<p>Hello, welcome and finalise your answers for another showdown between two game shows just minding their business but happen to have something in common. Or at least they sort of do as this week <strong>Ben Baker</strong> and <strong>Christine Coulson</strong> are putting two very different kinds of quiz against each other under the heading of "<strong>STARMAKERS</strong>": meaning shows that made their hosts a household name. </p> <p>We start with squeaky bum time as <strong>Magnus Magnusson</strong> helms the original <strong>"Mastermind"</strong> then its onto the 90s for the day-glo daytime madness of <strong>Dale Winton</strong> on<strong> "Supermarket Sweep"</strong>. Questions are answered, brows are furrowed, friendships are broken and aisles are gotten wild in. Just make sure not to drop anything on the way...</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch the episode of <strong>Mastermind</strong> we reviewed here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgO78iElHOs ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgO78iElHOs </a></p> <p>Watch the episode of <strong>Supermarket Sweep </strong>we reviewed here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-oL33gyK8U">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-oL33gyK8U</a></p>

<p>Pubs! Remember them? With their sticky carpets, awkward toilet conversations and <strong>Deal or No Deal </strong>fruit machines just waiting to fleece you of your pound coins. They're also home to many different games and so, with people slowly returning inside bars, that's what we're paying tribute to today with darts vs snooker (there's sadly yet to be a full shove ha'penny series...) represented by two legends of lager-swilled leisure - <strong>BULLSEYE </strong>and <strong>BIG BREAK</strong>. </p> <p>Can a bad host sink an actually good series? What is <strong>Bully</strong> up to in the advertisement break? How can an audience look entirely made up of murderers and their victims? How many balls could you pot as you can? How does <strong>Mike Batt</strong> fit into all this? And what IS behind <strong>Bully's Special Prize </strong>curtain?

<p>We asked 100 people...and over seven responded with something other than court proceedings! Yes, its time once again to check with the results of the listener poll of <strong>Pointless</strong> vs<strong> Family Fortunes</strong> and read your feedback. To get a bit of perspective on the Lord <strong>Bob</strong> era <strong>Fortunes</strong> we decided to view a 1983 episode of its originator <strong>Family Feud</strong> and....well, lets just say there's opinions. And kissing. Too much kissing.<br> <br> NOTE: We had a few issues with Ben's side of the recording on this one and even with the genius <strong>Dr </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/Pablovich"><strong>Paul Abbott</strong> </a>blessing it with his special production glitter it's still not in as high quality as we'd normally like. A big thanks to him and to you for getting involved! </p>
