You Bet & old Saturday night TV.

[Milkyway]

Who remembers the YOU BET programme on Saturday nights.
Contestants had a unique talent or memory.
They took a challenge & won a simple medal if they won.
There was some strange, yet intriguing challenges.

Saturday nights TV used to be great...
No big money, contracts, ‘celebrities ‘ etc... just simple entertainment.
Try this one; From 2014.

I liked the show, particularly how they’d have some elaborate stunt as a break between contestants.

Naming any song by band x by listening to the first 0.5s. Classic.

You bet was great. As was beadles about, Brian Conley and gladiators.

Classic stuff.

Name that tune was good as well...
“ I’ll name that tune in 1”... Piano key: ‘donk’
