This is a game of filling in the blanks, 3 rounds to play and you’ll enjoy filling in the blanks from witty, silly phrases and seeing if you’re able to match answers with other players. The winner who scores higher in the Supermatch becomes the day's champion; any ties are broken as in the main game.

Except in the more recent Lily Savage, David Walliams and Bradley Walsh revived versions, they were actually not bad, when there was a holiday for a grand prize and things that actually worked.And it all started with *that* theme tune, the one that went "Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank (Boom Boom), Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank (Boom Boom)" for about five years which we suppose was dead handy if you suffered from amnesia and forgot which programme you were currently watching. At that point, the set started to revolve and knocked into Dawson, who uttered a swear-word that had been bleeped out. With a range of different formats, you simply have to select one, print, cut, laminate, and you are good to go! Play through the rounds including Blankety Blank, Super Match and Head-to-Head, filling in the blanks using hilarious, witty phrases.

Said celebs sat in the famous two-tier seating-arrangement: similar seating was later used by other shows, such as Bob's Full House, Steal, Going for Gold, Are You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old and even University Challenge. In fact, it’s particularly great for Maths lessons to get your class to practice basic counting, addition and subtraction. The original series ran from 18 January 1979 to 12 March 1990 on BBC1, hosted first by Terry Wogan from 1979 until 1983, then by Les Dawson from 1984 until 1990. The winning team is the team with the highest score by the time the counter gets around to the end of the board. With three rounds to play ‑ Blankety Blank, Super Match Game and Head to Head ‑ this card game will take you on a nostalgia trip that will get you thinking and laughing.

The Independent Broadcasting Authority restricted the value of prizes on ITV shows, and BBC-programme prizes were also of a modest value. Should the trailing contestant fail to at least tie the score, the game ends immediately without the leader having to take a turn. The contestant is presented with a fill-in-the-blank phrase and must attempt to choose the most common response based on a studio audience survey.

For at least the last two episodes he'd recorded beforehand he was noticeably ill; you'd think the BBC would have had a stand-by presenter but apparently not. To be fair, he didn't do a bad job, but was hampered by having to fill an ITV hour (45 minutes of content). Getting your child to help in the creation of the board game is a great way to spend some quality time with them, even if they’re just decorating it. Two contestants compete, each attempting to match as many of the six celebrity panellists as possible in a series of fill-in-the-blank statements. Rising in popularity, we have 50 blanks, 100 blanks, and 150 blanks - and these are the prizes you could be winning on Blankety Blank".In 2006, the show was brought back this time as an interactive DVD game, with Terry once again reprising his role of host and once again being accompanied by his magic wand-type microphone. However, despite Dawson's constant jibing of the consolation prize ("Never mind love, you might have lost, but you'll never be short of something to prop your door open with now. Everett was a regular during the Wogan era, but not during the Dawson-era - it's probably fair to say that the show wouldn't have been big enough for both Dawson and Everett, given that Dawson was a rather more dominant personality than Wogan. The host read the statement out and then the six celebrities wrote down the answer that they think would fit the blanks.

The game was then played again with two new contestants, and whoever had the most Blanks in the Supermatch Game went forward to the head to head (and if the two winners got the same it would go to sudden death).The next thing we knew, a rather harassed Wogan was hammering on the side (possibly with a door there, we never knew) of the revolving panel and shouting, "Eamonn, Eamonn!
