Blooper: In addition to the infamous Catchphrases, there have been a small number of proper bloopers.
One deleted scene from a TVS era episode has Roy Walker caught sucking on a polo mint...
Roy: I swallowed it and it came back up!
Then comes the infamous moment from the first recorded episode from Season 14 when the then-new Nick Weir breaks his leg, on his FIRST EPISODE as presenter.
Nick: Wayhey! come on! (trips) I'll be alright!
Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The British version lasted waaaaaaaaay longer than the American version, following in the pattern of other British adaptations of American game shows, such as Blockbusters and Wipeout. A clip of the "Snake Charmer" incident did make the rounds on "Outrageous Game Show Moments"-type Clip Show specials in the U.S., though.
Replacement Scrappy: Nick Weir and Mark Curry. While good hosts in their own right, they pretty much had no chance when following the legendary Roy Walker.
That One Puzzle: The majority of episodes will have at least one catchphrase that will heavily stump the contestants. One good example from Nick Weir’s run: The screen shows a boy with an apple on his head, along with an anthropomorphic clock, aiming a bow and arrow towards the apple. The contestants threw in loads of William Tell variations, trying to incorporate time or clock into the mix. Neither one got it right before the Cash Countdown hit zero. The correct answer was then revealed to be Time Will Tell.
They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The final season, with new host Curry, marked a move from the show's established weekly slot on ITV to the network's daytime lineup. Moving from weekly primetime to daily daytime meant the stakes were cheaper. Much cheaper. Cheaper to the point that Catchphrases were recycled from Roy's episodes, there was no audience, contestants played for points instead of cash, and the holiday could only be in a location in Europe.
The Problem with Licensed Games: While the current apps available in the UK (the Classic app, offering gameplay like that of the show, and Quest, where the players controls Mr. Chips in a more Candy Crush Saga-type game) are pretty good, the same can't be said of the board game adaptations- which the show really wasn't meant for.
