RE: The TV Gameshow Thread - Brekkie - 23-01-2024
I'm guessing this week was the first time it ever topped the weekly ratings too (with 8.2m). Heartbeat was the regular weekly chart topper for the week in the 90s with close to 20m viewers.
I always assumed the BBC line up of Generation Game/House Party/Casualty generally beat the ITV combination of Gladiators/Blind Date/Family Fortunes but don't think there was much in it.

Watching The Chase today, I noticed that the voiceover recorded for one of the contestants' buzzers - Latif - seemed to be quite muffled. Presumably it was one that was recorded at short notice.

And because it's an unusual name. They can probably reuse common ones like John or Lisa, but it's likely that name hasn't come up before and required a new recording.

So Gladiators has gone from 8th most popular programme on a Saturday night in 1998 to biggest programme across the whole week in 2024

You joke but funnily enough the National Lottery itself is essentially getting a 2024 'revival' as the new Allwyn operator take over from 1st February!
