SHOW NOTES

(00:19:48) “3-2-1” was a British game show that made by Yorkshire Television for ITV. It ran for ten years, from 29 July 1978 to 24 December 1988, with Ted Rogers as the host. The show was a huge success, consistently pulling in large ratings. The first series, though intended as a summer filler, attracted up to 16.5 million viewers and subsequent years never peaked below 12 million. The show occupied a Saturday early evening slot for most of its run. The overall objective of the game was to survive elimination through to part three of the show, and try to unravel a series of cryptic clues in order to win the star prize. However, one of the clues referred to “Dusty Bin,” the show’s booby prize; any contestants who wound up with Dusty at the end of the show received only a new dustbin. Each show had a theme, such as “Seacruise” or the “Swinging Sixties”. All of the variety acts, quiz questions, stage sets and clues to prizes subsequently followed this theme. The clues became notorious for being almost impossibly difficult and obscure, having only a remote connection to the prizes, which contestants sometimes did not appear to grasp even after Ted had revealed it to them. It has often been suggested that the clues had more than one possible explanation, allowing the producers to control which prize the contestants received.
