Back to the one's of yesteryear then. Ask the Family, Blankety Blank, The Generation Game, Give Us a Clue, 3,2,1 were a few we used to watch An opening clip from the 100th Episode of "The Generation Game" - with Bruce Forsythe - posted by Youtube channel, The Cake Store who (for some reason) want us to know exactly who made the cake used in the clip. Generation Game 100th ShowAnthea's "100th twirl" at 2:25. And now I can't help but have sleepless nights, wondering if the legendary Ken made the unused celebration cake for "The Stones of Blood"

"Happy Families" (1993)IMDBCan't find much on this one, save that it was presented by Sarah Green and Andrew O' Connor - and didn't last very long. And that it had a round called "Crank Up Your Granny" which had a familiar guest in charge of the Granny-cranking lever things during one episode.... Jon Pertwee Presents Crank Up Your Granny (1993)
