This show was really fun and entertaining back in the day I was only 7 years old always liked the celebrities getting the 50/50 question wrong and getting soaking wet from the water hoses giving them a 10 second penalty. It’s a shame the winners of the dream card ticket win were just sitting and watching the whole time. Shame this game did not find popularity anymore. Now a days it’s used for robot wars and other musical events. Good times.
A shame this never worked and The National Lottery never re-attempted a Scratchcard that gets you on one of their shows after this. Maybe when Allwyn takes over completely next year and the draws move to ITV properly, maybe they could try again by importing Winning Streak from Ireland to the UK.
Unfortunately due to health and safety and money I’m afraid it will not be possible. Yea it was great back then I wish it could but it just was not popular enough due to reviews.
Actually not a mistake. The way the TV Home Play draw worked was once a ball was drawn from the first machine, it would be removed from the rack in further draws
Ah yes, the question of how to make a show fit around the National Lottery draws. There was actually some merit to this particular attempt, despite it not really achieving what was imagined of it. It works well on paper, but somehow didn't quite gel on screen. First problem, it takes far too long to get into the action. They should have found a way to get straight into the games and weave the necessary dull content into more tolerable bursts between the various entertainment items. Second problem, the stunts felt pointless. And thirdly, the presenters are not being applied to match their potential. Anthea Turner and Patrick Kielty would have been far stronger working as a duo, rather than having the roles split. I feel that Anthea's energy would have given the stunts a boost. Patrick has a nonchalance which doesn't bring the games to life. Earning the exclusive rights to broadcast the live lottery draws seemed like a licence to attract huge viewing figures, when the lottery launched in 1994. But it quickly became clear that the padding wasn't worth watching, in the original Lottery Live show. And the problem of what to put around the draw got bigger and bigger. Because the simple fact is, all of it is pointless. I think it was inevitable that the day would come when the draws just didn't interest the TV broadcasters any more. And in today's on-demand world of information, there really isn't a need to watch a whole TV show just to get the lottery numbers. Interestingly, The Big Ticket was penned in for a second series, despite the poor reviews of the first, but it had to be shelved because of concerns that the Home Play game was effectively being commercially sold by the show, which was against BBC regulations. Higher ratings may have seen them work around the issue, but with the already negative response they ended up not bothering.
Yeah, this show and ‘National Lottery Red Alert’ seemed especially pointless and vague. The quiz show versions made more sense I think, but really they should have just shown the machine with numbers popping out: quicker, gets to the point and saves an hour of silly faff.
Red Alert was during that period where Chris Evans' Midas touch was beginning to fade. I remember it launching with a lot of hype, it was assumed that any format he came up with would automatically succeed. But his efforts weren't as energetic as they once were, and the lethargy was showing throughout all of his work at the time. There was also a very odd Brian Conley vehicle too. It was quite a good comedy show, but there was just no connection with the lottery. The draws were just crowbarred in.
@@darrenclementsTo be honest, if the BBC had got the rights to The National Lottery draws, it would've made more sense for them to show the draws during the news, rather than make it into a silly gameshow.🤣🤣🤣
I were 13 years old never seen it!
Returning Video. I'm glad I didn't attempt the Fall and Race for Money.

Interesting fact at 20:31: The machine just had 86 balls for the 1st number. Logic here? Idk.
