And, Here's Your Host Trivia Quiz

Answer: Chris Tarrant

Tarrant made his name hosting "Tiswas" between 1974 and 1981, which was a kids Saturday morning TV show, that occasionally crossed the line into adult innuendo. He also hosted a hugely popular radio show on for 20 years as well as hosting "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" from the first ever episode in 1998 all the way up to 2014. In 2014, Tarrant decided it was time to say goodbye to the show, and seek new challenges and the producers then decided to end the show to coincide with his departure. The show was revived to much fanfare in 2018, with new host, the former "Top Gear" presenter, Jeremy Clarkson.

Answer: Bamber Gascoigne

Bamber Gascoigne was the perfect host for "University Challenge" as a graduate of Magdalene College, Cambridge himself. He gave the impression of knowing all the answers to the questions without ever appearing smug about it, and is fondly remembered for phrases, which became catchphrases, such as, "I'll have to hurry you" and "Your starter for ten".
Gascoigne hosted the show from 1962 to 1987, when falling viewing figures led to it being cancelled. The show was revived in 1994 with former BBC newsreader, Jeremy Paxman, as host.

Answer: Bob Holness

South African born Bob Holness is remembered by many as the host of children's TV quiz show, "Blockbusters" between 1983 and 1995, but when the show ended, he presented the less remembered "Raise The Roof". Although this was one of the first UK game shows to take advantage of the rules restricting prize limits on game shows. it flopped and was not renewed after its first season.

It seems that UK viewers weren't ready for being given a house after years of winning just a few hundred pounds.

Answer: McDonald Hobley

"Tell The Truth" had many famous presenters in its lifetime, such as David Jacobs, Shaw Taylor, Graeme Garden and Fred Dineage, but it was the wonderfully named, Falklands Island born, former continuity announcer McDonald Hobley that presented the show for its first season between 1957 and 1958.
Hobley was also the original presenter of TV show "It's A Knockout" in 1966 before David Vine took over hosting duties.

Answer: Robin Ray

"Call My Bluff" ran on UK TV in one form or another from 1965 to 2011. The most famous host was probably Robert Robinson who chaired the show from 1969 to 1998, but it was Robin Ray who hosted the original show between 1965 and 1966.
Ray was an actor prior to becoming a "Call My Bluff" host and had a small role in The Beatles movie, "A Hard Day's Night" (1964) and was married from 1960 to 1998 to Susan Stranks who presented kid's show "Magpie" for many years.

Answer: Bob Monkhouse

"Celebrity Squares" was hugely popular when it was on air between 1975 and 1979, which is seems surprising now, given that each correct answer won a contestant just £10 and the top prize was only £1,000.

Bob Monkhouse was a talented comedian with an amazing memory for jokes and could recite one about any subject. As well as "Celebrity Squares", he also hosted game shows such as "The Golden Shot" (1967-1975), taking over from original host, Jackie Rae and "Family Fortunes" (1980-83). He also voiced Space Navigator Brad Newman in the 1966 movie, "Thunderbirds Are Go".

Answer: Fred Dineage

"Gambit" was a game of Blackjack, in which a couple not only tried to reach the winning score of 21, or as close to as possible, but they could also force their opponents to exceed 21, and "bust". Sounds ridiculous when written down, but this was riveting TV back in the 70s.

Dineage presented the show from 1975 to 1983, but is probably best remembered for presenting kid's show "How" between 1966 and 1981, alongside Jack Hargreaves, Jon Miller and Bunty James.

Answer: Shaw Taylor

"Password" is one of those game shows that keeps getting dusted off and tried again. It began in 1963 with Shaw Taylor, well known for presenting "Police 5 (1962-2014), as host and then after a ten year hiatus re-emerged with Brian Redhead, better known as anchor on Radio Four's "Today" (1975-1993) programme, fronting it.
In later years the show was hosted by Eleanor Summerfield, Esther Rantzen, Tom O'Connor and Gordon Burns.

Answer: Bruce Forsyth

Forsyth will always be remembered for presenting "The Generation Game" between 1971 and 1977 and then again between 1990 and 1994, but he has hosted many more game shows. Included in these are, "Play Your Cards Right" (1980-2003), "Hollywood Or Bust" (1984), "Takeover Bid" (1990-1991) as well as "You Bet!" which ran from 1988 to 1990, before Matthew Kelly took over as host.

Answer: Robert Robinson

"Ask The Family" pitted families against each other in a quiz covering many subjects, with certain conditions applied, such as questions just for mother and eldest child, or questions for children only.
Robinson was compere from 1967 to the end of the original show in 1984 and had managed to achieve fame of sorts in 1965, when, while he was chairing a live televised discussion on censorship, guest Kenneth Tynan, the theatre critic became the first person to use a particular banned word on the BBC.
