@@ghaithkalamn7947 just google Blockbusters quiz book 1 and you will find it.

I remember a Scottish lad on this show in the mid '80s. He was such a smart ass contestant and would answer his questions with such arrogance. There was a question with the letters BBYD, which went a bit like - what a little boy might say to his pal while playing Cowboys & Indians. He answered with such disgust in his tone, as if to say how dare you ask me such an easy question, and even stuck his own word at the beginning when he said "Oh Bang Bang You're Dead!" I've been looking for it on YT for years but still haven't found it.

The Blockbusters theme music is S tier.. So good.

Everything about this show is just so warm, from the analogue nature of the board to the way that Bob says "You dare!" when the lad almost picked the J. Interestingly, this did happen in one episode, there was a neutral square, but the contestants filled up the entire board as they were the first, and last ones to ever do this.

loved this show

I watched the original USA version in the 1980's, which Bill Cullins originally hosted. It's a fine show.

Have taken part when Bob conducted it in Dubai in early 80s [Courtesy: KT?!?. And, later in the local version "Capital Letters" at Ajman Studios. Good memories.

Alternative title: Are Two Heads Better Than One?

Here today 😊

Not often a question is incorrect. The question was “what did Neil Armstrong say was a small step for Man….” and they interrupted with the answer ‘step’. The question should have said “what did Neil Armstrong say was a small step for a man…”. If he had really said “for Man” then it wouldn’t make sense! It would have him saying “This is one small step for Man(kind) but one giant leap for Mankind”.

Bob - will have a Pee until cannot Pee no more.
