Finders Keepers: Pilot

[@97channel]

Andrew O'Connor was very well suited as host. I felt like I was watching something he'd been doing for years, he was confident and his style really rivalled the legend Neil Buchanan.

One of those contestants was Matthew in Grange Hill.

Paul Parris also Bruno di Gradi in Renford Rejects. That's a great spot.

Looks like that it was shot in the set of the syndicated Larry Toffler run at Los Angeles, California mostly because of the theme music and the purple countdown timer.

It's not uncommon to reuse sets for international versions or for pilots. In this situation they wanted to sell the programme to the UK and partnered with TVS to do so using a presenter and contestants from the UK.

Finders Keepers In Hollywood Center Studios

Oh Wow!! This must have been after the US version with Toffler ended. Before Dad’s Den, that room was Frankensteins lab, and all those picture puzzles were previously used in Toffler episodes.

I thought Finders Keepers location is in USA because of the red and blue shirts

[@nathanbyberg]

Now this is really cool, as I was a huge fan of this show!

[@victoriaharbach5968]

Andrew o Connor is very good host of this pilot ep finders keepers

[@DanknDerpyGamer]

Am I the only one who thinks they shoulda kept Edd Kalehoff's score for the UK version?

[@justingandara9289]

WAS THAT THE SAME FINDERS KEEPERS SET, THE LARRY TOFFLER VERSION?

[@newtimetravelhyman88]

Yes

[@nathanbyberg]

Sure was!

[@nathanroberson8206]

Starting the clock outside the house? That’s hardly fair.

[@arturomcneil5919]

That is cool

[@travisbost469]

2:51 that looks like from the Toffler version
