- Synopsis:
Running for nine highly successful series, 'Jokers Wild' was a lively, rapidly paced panel game in which two teams of top comics competed for laughs from the studio audience. While team members delved into their repertoires for winning jokes based on topics drawn randomly from an over-sized pack of cards, bonus points could be scored by opposing team members if they interrupted mid-gag to complete a punchline. Hosted by comedy legend Barry Cryer, the show's line-up often read like a 'Who's Who?' of British comedy talent - John Cleese, Bob Monkhouse, Arthur Askey, Eric Sykes and Sid James being just a few of the famous players over the course of its six-year run. This first series, featuring Les Dawson, Ted Ray, Charlie Chester, Jimmy Edwards, Alfred Marks and Roy Hudd, was originally screened in 1969. - Actors:
