With nothing on decided to watch original series with David frost on challenge,I've been amazed by how much I'm enjoying it,incredibly strong panel I'm not quite sure why Anna Raeburn got me all excited must have had a forgotten crush. The biggest surprise we're the contestants so far I've recognised every single one apart from the Duchess of argyle but even this was entertaining with a bit of Googling,compared with the new strictly where I knew 3,I even guessed uri geller after just seeing the crystals, most of David Frosts interviews are informative you can laugh at the dated technology in the houses and you can get extra entertainment by guessing if the celebrities are dead or alive I remember I only got through 1 episode of the Keith lemon ones and will give those a one.it's a bit of an insult you've put his picture on the show.

Loved this when first on and was concerned how it would have aged but the first series did not disappoint and I was amazed how many plots and characters I remembered I did have a laugh that Abbey seemed more miserable in Tarrant than a Japanese prisoner of war camp.but it dropped off fast the second series was like a different show and the emphasis shifts from Tom and boating to Charles his father and Ken's business back stabbing indeed it felt like Dallas with 3 evil businessmen and 2 nice businesswomen but as a viewer I never felt invested in any of the plots as they rolled through and were then forgotten by the cast and me and the next boring deal arrived Watching one episode after the other jack's I build wooden boats spiel got very tiresome he hardly had a genuine conversation with anyone indeed the script overall is incredibly poor never seems to develop the story or go anywhere I must commend the female casting their was certainly enough variety to keep all the dads and sons happy to watch,my favourite must have been Sarah Jane Varley as I recognised her immediately despite never seeing her in anything else.
