:50Well, Graham and Michelle have nine.
35:53Zoe and Nigel have 11.
35:54Oh, 11!
35:55My goodness.
35:56Come all of you over here
35:57and sit yourselves down nice and comfortable.
36:00Where you were sitting before,
36:01stay in the same seats.
36:03Yes, if you will.
36:04Now, we're ready now for game number four,
36:06called Pottery Plank.
36:08Please welcome, from Royal Worcester,
36:10Clive Kenrick.
36:12Well, you carry them, yes.
36:13Yes, but I mean, why do you have to carry them?
36:17I give all my love to everyone at Royal Worcester.
36:21Now, what is your function there?
36:22What is your main job?
36:24China Clay Inspector.
36:25China Clay Inspector.
36:26Well, what you're going to show us
36:27is something to do with the plank and all the pots.
36:30What is it?
36:30Yes, after they leave the inspection area,
36:33they have to go to the kiln for the first firing.
36:35Will you carry them?
36:36I carry them, yes.
36:37Yes, but I mean, why do you have to carry them?
36:39Well, it's a very old company.
36:41I mean, we have very old buildings
36:42with narrow passageways, different levels.
36:44And you have to go upstairs,
36:45different levels around, corridors, doors that I see.
36:49So now show us exactly what you mean by that.
36:52Now watch this very carefully.
36:56You see, one hand underneath there, flat like that.
37:00Make sure you have the hand flat like that
37:01and you balance it.
37:03And you go up the stairs, through the door.
37:08Bend a little there, because it's rather tall.
37:10There, down there, down there, down there.
37:13And there you are.
37:15And it's at the other part of the firm where it belongs.
37:19Ready for the next thing, which is probably the firing.
37:22There we are.
37:23That's all ready for it.
37:26Can you stay with us and do some marking class?
37:28OK, the first couple here, if you will.
37:31Well, first couple here, take the other two round the back
37:33so they can't see what's going on.
37:34You stay here, my darling.
37:35We'll load you up in a minute.
37:37You come here, Graham.
37:37Are you right-handed or left-handed?
37:38Right-handed.
37:39Right, we're going to lift it up.
37:40Now duck, if you will, just down a bit.
37:42Now right on your shoulder.
37:44That's it, like that.
37:45Now tell us if you've got it balanced.
37:46We won't let go until you say it's balanced.
37:49Yes.
37:50Hold it with the other hand
37:51just until we get little Michelle loaded up here as well.
37:54Stand there just for the moment.
37:56Are you right-handed or left-handed?
37:57Yes, I am.
37:57Right-handed, good.
37:58Here we go.
37:59Thanks, Clive.
38:01Over here we come.
38:02I'm going to put it on your right shoulder
38:04and put your hand the way, you know, flat.
38:07Like it was.
38:08That's it.
38:08Exactly like that.
38:09That's fine.
38:10Now, is that balanced all right?
38:11It's all right.
38:12Okay, it's all right.
38:13Fine.
38:13Away you go.
38:14You've got about a minute to do this.
38:16So away you go now.
38:18Up you go.
38:18That's it.
38:20No, you mustn't use the other hand, Graham.
38:23That's it.
38:25Up the stairs.
38:27Good girl.
38:27Well done, Michelle.
38:30Very well done.
38:31That's it.
38:32Now, steady yourself.
38:33Try and get through the door.
38:35That's it.
38:36She's stuck.
38:37Try and get through the door.
38:38That's it.
38:39Away you go.
38:41Let's.
38:42Careful.
38:43That's it.
38:44Just the one hand.
38:48Try and move, darling, through the door.
38:51Yes, okay.
38:52All right.
38:55That's it.
38:56Try and move a little bit.
38:57Careful.
38:58Careful.
38:59Hurry up because...
39:01Good.
39:03Well done.
39:03Well done.
39:04Down the steps.
39:05Well done.
39:05Round here.
39:06That's it.
39:07Go on round there.
39:08That's it.
39:08Come on round here.
39:10You've got just about ten seconds to go.
39:12So, hurry up, my darling.
39:14Hurry up.
39:14That's it.
39:15And try and get him over here.
39:17Over there.
39:18Over there.
39:19Well done indeed.
39:20Well done indeed.
39:23There we are.
39:24Oh, you've got your finger stuck.
39:25Sorry.
39:26Oh, Michelle, a finger stuck there.
39:27All right.
39:35All right.
39:37Come down, class.
39:38And wait over there.
39:40But what a gallant effort, wasn't it?
39:43Come over here.
39:44Come over here and wait here.
39:47Well done, Michelle.
39:48Bad luck, Graham.
39:49Bad luck indeed.
39:50Okay.
39:51Are the other two ready?
39:52Here you come, Nigel.
39:53You just stay here, Zoe, for a minute.
39:54Stay there.
39:55Are you right-handed, left-handed?
39:56Right-handed.
39:56Right-handed, fine.
39:57So turn round, face me.
39:59Don't do anything until I tend here.
40:01OK?
40:01Right.
40:02Now, will you just duck a bit to get duck under here?
40:04We want to put it on your right shoulder.
40:06Now, put your hand the way he had it.
40:08That's exactly right.
40:09That's it.
40:10Like that.
40:11Good.
40:11That feels better, yes?
40:13Good, fine.
40:13OK, now, you come in here, my darling.
40:15Are you right-handed, left-handed?
40:16Right.
