  Amen to that. I actually quite enjoyed Ross ;) But i do agree with your point there about Gower and Lineker :(

  Here's another one from years ago.  Had a few presenters, but the main one, Nicholas Parsons, started it all off.  Still going strong at 91 (92 next month)!  Here's one of the very first episodes:

  BBC2, weekdays at 6:00pm.  I used to watch this when at my late Nan's house, just before going to get our tea.  Very clever, formidable team, the Eggheads.  Was nice to see them get beaten every now and then!

  And, when CJ left Eggheads, he and Jeremy Vine were part of this show.  Again, nice to see CJ beaten every now and then, and again, something to watch at 6:00pm!  :)

  I loved this one!  Sunday afternoon on Channel 4!  Really enjoyable!  Had to tape it, once Premier League on Sky Sports started, but always watched it after the Football.  Richard O'Brien was boss in this!  Ed Tudor-Pole was ok at best.

  The Crystal Maze was absolutely great! I used to watch it so so much :D Me and my mates even used to play silly games at primary school based on it :P
  There were some proper fucking idiots on that show aswell. They always fucked up and proper pissed me off :)

  Agreed Jose, loved that game show, and me and my mates also tried our hand at a few games similar to those on the programme!  :)
  
  
  Fantastic show, and deservedly gained legendary status.

  This one, I didn't mind it.  Steve Jones was the host in the 80's version of this.  I remember Donny Osmond did the 00's version!  Fast-paced, kept me interested for half an hour!  :P

  This game show, not one of my favourites, in fact when seeing this repeated on tape as a kid, nothing really was appealing to me at all!  Hosted by Lionel Blair.
