At its prime, the ITV version was one of the most popular games on British television and one of the cornerstones of Saturday-night television. Part of this popularity was the presence of Roy Walker as host, so much so that when he left, the show quickly went downhill and was axed a few years after.

The appeal can be broken down into two parts: 1. * The nature of the game allowed people watching to take part by trying to solve the catchphrases, which were usually rather witty or clever. 2. * Roy Walker, with his friendly personality and having many memorable catch phrases himself.
