Surprise Me!

Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game - S5, Ep 12 (Nov 26th 1994)

2025-10-11 142 Dailymotion

Today's contestants are Stan & Amanda Short from Middlesex, Tudor & Anwen Tudor-Evans from Wales, Peppy & Kern Yates from Yorkshire, and Janet & Mick Myring from Surrey. And hosting the show is...Jim Davidson! Yes, in a surprise twist for audiences Brucie was ill, so Jim was called to take over temporarily with regular assistant Rosemary Ford and it was on the strength of his performance here that he got the job permanently when Bruce stepped down later that year. Jim is certainly quick with the repartee and a bundle of energy - probably too much at times for the contestants - and doesn't make light of his recent headlines in the newspapers regarding his "four weddings and a punch up" as he termed it. Mind you, neither do the show's makers, who deliberately pick such games as "The Laughing Policeman" (with Frank Carson), "Sporting Bits" (guess the sportsman's voice to the sport), "Chicken Routine" (with Norman Collier and where one woman looks mortified at having to do this), and Bread Dough making before the surviving two teams head off in a catwalk finale. But who will be strutting their stuff to the conveyor belt of prizes? Watch on and find out...
