Popular Daytime Quiz Show Hosted By Genial Broadca
Popular daytime quiz show hosted by genial broadcaster Henry Kelly, this quiz threw together contestants from all over Europe as they battled for the prestigious Going for Gold crown. The questions came thick and fast as our masterful Irish host presided over proceedings. Going for Gold was on our screens for something like a decade between the mid-eighties and mid-nineties, it was a pure joy to behold and I for one miss it terribly. I can still picture Henry saying "who am I, what am I" as the clock ran down on his clues to answering the question in order to get through to the "First Round Proper" and who can forget the Final Round, when your speed on the buzzer together with the correct answer could collect you four points rather than one, if you were a bit of a slow coach or a dunce. Magical stuff, time for a revival methinks.
Oh my days, your dad must be a old school "Victorian Dad" like mine.
This was a brilliant quiz show, this show was on on weekday mornings, so young fans of this show like myself had to play truant from school for an hour to able to watch it!
I dont think my schooling suffered to much as a consequence of having to resort to this. I even used to pretent to be ill so i could stay off school, but my old Dad was a strict disciplinarian, he even took my straight to school once from the dentist, having just had two molars removed. As soon as he drove off, i turned round and headed for my nans house.
