    Slight corrections
    I must slightly correct my fellow poster. True, this was naff, but the first host was not Bob Monkhouse, but Jackie Rae. Also, only old fogies like me remember that the original catchphrase was "Heinz The Bolt", before Bernie came along, although I vaguely recall Heinz making a comeback for one show.

    Part of the show's charm, apart from its naffness (many things went wrong when it was on live), was Anne Aston's struggles with mental arithmetic!

    Oddly enough, this is one show which I would love to see return, but sadly I don't see it happening. 30 years on, I suspect the "powers that be" would be too safety conscious about cameras dressed up as crossbows!
