Jokers Wild

Another classic from Yorkshire Television, this hilarious and unusual game show series was guaranteed to give viewers a laugh a minute . . . literally.

The guest line-up included the big names of British comedy at the time such as Barry Cryer, Ted Ray, Les Dawson, Arthur Askey, Ray Martine, Alfred Marks and Clive Dunn

Two teams of joke-telling, wise-cracking comedians competed in front of a quick-witted Cryer to try to gain as many laughs as possible from the audience in minute-long patter sessions.

Six top-line comics racked their memories to come up with the best gags and jokes on a variety of subjects ranging from farmers to politics, fired at them by chairman Barry Cryer.
