Talk:Take Your Pick!

untitled

what attracted people to watch this quiz show? apart from the fact it was the only money giving quiz show around?

Probably because there were only two TV channels at the time. I should also mention that a schoolboy joke circulating at the time went ... "Did you now Michael Miles had died?" "No." "Bong!" Delverie (talk) 14:13, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

I seem to recall that it was adjacent to a pop programme - before Ready Steady Go?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.75.219.108 (talk) 00:01, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Hancock

In "The Prize Money" episode (May 1958) of his show, Tony Hancock plays "Take Your Pick" with a Yes-No interlude, with Kenneth Williams as quiz master, and picks box 5 to win £4,000. The actual top cash prize at the time on TYP was £50.(84.236.152.71 (talk) 12:39, 2 April 2014 (UTC))

Time and production fact-checkng needed

If the show was aired at 7.30pm on Fridays, it would have been part of the ATV weekend broadcasting franchise for London, not the Rediffusion weekday service. Also, the later Thames and Central production periods incorrectly overlap. Not sure why Grundy and Fremantle are listed either; Take Your Pick! is not given as one of their properties on the WP pages. jxm (talk) 16:44, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Gameplay

My recollection of the original series is that all contestants from the Yes-No interlude (whether or not gonged out) returned for the main round. Camboxer (talk) 14:40, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

That's my recollection too. Most (if not all) contestants failed to get through the interlude successfully (I recall that those who were successful were rewarded with either 2/6 or five bob reward). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.125.234.176 (talk) 14:28, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

My memory is that winners of the yes/no interlude put their hands into a goldfish bowl full of coins and what they could pull out and place on a tray were their winnings. 148.252.26.183 (talk) 19:29, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
