patiirc Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Who was the bloke that co-hosted the original lottery show with Angela Turner? I wanna say Noel Edmonds hosted the first one, with Anthea Turner... Angela died when that motorcycle smashed out the back of that truck Nah it was a fat scottish bloke I was thinking of. Maybe Noel Edmonds did the first one but he took over soon after. I think he was in that "the Queen" film with Helen Mirren. Gordon Kennedy.. Scottish Comic. iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Galt Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Winning Lines, especially the final round with the CinemaScope size screen, was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmcstyles Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 I remember liking Winning Lines, but I can't remember what it was about. Explain. Round 1 49 contestants took part in this round, but only six would move on to round two. The host reads a question that can be answered by a number from 1 to 49. Anyone who thinks that their own number is the answer buzzes in. If the owner of that number buzzed, he or she moves on to round two. Anyone who buzzed but was wrong is eliminated. If the owner didn't buzz, but should have, he or she is out. This process repeats until 6 people qualify for the second round. The last digit from each of the winner's numbers are shown at the end of the show. If all 6 numbers match the last 6 digits of your phone number in any order then you can call in to try and appear on the next show. In series two onwards, this changed to the host asking the 49 contestants a question with a number for an answer. The contestants use keypads to enter their answers, and whoever is correct in the fastest time moves on to the second round. Contestants do not have to play a question and wrong answers eliminates all those who give them. This continues until six have qualified for the next round. All of the remaining 43 contestants are eliminated. Round 2 - Looking After Number One Each contestant carries their number from round one with them to round two. Schofield (or Mayo) asks questions that can be answered by one of the six numbers in play. Contestants buzz in to answer the question. A right answer means that the owner of that number is eliminated, unless the person who buzzed in had the number; in that case no one is eliminated. If the contestant is wrong, regardless of whose number the answer is, he or she is eliminated. This goes on until one contestant is remaining. The winner plays the Wonderwall for a grand prize trip. Bonus Round - The Wonderwall The champion is asked as many questions as possible in three minutes, the answers to which appear on three projection screens and are numbered 1-49. When answering, players must give both the number and its answer before moving onto the next question. Each answer wins a better trip as follows, and 20 correct answers wins a three-week trip around the world. Players were given 15 seconds to check out the answers on display before beginning the round as well as two "pit stops", each of which froze the timer for 15 seconds. During Schofield's run, the winner of the grand prize then played the Wonderwall again (on the same day as the Wednesday Lotto draw) to win as much spending money as possible. Right answers were worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmcstyles Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Where did you get them for the PC mate, i'd be interested in those? I believe I got them from demonoid a while back. Poll now added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Dude Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Who Dares Wins due to me being a massive fan of random knowledge, and 1 vs 100 for being brilliant These for me as well. Went for The Rich List even though it has gained some unnecessary punctuation in the poll. It's a great 'play along at home' format that's had me shouting at the telly on many an occasion. Dermot was great on 1 vs 100 but it's just edged out by throwing in a few too many arbitrary game changers. As others have said, it works best on quiz machines in the pub. Have a soft spot for Secret Fortune, but you shouldn't be able to win the top prize by only getting 2 questions right out of 11. Plus, one Nick Knowles hosting gig is enough for the lottery lest the Beeb and Camelot think he's what makes the shows popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