40:17Right, OK.
40:18Here we come.
40:19I'll be with you in a second.
40:21There we are.
40:24That's it.
40:25You've got your hand in exactly the right position.
40:26But use your shoulder as well, you see, to balance it.
40:29Let's get it in the middle there.
40:30Probably there will be better for you.
40:32And tell us when you think you've got it balanced.
40:35Yeah.
40:36That feel all right?
40:36Yeah.
40:37OK, you've got about a minute, starting from now.
40:40Away you go.
40:41Good.
40:43OK, off you go there, Nigel.
40:44That's it.
40:48That's it.
40:49Well done.
40:51You're doing very good.
40:52Wait till you're really through.
40:55Wait till you're through.
40:58Good.
40:59Now you turn.
41:00Very good, Zoe.
41:01That's it.
41:02OK, Nigel, in you come.
41:05Zoe through first.
41:09Very good, Zoe.
41:11Round to your right.
41:13That's it.
41:15And Nigel's coming through now.
41:17Well done.
41:18Well done.
41:19Now turn.
41:20Now I sit there.
41:20Oh, round here, dear.
41:21Round here.
41:22Round here, my love.
41:23OK.
41:25Over to here.
41:26You're doing wonderful.
41:28You really are.
41:30You're doing wonderful.
41:31Turn around.
41:32Put them on there.
41:33OK.
41:34Fine.
41:35Yes.
41:37Yep.
41:37Lovely.
41:38That's fine.
41:39That's fine.
41:39Now.
41:39Oh, you just run out of time.
41:45Just run out of time, but well done.
41:47Well done, my little girl's ever.
41:49Yes.
41:49Finish it, because you did very well indeed.
41:52And you were holding back for Zoe there, which was marvellous of you.
41:55Come on.
41:56What marvellous.
41:58Absolutely.
42:00Great control.
42:01For me and me, we've seen a lot of people at rehearsals over the last few days, and you
42:07did that magnificently.
42:09Right.
42:09Will you come back, Clive, and do some marking, if you will?
42:12Very good.
42:15They were very difficult team, but I thought they did very, very well.
42:19Now, what do you think?
42:20Well, Graham, he did get through the archway just about.
42:24He got through the door.
42:24Yeah, two points for the stairs.
42:26Through the door, so he got...
42:27Four points.
42:27Four points.
42:28Good, good.
42:29Michelle did exceptionally well.
42:31Marvellous.
42:32She completed the course, and with all coffee pots intact, so she scored 14.
42:3714.
42:37So as a team, they got...
42:39A total of 18.
42:4018.
42:40Fine.
42:41Very good.
42:41Well done.
42:42Not easy at all.
42:44Marvellous.
42:45What about these, please?
42:46Nigel...
42:47Yes.
42:48...did exceptionally well, completed the course almost.
42:50Yeah, almost.
42:51Just ran out of time.
42:52Yeah, just ran out of time.
42:53So he got...
42:53Nigel scored eight points.
42:55Eight points, yes.
42:56Zoe also did exceptionally well.
42:58Yes.
42:59She completed the course, all six pots intact.
43:01Same as Michelle.
43:02Same as Michelle.
43:03Yes.
43:03Scored 14.
43:0414.
43:05Giving them a total of 22.
43:0722.
43:08Well done, you.
43:09Very, very done.
43:10And, Clive, once again, give my love to you all, we'll stop, and thank you very much for
43:15having a big pleasure.
43:16Thank you, everybody, for sending that to you.
43:18All right.
43:18Thank you, Clive.
43:19Here he goes.
43:20Now then, what's on the board, Ms. Ford?
43:23Well, Graham and Michelle have 27.
43:2627.
43:27Zoe and Nigel have 33.
43:2933.
43:3033.
43:30Well done, you two.
43:33And you're sorry for these, you two, because you did so well.
43:36I think you do get a Generation Game telephone for each of you, and thank you for being a very
43:40important part of our show.
43:42If you'll just pop over there, if you will, you'll be good, and let's remind ourselves
43:47of who you'll be playing in our grand final.
43:51Come along, thank you.
43:53Have we got a grand final for you?
43:56All right, then.
43:56All you need is rhythm, poise, and personality, right?
44:00I'll say no more.
44:01Here's a clue.
44:03Wilson, Keppel, and Rosie.
45:42And thank you, Rosie, as always.
45:55You were a delight.
45:56And so, Easton, so Easton.
45:58Oh, muah.
46:00I think I'm on a promise.
46:01Right.
46:02And thank you, uh, thank you, uh, just a minute.
46:07Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
46:09No, sir.
46:09I have never been there.
46:12Right.
46:13Hold on, hold on, you look a bit like Paxo.
46:17You know, the South American who's always dancing with my wife.
46:21What's your name?
46:22Must-ha-far.
46:24Oh.
46:25You must have a double.
46:26Anyway, this young man is appearing in the West End in Slimy, uh, sorry, Grease.
46:32Sorry, sorry, I'll do that again.
46:34This slimy young man, he is appearing in Grease, and it is, of course, that gifted actor and
46:43the dancer supreme, Mr. Richard Calkin.
46:46Richard, we thank you.
46:48Very much indeed.
46:49Yeah.
46:50Lovely, lovely.
46:52Next.
46:55The name of this original act was Wilson, Keppel and Betty, who traveled the variety halls for
47:01over 30 years.
47:02And they have many Bettys, but we have with us tonight, in the audience, the last Betty
47:07that ever worked with them.

