ITV's Blockbusters - Series 11 Episode 1 - 18th April 1994 (HD)

In 1994, Sky One created a new series with original host, Bob Holness. It was produced by Central, which had made the programme since 1983, and sponsored by Thomas Cook. Sky One brought the series back again in 2000, this time produced by Grundy (which owned the format) and presented by Liza Tarbuck, but it failed to capture the same degree of popularity as the Holness incarnation. The format stayed the same in both versions.

“Can I have an F please bob?”
“Yes but I don’t have time to give it to you.”

It’s the silly joke that never gets old..

It’s good to see that Central were allowed the production credit for Blockbusters on Sky One. Bob Warman’s Price is Right in 1989 was clearly produced by Central but it was credited to Talbot Television instead.

It's odd to figure these late-teens in 1994 are now close to 50 years old in 2023.

Ooof they really butchered the theme music on this version didn't they.

The £5 bonus question was an interesting additional element for this series. I don't understand why that feature wasn't adopted for the Michael Aspel, Liza Tarbuck or Simon Mayo eras. Also, for any those versions the prize money won could of at least been increased a little, such as £10 for each correct answer in the main game and £25 for each correct answer after an incomplete Gold Run.

Actually this is the sky one’s version of the show because of the intro music also the show ended on itv a few months prior (maybe 1995?) and plus I’ve just noticed that the central end card doesn’t have “for itv” underneath “a central production” edit: I’ve just realised it was 1994 when it ended on itv and I’ve read the description

Do you have anymore Blockbusters episodes from Series 10 & 11?

Is that the hand jive I can hear at 0:08 in the intro?

[gbasource]

Didn't they used to do a weird dance at the end of the episodes?
