Winner Takes All (ITV 1975-1989 with Jimmy Tarbuck)

UK / ITV – Yorkshire / x30 minute episodes / Broadcast 20 April 1975 – 28 June 1988

Mostly produced by Ian Bolt

Early evening quiz show, most often around 7.00 or 7.30pm on a Friday, and hosted by Jimmy Tarbuck. The show had something of a gambling theme as the contestants would start with fifty pounds and then have to bet on the correct answer, so they might bet 10-1 on Jimmy wearing a pringle sweater for every show for example.

Geoffrey Wheeler who acted as voice over man and actual question asker became host around the time of the shows final couple of series with Bobby Davro taking over as host for the final series.

Head of film reviews at The Viewers Guide with an erudite, insightful, slightly sardonic, deep appreciation for classic cinema. Has a habit of quoting obscure lines from old films in everyday conversation. He keeps a meticulously organized film logbook. He's a bit of a tea snob.
