Candid Camera

Do you remember the old Candid Camera with Johnathan Routh ?
It was amazing at the time.
The thread about dining out alone, prompted this memory as some of the stunts involved restaurants.

What would you do, if I were at yer table brazingly nicking yer chips ?
Oh and dipping me bread in yer egg, or me biscuit in yer tea
The victims were so good in them days - I shudder to think now ........

Re: Candid Camera

We had an American version of Candid Camera by Allen Funt.. It was so funny.. and you are right about people being good sports back then.. NOW... at least here, they would probably pull out their guns.

Re: Candid Camera

On of my favourites (or perhaps the one that sticks in my mind) was when they had a car with no engine and found petrol stations on a slope so they could coast in. Bought a gallon of petrol then got the attendant to help them because the car wouldn't start.

Yes exactly !
I recall the American ones very well.
What I loved about our ones was the main guy, Johnathan Routh - he was so droll - perfect he was

Well Patsy darlin' you'd either have to be very quick or you'd be nursing a very sore hand with my fork stuck in it. No-one, I mean no-one steps between me and my food!!!
