20 - The Price is Right

Next up we have yet another entry hosted by Bruce Forsyth - I did say he has a long standing career with an abundance of hosting roles so he will feature a fair few times in this list.  Bruce's Price Is Right is the version for me that is most memorable although there were other hosts before him.  The show is based on the original American series of the same name, and followed a near identical format.

Contestants competed to guess the price of items on the show, the person who guessed closest won the round.  There were various rounds including various mini-games but ultimately the contestants made it to the 'Big Wheel' where they spun a large numbered wheel and tried to total 100 in one spin or a combination of two spins.  The contestant who made it through got to see the showcase, a large collection of prizes the grand total of which they had to guess.

The thing that I loved most about this game show was that it really highlighted the difference between price and worth - in that you had to guess the price as opposed to the worth, you may see something that you thought was crap or just a bit shit, but you still had to guess what price it would be given, often leaving you thinking "oh that would sell for X, its not worth that though" and my gosh they didn't half have some tat on that show looking back on it now its incredible.

No entry would be complete without a video and for this show there are quite a few full episodes on Youtube so enjoy!
