All Clued Up
All Clued Up was a Sunday tea-time classic, hosted by ''Diddy''
David Hamilton. It was a real favourite with ''elderly'' people
for some reason (probably because it was so easy).
The first
series featured young, bored-looking couples, but the average age
rose dramatically as the years wore on.
Be the first to get the word being gradually revealed ("W!
K! A! N!"), and you get a crack at the phrase on the Big
Screen, Wheel of Fortune-style. Just walk over really slowly and
press a key on the giant keyboard (which had no actual keyboard
properties).
Diddy: "Pig anodder ledder!".
And if you pigged a ledder with more than two occurrences you
would solicit a WHOO! from the studio audience (and another WHOO!
when you picked the Stinger).
And that was it, really.
There was a similar end game, to win £100 or something.
Only worth watching for the constant nasal whine of Diddy
("Two E''s, £40 in the Puzzle bank, your clues are
"End", "Radio Career", and "Standing
There Looking Like A Mannequin", Edith, solve the perzzle!"),
and the audience's reaction when someone picked the stinger. And
the nice computer graphics.
