    Born in early 1970 and I recognise all these. 53 years of age now and I would not be able to spot any TV people now. We ditched the TV over ten years ago. Great stuff Stu and thanks for taking the time to create and publish these vids.

    Brought tears to my eyes, seeing faces from the youth most of which are no longer with us, made me feel old.

    Only one I slipped up on, was Magnus Pike. Couldn't get Magnus Magnussen out of my head, although I knew it was wrong. :D

    My first full house!!! Claiming bonus points for Jason the cat
    with Valerie Singleton and ( get down ) Shep with Noaksey.
    So 27/25 for me. ( Born 1960 so all well within range of my
    memory...put 25 pics up of TV 'greats' since 2000 and I'll score
    next to nothing🤔)

    22 / 25. Missed Judith Chalmers (I thought that was Gloria Hunniford, don't ask me why!), Leslie Judd and Delia Smith.

    22. I couldn't recall Richard Baker or Anna Ford quick enough, and I didn't think Delia's photo looked liked Delia.

    You have to be of a 'certain age' to know most of them. I thought Dickie Davies was Des Lynam. Doh! Getting my moustached sports presenters mixed up.

    19. Quite pleased but kicking myself. Quite a few hard ones thrown in. Surprised I slipped on some of the later women - Delia, Anna, Selina. Another great quiz :)

  • @j0hnf_uk
    @j0hnf_uk Před 2 lety +1

    No Kenneth Kendall or John Craven? Then there's always Chloe Ashcroft, Norris McWhirter, Sue Ingle, Peter Purves, Fred Harris, Floella Benjamin, Rick Jones....
    Not forgetting Tony, 'rugged neck extension', Soper!

      Yes, there's plenty more for a second edition!

      #JimmyLawley..Hi Jimmy..I guess Fanny must have morphed into Delia then..Not to worry it could 'ave been worse...ie: the gallopin' gourmet ( Graham somebody or other)..'cos then I would have suggested Specsavers!! Take care Jimmy! X 🤪😜

    25/25 I think I should have gotten out more when I was younger. Surprised not to see Dave Benson-Phillips or Tony Hart

    • @stuviewtv
      @stuviewtv  Před 3 lety +2

      Tony Hart was one of the first people I thought of to include here but then for some reason I totally forgot to add him!

    Brian Cant, The Galloping Gourmet and Virgil from Thunderbirds were all my first televisual crushes! Thanks for giving Shep a mention.

    British TV 📺 Greats Quiz: 25/25!!!! This is only the second time with a full score 😃 I could even name the animals with the Blue Peter Presenters: Valerie Singleton with Jason, Lesley Judd with either Jack or Jill (?!) and the legendary John Noakes with faithful Shep🐱🐱🐶 This Quiz brought back some memories. Although I did not really want to be reminded of Fanny Craddock🤦‍♀️ Thanks for another interesting 🤔 Quiz.

  • @johnsaunders2109
    @johnsaunders2109 Před 3 lety +2

    18. I lost it with the likes of Leslie Judd and Brian Cant, I didn't have a clue.The photos of Anna Ford and Delia Smith didn't look like them! I'd completely forgotten Selina Scott, I thought it was Kirsty Wark! And I couldn't think of Derek Griffiths name in time! Not bad though!

    • @Nooziterp1
      @Nooziterp1 Před 2 lety

      Leslie Judd caught me out because it didn't look like her.

  • @Tidybitz
    @Tidybitz Před 2 lety +1

    Ha! Well technically I knew all of these apart from Delia Smith, I knew the first names of about 5 but couldn't recall the surnames. Damn! Still, the best I've done so far I think. The trouble with some nostalgia is that one forgets some of it.

    22/25. I knew all their faces but couldn't put names to Lesley Judd and Magnus Pyke! Still, this is my record score on one of Stu's quizzes - they're quite taxing but fun. I usually get about 12 which is pants but I reckon I'd get more if I was ten years older or had watched more tv :0
