Remembering all the old game and quiz shows brings to mind all the old phrases used that I recall people using during ordinary day-to-day conversations. I still hear 'Rock on Tommy', (cringe).

Does anyone on the forum still use any phrases or even lines from programmes?

Nope.... Not even "nice to see you, to see you, NICE!" that Bruce Forsyth does.

There are also a couple of carpet fitters who do the, 'to you, to me' routine.

Panda, since reading that "You can't beat a bit of bully" has become my new catchphrase.

Useful for so many occasions!

"It does exactly what it says on the tin"

that phrase is used all the time everywhere. Its obviously a really useful phrase to have taken hold so quickly.

I loved the phrase that Rod Serling used to introduce many of 'The Twilight Zone' stories....

"Respectfully submitted for your perusal ...."

And then would follow a brief intro to the story to follow. Excellent!

Or there was "Don't touch the pack, we'll be right back!"

I preferred the Dolly Dealers myself. ;)

Yes, I think the Bullseye catchphrases are amongst my favourites.

Here is a few others:

Super, smashing, great

Look at what you could have won

And Bully's Special Priiiize.

Stay out of the black and into the red, Nothing in this game for two in a bed

:D

I must admit that I do the "ehhh... errrrrrr" noise when ever anyone answers a question wrong that I ask them :lol:

You see I'm one of those people whose brains are full of useless information that nobody else in the family knows, and I pride myself on being a bit of a well, clever sod if you'll pardon the language :P

I had the "ehhh... errrrrrr" noise on a WAV file on the pc and set up up so that when you made a mistake in windows it went "ehhh... errrrrrr"

I think it was Stu Francis.

Wasn't it "Wreck a dolls house"?

And wasn't "Rip a tissue" one of them also?

And not forgetting: "ooh I could wrestle an Action Man"

Does anyone remember Paul Merton ribbing Angus Deayton because his catchphrase had become "in what way?"

Which was surely one of the worst catchphrases ever!
