Yes. In here the U.S., two of our six pricing games are always played for a car. Ten Chances is one of them for the third prize, all 5 numbers are used as a guess.
Paul Maguire’s circus-like score was one of the show’s greatest assets. It nailed the craziness of it all while being significantly different from the US theme. Brucie had the better prizes but this show was made for Leslie Crowther. Even as you sort of knew TPIR ‘80s had had its day by 1988, it was still sad when it ended.
It is a question of budget and what then were strict limits on the value of what could be won. Before this, there was a limit on Sale of the Century of £1,000 for a car, which had to be raised when it was pointed out that no British car could be bought for £1,000. Even our 1990s version of the $64,000 Dollar Question's top prize was restricted to £6,400.
The IBA had very heavy restrictions on the prizes at the time. A grand prize (usually a car) had to have cost less than £6000 and the total you could give away in cash was £3000. It was done to stop them from losing thousands through cheating
You think the prizes on this Show suck? In the Eighties in the U.K. there was a show on the BBC called Blankety Blank The prize was a Checkbook and Pen
Huge step down from the American version and presentation. Host couldn't shout the price loud enough so the people behind the game could hear the price.
What's the point in the copy-cat music cues from the USA version? Just use the ORIGINALS! Edd Kalehoff's music cues made this show what it is, so use them! And speaking of that, why the same music cues for all the prizes and bidder walk-down from the audience?
Leslie was made for our version of this. It finally made him a megastar. And Andy is a bit of all right as well LOL.
why everything about the eighties is just magical ?!
its like the VHS tape ran out!
I love how Leslie explains The pricing games.
It’s interesting watching the British version of this game show.
The prizes are always crap here in uk

Remember that the magic words are Come On Down.
Love these game shows bring them back

That score was quite limited, wouldn't you say? Using the same prize cue for everything, I mean.
CAR
Reminds me of Let’s Make a Deal.
What crappy prizes in the UK gets.
Nice to cheap you, to cheap you, nice!
All to be IBA compliant, they even banned the Showdown Wheel for lacking skill, I kid ye not.
I love the American version more better!!!!!!!!! Lol
Why are the prices so low?? It always seemed like items on the US version were much more pricey

Ever feel you've been cheated...............out of the last half of an episode of The price Is Right?
No just what's there
Hi, do you have the full show?
Did they get the prizes from Spencer Gifts.
OMG the prizes were rubbish!

During the 1970s, the IBA's winnings limit was only £1,000.
I think it was updated in 1975 to £6000, where it stayed for 20 years with no consideration to inflation
Yeah I can't believe its not nice selection of prize back then but I supposed the comment about IBA is the problem yes.
Well one of the prizes
A portable colour television
Cost over £200. Was
Bad. Going. Stockport

Where's the proper ending? The title of the video is Susan's Price is Right and Susan finally got up and the video cuts out.
Crackerjack

Central TV produced the show

Cataloge game
