g

time Join the teams in the potting shed where they are ready to take phone
in questions from well known gardeners (usually about anything but
gardening).
gargle
gargle A
panellist has to gargle a tune or song. Do not try this at home without trained
medical people present.
general
knowledge In this round the teams are asked questions on local sayings and
folklore. The Chairman provides them with the opening lines from a selection of
local expressions for them to complete.
good morning
radio It
is a game subtly adapted from morning television by adding the word Radio, and
changed beyond all recognition by adding the word Good. The teams alternate as
interviewers and guests on a breakfast chat show. As you would expect of the
genre, the job of the interviewers is to prevent their guest from saying
anything of interest. Points will be awarded to guests for any interesting
information they manage to slip in.
good news/bad
news Everyone knows this one don’t they?
goodbye!
magazine Whilst Humphrey was queuing in his
local newsagents, behind seventeen people who weren’t going to win the
lottery that week, his eye fell upon the amazingly wide range of celebrity
interview magazines. One area that has been inexplicably overlooked by the
likes of Hello! Magazine is the celebrity funeral. With this in mind,
the programme has launched Goodbye! Magazine, and the teams are asked
to suggest articles, photos, captions, and other showbiz funeral related items
that might fill the pages of the first edition.
grand national
theatre This game combines the thespian art of theatrical drama with the
heady excitement of steeple chase racing, but without a repeat of the
unfortunate incident the last time acting was combined with horse racing -
someone told Barry Cryer to break a leg and he
had to be taken out and shot. Luckily the bullet hit Barry’s
wallet - and missed his heart by eight miles. The teams join forces is a
read through of a play which in the opinion of the Chairman, as a one time
critic, has been inclined to drag in conventional productions. To speed things
up the teams will attempt their performance in the style of horse racing
commentators.
great british
sports The Chairman asks the panellists to suggest ways to improve the
British sporting record by either modifying existing sports or devising new
ones.
greetings
cards The Chairman asks the teams for to suggest occasions which are in
need of special greetings cards, together with the appropriate messages they
might contain.
