Thames who had created the 'Lucky' name didn't want to hand it over to LWT. So LWT had to use something and given the increase in jackpots used the "original" format name.
Also thinking on. Yet another example of a US format taking hold over here than in its home country.
Was this show an LWT production? I clearly recall the set in TLS studio 1 but I’m not sure it was actually produced by LWT. Perhaps a commission of some sort or perhaps I am just simply mis-remembering? I guess the Colour Prod would be definitive.
Barrymore recorded an entire series of People/Children do the funniest thing in Studio 1 just before the furore erupted around him. I don’t think it was ever broadcast.