47:38It is heads.
47:39You've lost the toss, so do you want to go first or second?
47:42Second.

47:43You want to think about it?
47:44OK, you two go over there and get yourselves ready.

51:38We all gots.
51:39That's it.
51:40Come over here, my loves, and come back the first couple, will you?
51:43Lovely, lovely, lovely.
51:44You were all good.

51:56And come back the first couple, will you?
51:58Lovely, lovely.
51:59Lovely, lovely, lovely.
52:00You were all...
52:01What about...
52:02They were all so wonderful.
52:03I would go at this.
52:04I tell you.
52:05Absolutely marvellous.
52:07And now...
52:08Are you all right, my darling?
52:10Yes.
52:11You're all right.
52:12He's shot on your toe.
52:13Oh, dear.
52:14Well, at least it wasn't your tassel.
52:16Now to judge this, one of the most talented performers,
52:20whether it's instrumental or dancing,
52:22please welcome Mr. Roy Castle.
52:25Yes, yes.
52:26Yes, yes.
52:34Come in the middle.
52:35Come in the middle.
52:36And give them a closer.
52:37That's it.
52:38Give them a closer, all of your lovely.
52:39Well...
52:40They were.
52:41I mean, to throw them into the deep end.
52:43Oh, it's not easy, is it?
52:44We were a bit cruel sometimes.
52:45I know.
52:46But they are marvellous, you see.
52:47Last time I did a sound dance was with Eric Morecambe and Arthur Askey.
52:50Oh, no.
52:51Yeah.
52:52It must have been maths.
52:53In Coventry, yeah.
52:54Oh, I could imagine.
52:55Oh, yeah, you did a seasoning in Coventry.
52:56That's right, yeah.
52:57That's right.
52:58Wilson Keppel and Arthur, it's right.
52:59Wilson Keppel and Arthur.
53:00Oh, Wilson Keppel and Arthur.
53:01Well, but what did you think of them?
53:02Well, I think they did very well,
53:03because, as you say, it's not easy to do, is it?
53:05No, not to get up and just...
53:06And, er...
53:07I think they did very well with the tassels there.
53:09Yes.
53:10Yes.
53:11Yes, I mean.
53:12You can sell her out as air-conditioning.
53:14What?
53:17If we'd had some sand, you'd have had a sandstorm going on.
53:22Yes.
53:23You were very pleasant,
53:24but normally they did it deadpan, didn't they?
53:26Yes.
53:27Well, he kind of stopped smiling.
53:28I know, I know.
53:29Earlier on, he was talking about his average day
53:31and he's laughing all the time.
53:32Yeah.
53:33He's working like a dog.
53:34He had a great finish.
53:35You didn't see that, did you?
53:36No, what did he do?
53:37Oh, he upstaged you.
53:38Oh, did he?
53:39Yeah, he went,
53:40Yeah.
53:41I didn't see that.
53:42Well, that, to you, is it?
53:43Yeah.
53:44Nobody upstages...
53:45Oh, sorry.
53:50So, I think they did well.
53:51And then, Zoe's got some of the steps going quite well.
53:53Oh, she did, actually.
53:54Yes.
53:55I noticed that when I was facing the other way.
53:56And, er...
53:57And she had a different...
53:58Used a different tassel.
53:59Yes, she did.
54:00I noticed that one.
54:01Yeah, she did really have a go with that one.
54:02Yes.
54:03Yeah.
54:04And then, actually,
54:05you got quite a few of the steps going, didn't you?
54:07You did.
54:08You probably didn't know it.
54:09But...
54:11But he did.
54:12Yeah.
54:13He was doing very well.
54:14So, it was really, really close.
54:16Yeah.
54:17And it's very entertaining.
54:18I think I have to give you 17 points.
54:20And I think I have to give you 18.
54:23Oh, very close.
54:24Very close indeed.
54:25Oh, very close indeed.
54:26Very close indeed.

54:39Yes.
54:40And so it should do.
54:41And with you at the helm, when is it coming back?
54:43Well, it's sort of on now.
54:44Oh, sorry.

54:46No.
