Lucky Ladders
Synopsis
The man of knitted sweatshirts came back to host this early morning game show. Couples would attempt to win points by working out words on the Lucky Ladder. The top word and bottom words were given but they had to work out the rest. There was a connection between words on the ladder, not necessarily common throughout the whole ladder - just an association between connecting words. An example would be POLISH - FRENCH - CHALK - CALCIUM - TEETH - SAW - LOOK - STARE
Players could opt to "give" or "take" letters (i.e. usual play-or-pass tactics) in order to work out what those words are.
Key moments
When losing the contestants won their "fabulous" Lucky Ladders trophies, which looked to consist of a gold-painted ladder on a piece of white polystyrene. Of course, things always look better on TV than they really are.
Trivia
When the show started, the contestants had to give back their fantastic Lucky Ladders trophies because they only had seven made for TV purposes. They were posted on to them later.
It was Britain's most-watched daytime game show at the time (it says here).
Based on the US show Chain Reaction.
