About this deal

There is also a vintage Blankety blank game for sale, I can’t link them for some reason so photos instead. And it all started with *that* theme tune, the one that went "Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank (Boom Boom), Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank (Boom Boom)" for about five years which we suppose was dead handy if you suffered from amnesia and forgot which programme you were currently watching.

On Lily Savage's Blankety Blank, the contestant with the highest Supermatch score or winner of a tiebreaker played the head-to-head round for an additional prize. You could also use our Editable Blank Board Game Template to get your child to do activities around your home. Dawson drew attention to the fact that the prizes were less-than-mediocre, not pretending that the show had "fabulous prizes" as others did, but making a joke of it, such as referring to them as "fire salvaged" prizes. For instance, some of the steps on your board game could require them to do something, like make their bed in 5 minutes or make sure their shoes are neatly put in pairs in 3 minutes. Blankety Blank is a British comedy game show which started in 1979 and is still running today, albeit with some sizeable gaps.Whoever trailed after this opening salvo went first in the second round, where they'd only play with the celebs with whom they didn't match in the first round. An outtake that was shown on the BBC's 'Auntie's Bloomers' showed a technician trying to deal with some rapidly-disappearing décor from the revolving set, including the contestants' name-panels, and host Dawson saying to him, with perhaps a little too much relish, "It's not just me that makes the cock-ups, is it? You can create similar games, like the ones above, or create more traditional ones, like snakes and ladders for both you and your child to play. Why not mount a daytime series with ten civilians each week, with four playing each day, not unlike Moneybags?

This was almost certainly an attempt at a new version of Blankety Blank, even giving away address books instead of cheque books and pens as consolation prizes, but Fast Friends flopped after only one series, since it had none of Blankety Blank's entertainment value. Incidentally, his microphone was nothing more than a prop with which to gesticulate - if you look carefully, he was working off a standard mic in his lapel.The contestant earns 150, 100, or 50 Blanks for matching the first, second, or third most popular answers, respectively. The winner went through to the Supermatch Game (with the appropriate "Supermatch Game" theme tune, which was nearly as inane as the "Blankety Blank" one). If you recreate a board game that is licensed and does not aim to sell it commercially, your actions will not be illegal. The words on the board were worth 50, 100 and 150 Blanks depending on popularity, and more blanks meant better prizes (although I've already told you that didn't mean much.
