Cannon and Ball's Casino

Host

Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball

Broadcast

ITV, 1990

Synopsis

It's a little known fact that Cannon and Ball own a licence to run a casino. Little-known, that is, because it isn't actually true. Ah well.

Three couples answered general knowledge questions to win money in casino style games. The first round was the Fruit Machine where top of the range BBC Micro graphics would show money amounts or a prize. Whichever one mysteriously lined up, as they always did (C&B obviously running a loss leader, there) would be what that question was worth.

Ball and Cannon, in that order

In-between rounds there would be some variety acts.

In the final round there would be one couple left who would hopefully 'open the safe' (by answering some more general knowledge questions) and win a car.

Not nearly as good as it could have been.
