Funny rather than instructive. Look at the bidding of the first hand. 4 Hearts? Taking away potentially valuable bidding space for nothing, old fashioned. It's called an auto-preempt nowadays... Look at the explanation of 3 S, although even today there still are differing opinions on 3Spades or 3Hearts, nobody would state "surely" 3 spades. The advantage of declaring 9 cards in the majors instead of 6 is well understood nowadays...
I was born in '60. My Late Father took up Bridge after he retired (and was widowed.) I'm trying to learn it now. Wish they played Duplicate on the show.
Tim Holland would become much better known in the 1970s for backgammon, not golf or bridge. He wrote several popular books on the game and won some major tournaments.
haha I'm related to the narrator, Alex Dreier. Bless you for this clip.
Love these old shows. Entertaining as well as instructive for playing Bridge. Hope all the shows are available.

What a great game! Too bad its ageing out in the US, but so am I.
For the score points your team needs six Trump's plus whatever your contract is , example you bid 2spades so you'll need 8 Trump's total
