Product Information

A Dual Implication in 1981 (This situation didn't have that name until the revival) Gold Rush/Run [ ] The show was delayed by all ITV regions until January 1990 as no slots were available to air the show. This was because Home and Away took over the 5.10pm slot and Emmerdale was now being aired at 6.30pm, before it was moved to 7pm in January 1990. Anglia, Central and TSW were airing repeats from September to December 1989.

Change the matching number in the ‘Choose a question’ selection grid to match the letter on the hexagon.To do this, highlight the number and then type in the new letter. He/she'll be doing that Gold Run - not right now, but in a couple of minutes' time - don't you dare go away!" The answer to the question will start with the letter. ( this is what makes it such a great game for ESL and Native English Students.Granada: Aired 2–3 episodes most weeks at 5.10pm. From April to August, it was moved to 3.20pm. Completed in January 1994. We have a couple of links to some others in case in the million to one chance you don’t like this one! Including one on Prezi if you are much more up-to-date than we are! This game was an instant hit with our games group, the Hairy Game Lords. Even my non-gaming, not seen many films, wife got involved on the second play through and thoroughly enjoyed it!

This was the first Goodson-Todman/Goodson game that Bill Cullen and Bob Hilton worked on together, the other one being Child's Play. One gold run contestant giving Simon Mayo "World Wide Web" before he'd even asked the question, only for him to (rather sourly) mutter "just give me the letters".Gumtree.com Limited is an Appointed Representative of Compare The Market Limited who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. On another show, in which the double team were Welsh, Bob asked the question, "What 'C' is the Welsh word for 'Wales'?" The non-Welsh single player buzzed in first and gave the answer, 'Cymru', mispronouncing the word, but also spelling it correctly, and Bob accepted it because of the latter. Naturally, there were quite a few laughs - mainly from Bob, of course - at the fact that the double team had failed to answer the question, but they both took it very much in the right spirit. When Bob once asked, "What 'L' is a sum of money you borrow from a bank?" a girl answered, "Can I have a loan, please, Bob?" Bob's response was to get his wallet out straightaway. Henry Marsh and Paul Boross composed a different, yet audibly similar, theme for the Aspel/BBC series. Probably the most unusual question, which the contestants (understandably) failed to answer on the night, was, "What 'C' has four stiff-standers, four dilly-danders, two lookers, two crookers and a wig-wag?" The answer was 'Cow' (four legs, four teats, two eyes, two horns and a tail).

Regardless of your number of players, you need to have two teams. Split up the players and give yourselves a fun name (optional).Getting a question correct also allowed you to choose the next letter. As you can see from the diagram, the single player had a shorter route than the pair of blue players. For the 1980 version, the contestant would play the Gold Run from a section of Bill Cullen's podium, which would rotate outwards and to the right (or left from Bill's point of view), with a smaller microphone for this purpose. The 1987 set, meanwhile, instead had a gold-colored railing/handhold flip up from the floor for the contestant to stand at.
