In the first episode, Bradley meets Bruce Forsyth, who says: "What I love about game shows - or any show- is if things go wrong. I love things to go wrong. Then I have to put them right, and that's what ‘The Generation Game' was all about."
Bruce also reveals: "The other show I really liked and I wanted was ‘Family Fortunes'. That was the one I wanted." Bob Monkhouse had already bought the rights to the show, so Bruce asked if Bob would be prepared to make a swap, "They said no, Bob's got to do Family Fortunes, there's no way he'll do anything else."
Self-confessed Bruce Forsyth fan, Vernon Kay, says: "If you watch Bruce closely, and trust me I have, because he manhandles my wife on a regular basis, but what he's good at is - he's his own floor manager, so he bosses the stage, and when he's with a contestant he'll literally grab their arm and drag them to where they're supposed to stand."
Ant & Dec reminisce about one of their favourite game shows from their childhood, ‘321', saying: "I always remember when I was a kid, I would think, ‘If I go on ‘321', I'd like to win Dusty Bin.' I couldn't understand why they were so disappointed! And then I realised, they didn't win the actual Dusty Bin when it came on and wobbled around, they just won a bin."
