..it's all true, for years You Bet was THE diamond in the big, shiny, intricate crown that is British Saturday night television. The premise of the show is well documented here and I will not repeat what has been said. My favourite "bet" of all time saw a man make 30 clay pots in 3 minutes. Anyone who has even a basic interest in pottery will understand how difficult that would be. ...but that was the joy of "You Bet" - it featured real life, miracle makers. The man who lived up the street who could use a fork lift truck to turn a magazine page. The cultural importance of this programme cannot and should not be underrated. I knew people (without video recorders) who would literally postpone their holiday's so as not to miss an episode. It touched people and was a real pre-cursor to all these interactive gameshows as featured on digital TV nowadays. One evening, I ran up a debt of over £10 with my brother simply because I thought it was impossible for British astrologist Patrick Moore to play the xylophone in the buffet car of a British Rail train....
Life affirming, truly original TV. BRING IT BACK !!!
