Take Your Pick

Take the money or Open the Box? Yes, Des O' Connor guides contestants through this popular gameshow, but not before they've endured the Yes/No game (where contestants see if they can last 1 minute while answering Des' questions without saying Yes or No or nodding or shaking their head. They then choose a key and Des tries to buy it off them with increasing amounts of money. If they "Open the Box", then they keep the prize written on a card inside. Prizes ranged from a ~£1000 treasure chest, A brand new car, or more useless prizes like a plate of beans or an old sock. Australian born singer Jodie Wilson (now Mrs Des O' Connor) was your hostess and bearer of the gong for the 'yes' or 'no' game.
