(diff) (hist) . . Index B‎; 23:12 . . (0) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (→Shows: Bury Your Hatchet should precede all the "Bus" shows, and The Bunker: Crisis Command (as it was piloted) should precede all the "Bur" shows ;))
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 22:46 . . (+3) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (→Synopsis: British *TV* game show, I should probably clarify)
(diff) (hist) . . Wheel of Fortune (2)‎; 22:31 . . (+164) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (→Jackpot!: continuing the series numbers, it was 7, 8, 9 and 10 in which the contestant played for £20k or the car)
(diff) (hist) . . Wheel of Fortune (2)‎; 22:16 . . (+167) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (→Jackpot!: ...but then, of course, along came Raise the Roof)
(diff) (hist) . . Wheel of Fortune (2)‎; 22:08 . . (+89) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (→Jackpot!: viewers of Pot of Gold could win up to £25,000. WoF series 6's occasional package of two cars and £10,000 can't have been far off that figure, if indeed not bigger...)
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 21:42 . . (+148) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (→Synopsis: if the jackpot total matched what was on your game card, you stood to win up to £25k - which, in fact, was the biggest jackpot offered on a British game show at the time)
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 21:26 . . (+17) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (→Synopsis: the highest-scoring act *did* go through to an "all-winners" final, and won a grand too)
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 21:08 . . (+89) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (→Synopsis: fifty pounds was the prize for you if an act's total score matched that on your game card. You had to write in to claim it, though)
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 20:29 . . (+30) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (Here's the logo, in the correct 4:3 aspect ratio ;))
(Upload log); 20:27 . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) uploaded "File:PotOfGold.jpg" (People are coming, everyone's trying, trying to be the best that they can, on the ITV show Pot of Gold... well, Grundy were involved in this show too ;))
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 19:56 . . (+41) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (I note that Colin Keyes, who did the Des O'Connor Tonight theme and provided that show's orchestra, was "Musical Associate". Actually wondering now, was *he* PoG's composer with Monk merely arranging?)
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 19:30 . . (+32) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (→Trivia: the gradual Carltonisation of Central resulted in The Television House being renamed accordingly, of course, although Pot of Gold had disappeared from the airwaves by then)
(diff) (hist) . . News Archive‎; 19:01 . . (-30) . . Iweaver (Talk | contribs) (→Game show news: "airing in February", and elide year to the front.)
(diff) (hist) . . m News Archive‎; 18:57 . . (-1) . . Iweaver (Talk | contribs) (→Game show news: apostrophe)
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 18:42 . . (+179) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (Also, Des appeared "by arrangement with Thames Television". They'd lost their ITV franchise but were still producing Des O'Connor Tonight, so I guess the contract he had with them still applied)
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 18:31 . . (+148) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (Central, mid '90s... ergo it was made in Nottingham. ;) Obvious to us game show fans, but of course *not* every reader is a game show fan. Plus, it wasn't produced *solely* by Central)
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 17:59 . . (+88) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) ("Musical Director" was more often than not the composer's credit on Central's game shows, wasn't it? Mike Alexander was credited as such on FF, and so too Paul Maguire on Leslie's Price is Right...)
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 17:51 . . (+29) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (→Synopsis: Ray Monk did this show's theme, and he also did an arrangement of Des's own theme for Take Your Pick. Can't imagine that was a coincidence... ;))
(diff) (hist) . . Robin Houston‎; 17:47 . . (+17) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (→Shows: add Pot of Gold to the already impressive list of shows for which Robin has provided his voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NerzadYc5Fw)
(diff) (hist) . . Pot of Gold‎; 17:45 . . (+46) . . Deselmes (Talk | contribs) (There's a full ep on YouTube, even though it has been stretched to fill the 16:9 frame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NerzadYc5Fw. But thanks to it, we can now add this show to Robin Houston's CV)
