Sac, Blockbusters, I Will Get Tattoed

the quiz show in the middle of the song... i don't understand it.

the questions and the answers somehow don't fit together but it doesn't sound as if it was cut up or something - or maybe i just don't get it right because my english is extremely crappy.

the quizmaster asks about the name of the band of bob marley that begins with "w", the answer would be "wailers" but the female candidate answers something different and he says it's right??

and then the question is about "a garden flower..." and the answer is "football"?

well i don't understand some passages at all so maybe i misunderstood the whole game?

It's just chopped up. Not really that difficult to do but it IS well done and quite seamless!

Yeah, it's obviously chopped up for fun. The gameshow, hosted by Bob Honess, was on after school (when I remember it) and featured kids aged 16-18. Each letter was a hexagon (!) ona board and when you answered the question right it changed colour (blue or white). The object was to get a line of your colour from from side to the other (or top to bottom). starngely it was played 2 against 1. I suppose the idea was that you got more prize if you played alone. O loved it. Bob was just cheesey enough and got the balance of stern uncle and friendly dude just right. The kids had their own cheeky puns like "Can I have U please Bob", "I think I need a P, Bob" and the non-more early ninties zeitgeist "Can I have an E please Bob". Priceless. One of things I liked was watching it each day and hoping the pretty girl would keep winning or that those annoying twats would loose. The music is amongst my all time favourite TV themes too.

I think BOC probably enjoyed itoo and just wanted to have a bit of fun, plus the heaxgons were key to the gampeplay. I've just had a thought. What if one of the brothers was actually on it...

Ah okay, sounds fun... I considered it being chopped up myself but I wasn't really convinced of it because it sounded like one coherent recording.

I always used to want the double team to get knocked out; either that or that they'd win shit prizes, as I could never figure out why it was so unfairly weighted. If I remember rightly Bob once said that it was to see if two heads were better than one. Bollocks.

Someone I knew from my school went on once (he was solo). He fluffed one goldrun and then get knocked out. My school must have been shit as we got hammered on Cheggars Plays Pop as well.

it's very obviously cut up

i mean

come on man

wtf

the conflicting answers are a dead give away and good fun, but the chop is quite seamless really. the fact that he calls the same girl 2 different names (kathy twice and sally once) took me a while to pick up on.

and what an acid trip of a post by 'the rabbit'.... how's the hole? i'll meet you down there...

sorry, i meant *sarah, not sally.

Ha, I never noticed the name change. The giveaway for me was always "football". There's a break in the ambience or something.

sounds about right... the ambiance of my quiet sunday afternoons growing up in my parents house was often broken by "football" and the competitive shrieks that went with it, innit

also, "a garden flower with bight orange pedals"'s significance is later indicated by the title of the vignette "it's too orangey" as well as the letter 'M' for the brother Sandisons, as indicated in their Peel session interview

Winning.

On a side note: Is Matthew Holness really Bob Holness's son?

I think the Matthew Holness thing was a myth.

This was a fun thread to read lol

i was talking about the personal significance the color orange has for the brothers, not culture at large

Yeah but "it's too orangey" is named after that advert.
