I remember my granny praising this to no end. It had finished by the time I was born, but every now and then my granny would bring up Quicksilver and Bunny Carr, who she absolutely loved. ''A real gentleman'' to quote her.
Amazingly this programme last 13 yrs on Tele. Imagine the amount of Dunces appeared on the show in that time. Indeed I remember many of them, Made a show of the Country some of them
I don't suppose you have any of the RTE One continuity links leading into/out of that recording? According to the copyright date at the end, the programme was made in 1979 - and not 1977/8.
What would anyone do with gold pans? Unable to cook with them. Norman playing the organ, give him lessons. He: Where would you find Punch and Judy. She: In a Punch and Judy show. You could not make it up. This is cracking me up some thing serious.
Bunny Carr was incredibly sarcastic and often downright rude to contestants. This was supposed to put them at their ease - but NEVER seemed to work. The musical cues from Norman on his organ were often as obscure and head scratchingly random as those clues on 3-2-1.
It seemed to be the style back then. I remember one host not Carr, teasing the contestant then saying but you didn't come here to be embarrassed. No came the reply. Where do you usually go asked the host.

If Paddy had won those pans he'd use it to mix cement
I remember this show as a kid looking at it now you would want to be on speed to enjoy it

I thought Paddy was bad, then John entered. Lord save us.
Why did Paddy even go to the recording.
I thought this programme was just a dream I had as a child
Nightmare you mean
"What is an American faucet? Spelled F A W C E T T". Bless.
Irelands version of Who wants To Be a Millionaire. God Save us back in the 70#. Big jackpots.

And now we go to the 5p question, and im sorry for robbing the Gorta money

It seems such a long time ago, I'm surprised it's even in colour
Tge 70s was always colour
Many still had B&W TV's though until the 80's

Good old Norman, The Doors should have kicked out Ray Manzarick, Norm would have batted 'light my fire's out of the park.

My god some of his asides were pretty snarky!

I couldn't watch past the appearance of the "star prize". Much too risky; laughing too much might have killed me.
Jaysis, is Paddy's beard detachable?!
He's got an Amish Paradise look going on!

I think the schoolteacher said Rockall is off the "North East coast of Ireland". I don't think so.
