Thanks so much for posting these. For us Eighties kids this was our Goon Show or Python. So many fond memories of the sketches (Electric Leader, synchronised swimming, the football hooliganism song, the farmer’s lost arm, the Trivial Pursuit meltdown and so many more) which we’d laugh about in the school playground. I’ve still got the tie-in book, Throbbing Torment.

- Ha ha oh my goodness I've still got a copy of Throbbing Torment! I'm so glad you are enjoying them, it's been a lot of fun going through the archives! 😄

The Marillion gag at the beginning got a proper LOL out of me, and I'm a Marillion fan.

I use to love this show. I saw the live version at Reading Hexagon (where Tony Robinson’s little chap was fully on view! Who Dares Wins was around at around the same time as Absolutely and Saturday/Friday Night Live. A Triumverate of which we shall never see the likes again. I’ve got the other two shows on DVD (full series from Absolutely and Highlights for S/FNL) but have only seen clips of WDW. Looking forward to watching the others on here. Thanks Julia 😀

- Thanks David - I've been trying to upload everything I have on video (not the greatest quality I'm afraid) as there isn't a lot of WDW on here and sadly I think all official tapes have been lost. Yes that was a golden era - I'm currently touring in the stage version of Drop the Dead Donkey and it is palpable how much the audiences enjoy an opportunity to laugh at some satire. Not much of it around these days - P.S. I hope you have managed to recover from the trauma of the sight of Sir Tony's genitalia in Reading! 😄

Did they show reruns in the 90s? As the panda sketches seem to be one of my earliest memories as a kid… I was born in 84, so far too young to watch it when it was originally broadcast although that wouldn’t have stopped my dad from watching it I don’t suppose! 🤣

- I don't think it was re shown in the 90's Lynne - they repeated it in 1987 when we didn't make a series because we were all busy doing other things. We then went on a national tour in 1988 and that was that

- I didn't catch them myself but I'm reliably informed that a cable or satellite channel (possibly Paramount Comedy or UK Gold) repeated the edited compilations (The Unrepeatable Who Dares Wins) in the 90s and possibly the 00s too.

Good of Johnathon Dimbelby to agree to appear on this show, obviously he knew it was gonna be a piss take.

A couple of weeks after seeing this episode I impressed my geography teacher by being able to name the capital of Swaziland (now Eswatini)! I didn't tell him where I learnt it tho'

Are you still in contact with any of the cast?
@14rnr3 ай бұрын
- Yes - Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin who wrote a lot of WDW (Andy was Producer along with Denise O'Donogue) have written a stage version of 'Drop the Dead Donkey' which I'm in and we open tonight in Richmond! Jimmy is producing the show and I saw Rory a couple of years back whilst touring in another show. I haven't seen Phil or Tony for a while but they're both still on the Xmas card list!

- @@julia_hills That's good that you're all still working with some of them and in contact with the others. I always thought you should've been in Chelmsford 123 with them too. Drop the dead donkey stage show sounds worth seeing. I'm sure you must have a hundred things to do before tonight's show so I will take no more of your time today.
