So one of the HOTTEST Youtube channels around at the moment is gbgameshows who very recently has uploaded some really interesting stuff -we’d mentioned Connections previously, and in the last few days has uploaded an episode of Play Your Cards Right from 1987, a Jeopardy from 1995 and the motherlode, an episode of The Krypton Factor from 1983 which I think is now the earliest one on Youtube. UNLESS YOU KNOW BETTER.

Some excellent finds! Interesting to note how the Krypton remake was actually using ‘canon’ when it re-introduced individual questions for the observation test, as well as using a TV clip rather than a specially-designed one.
I had to have a shower after that episode of Jeopardy! The lowpoint of the mid-90s at its very lowest. The music and sound effects were particularly ill-fitting.
I would love to see a first series ep, I read somewhere it had a ‘personality’ round where you had to make a funny poem about an event in the news.
I also want to see the German version, The Krypton Faktor, which did its assault course in an abandoned steelworks, and had eight rounds. There did used to be some poor quality clips on Youtube.
Not a video, but here is an account of the various rounds in Faktor.

It never occurred to me to split out response into two rounds when messing around with Krypton Formats before.
Ratings haven’t come out for Rising Star US last night, but the time zones came into play- the first performer (69% in the East) and the last performer (68% East) were both saved by the West Coast (71% and 70% respectively)…
Here’s something I never knew existed.
Ha! Awesome, can’t say i’ve seen it before either.
I remember watching that originally thinking when it was introduced on the night, that it would be a bog standard edition being played by celbs/sports stars for Comic Relief – not for out and out laughs.
A rare sighting of a tv programme production team launching an unprovoked assult on themselves. A beat perfect spoof – although some would argue the real editions were about silly as this.
