Going for Gold (1987–1996)
1/10
what a waste of time.

Warning: Spoilers
I saw this on Wednesday 11th March and thought great. I loved the original show.

That was at 12:47pm By 1:13pm I had lost the will to watch it (along with the will to live). The format is pretty much the same as the original with Henry Kelly without the foreign contestants (guests) nor the first eliminator round. The first round Beat the Buzzer was OK with the traditional format and then at 12:56pm the host announced the break - OK a bit quick for a British TV game show. The next 4 minutes were wasted with some charming young lady announcing the viewers game; with a question a 3 year old could answer. The break and then back for another 4 minutes of the viewers game question and then continue round 1

Round 2 4 in a row - again pretty much the same as before with another break, half way through the round,for the viewers question where the hostess repeats herself more times than Jive Bunny.

The final round - similar to the original but no points target this time. The competition finished at 1:35pm. Hang On!!! there's 10 minutes left and yep, you got it, the viewers question which was another very simple one to answer and thats without the hostess giving it away.

This show has been taken down, mucked about and ruined. Basically. I couldn't even bring myself to re-tune for the Going For Gold Extra.

Whoever thought this up needs their P45 sent to them very very quickly
