Give Us a Clue [DVD]

Product Information

Norman Vaughan stood in for Blair for four episodes in the second series and Joyce Blair stood in for Stubbs for the 1981 Royal Wedding special. And probably the first transmitted during the daytime: the team captains now say "and on my team today" instead of "tonight".

Then comes his turn and he throws himself into it with such enthusiastic physicality each and every time. British TV panel games aren’t usually prime candidates for physical media, as they’re a little bit like a newspaper; Viewed once then discarded forever. This DVD Inner and Outer SleeveFor this specific sale the DVD's sleeve condition refers only to the inner paper insert sleeve, and does not refer to the outer digipak, jewel case or cardboard outer casing.This takes away the fun of watching the mute performer trying to get them back to the word already mentioned, and it also deprives the better players the chance to do the "recap" motion, where the team - led by the person performing - go over what they know so far. Many of my favourite moments in the 1988 series have come from simply watching Lionel leaning back in his chair and cackling at something.

Liza is great, but one thing I've noticed is that each time she's given her card with the title she has to perform she reacts as if it's the most difficult one anyone has ever been given. And yet when watching others she was incredibly switched on and knowledgeable and frequently put the pieces together far more quickly than her teammates. This version of the format feels like they tried to find a way to include the audience, but it doesn’t quite fully fit. There are a number of set gestures which can be used, such as book, television, film, but the rest are totally open to interpretation which leads to a large amount of hilarity as you can well imagine.The show’s loose demeanour leaves things open for all kinds of double entendres and unexpected moments; Actor Tony Selby’s reaction to being asked to mime the Australian TV series Chopper Squad; The unique Kenneth Williams, channelling his Just a Minute energy for all kinds of witty quips; Every time Una Stubbs plays a round; David Jason’s very verbal and physical prescience; Michael Aspel’s quick thinking.

There's been a big jump in available episodes (or at least in episodes I can find) and I've leapt into Series Six. So, you’ve got, say, an air steward and a marketing expert appearing with the likes of Faith Brown and Kenneth Williams. The outer casing is replaceable and has no value and is provided within this sale as packaging only. Watching some more episodes I've found myself thinking there's also less rehearsal time for the daytime version.For example, who would have thought Doctor Who’s Jon Pertwee (Third Doctor) and Peter Davison (Fifth Doctor) teamed up with Geoffrey from Rainbow? I've watched a couple of his episodes now and he strikes a great balance between playing to win and being lighthearted and sporting.

And then came the moment when his mime for Nut Rocker gave me the biggest laugh of my entire watch - tears, belly crunches and all. The infamous 24-word song titles they'd reserve for some comedian to mime (which, surprisingly, they'd normally get after word 3). Region 2: Region 2 titles are suitable for England and Europe and will only play in Australia and New Zealand if you have a MULTI-REGION DVD player or a Region 2 DVD player. Sadly Network, the company who produced these dvds, is now defunct, which leaves a gap in the market, so you may have to hunt around for a copy.I've just watched the immortal episode in which Roy Kinnear's I Can't See My Little Willy was followed immediately by Barbara Windsor's Kisses On The Bottom.
