Give Us a Clue

This celebrity charades show was a popular fixture on both ITV and the BBC. It started at Thames, hosted by Michael Aspel from 1979 to 1984, after which it resumed with Michael Parkinson as host from 1985 to 1992. Later it transferred to the BBC, running until 1997. The transmission date of this episode is unclear, but from Aspel's pose and the anguished cries of his team captains Lionel Blair and Una Stubbs, it could perhaps be his last episode… Though popular with everyone he worked with, it seems it was difficult politically for him to host a Thames show while also presenting LWT series such as The Six O'Clock Show and Aspel and Company.
