One thing I remember about You Bet was a strange Scottish woman on the panel who always wore outlandish clothes and really big specs. I think Mathew Kelly called her by her surname.

The king has to be Catchphrase!

"Say what you see!"

lol

[branny]

I can't stand Catchphrase. Roy Walker's shouting does my head in. He's like a looped recorded message. "5 seconds, here we go" "It's good, it's not right" "Say what you see" "RRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHTTTTTT TTT" Maybe that's why it was called Catchphrase.

Sounds like Kate Copstick who always popped up on these shows and lots of kid's TV shows too. I remember her being referred to by her surname.

I liked You Bet. When Matthew Kelly presented it my Mum used to say he looked smelly and like a dog...lol. Harsh! I think You Bet used to be live sometimes. Didn't like How Do They Do That...? Des Lynam was going through a weird popularity phase on tv and he just seemed dull to me, the woman on the show was a bit randy looking to me...then Eamon Holmes presented it and I really cannot stand him - he just got fatter and fatter...His wife Kay Burley looks like she must play away a lot of the time, cannot blame her...lol.

Yep, You Bet was cool, the last presenter of the show was Davina MacCall who my Mum didn't like - but I did.

I remember watching 'You Bet' but mainly during it's Matthew Kelly years. I saw a few of the Brucie shows, but that cringe-worthy rap sign-off thing he always performed at the end of each show put me off somewhat.

Do you remember the Terry Wogan fronted 'Do The Right Thing'? - A video story would unfold in small sections, and (if I remember correctly), the audience were given a choice of directions the story could go depending on how they voted ("Do the right thing, and vote with your feet!"), and they would move around the studio and stand on an area marking their desired choice. The stories were usually based on some moral dilemma or other, and would reach a good or bad conclusion based on the audience's choices. I think there may have been a panel of celebrities putting their opinions across as well, I certainly remember Frank Skinner being on it. I can't remember if this was on Saturday nights, it might not have been - but worth remembering.
