Blankety Blank 18 January 1979
The first edition of game show Blankety Blank was broadcast on 18 January 1979. It was presented by the affable Terry Wogan, working with a strange wand-like microphone. Although there was a US game show called Blankety Blanks, the British version was in fact closely based on another American programme, The Match Game. However with Wogan鈥檚 self-deprecating wit sparring with the guests and playing on the cheap nature of Blankety Blank - the grand prize on the first episode was a fridge freezer - a durable British hit was born.
