Blankety Blank

Lily has laughs with some lively contestants, including a girl who claims to be a relative of Mary Tyler Moore, and the elderly Nat Shine, who brings his own sense of fun to the show.

Junior Simpson, Kerry Katona, George Layton and Debra Stephenson all make their sole appearances on the panel. Louise Jameson, who had appeared twice in the Les Dawson era, also makes her only guest spot on Lily's version.

Giggly contestants and an emboldened panel help provide the fun in this edition of the show.

Contestant Chris Keeble is in luck when he reveals one of his ambitions is to meet Gail Porter - Gail makes her sole appearance on the panel this week. Also making his only guest spot on the show is Sid Owen.

Sherrie Hewson is having a nightmare with her answers, while Lily admits she's "not in the mood". However, elderly contestant George is on hand to make Lily laugh against her will.

Lily introduces more contestants and celebrity panellists to the quiz, including the sole appearances of Troy Titus-Adams and David Easter.

Chaos reigns when Liz Dawn and Donald Sinden can't understand the questions, and Bradley Walsh becomes obsessed with Lily's short skirt.

Kevin Woodford and Nadia Sawalha make their second appearances as panellists on the show, and are joined by four guests new to the programme - including Nadia's sister, Julia.

Dermot O'Leary makes his sole Blankety Blank appearance on a show full of pretend people: there's the stylised comic persona of Harry Hill, fictitious glamour model Gayle Tuesday, and, of course, the show is presented by Lily herself.

Lily is in a particularly jaded mood as a game threatens to "take all night", and many of the quiz elements are revealed as ones she hates.

Lily offers a star prize of a week's holiday in Sri Lanka, but can celebrity panellists including Leslie Grantham and Adele Silva help the contestants to win it?

Lily introduces another edition of the quiz show, in which contestants include a jelly wrestler, and a girl who can fit her entire fist in her mouth.

Lily deals with one contestant who lives in cemeteries, and another who got married in secret without letting her family know. Meanwhile, Sherrie Hewson decides she doesn't understand the programme, and declares she shouldn't be on it.

It seems as if Lily's finally starting to get the show's "gentle innuendo" format, noting that questions give the temptation to say "something rude". However, it's not long before she's telling the teatime audience of her inauspicious past

Lily welcomes four celebrities brand new to the panel: Jayne Middlemiss, Billy Murray, Steve Penk and Stuart Miles. Among the contestants is Tom Roberts, a man who took part in the D-Day landings.

Lily Savage returns with Blankety Blank after a 17-month absence from the screen - yet this time, it's with ITV. Lily welcomes five celebrities new to the quiz to usher in the change, with only Keith Duffy having appeared before.

Blankety Blank returns to the BBC for a Christmas Special, hosted by the fictional creation of sharp-tongued Lily Savage (Paul O'Grady). Joining Lily are six celebrities new to the series, including Liz Dawn, Gareth Hale and Gwen Taylor.

Les presents a Welsh-themed episode for the upcoming St. David's Day. New to the panel are weather forecasters Ian McCaskill and Wincey Willis, while making his sole appearance is fellow Mancunian comedian Bernard Manning.

Les is in a buoyant mood, with plenty of laughter among the panel. However, in real life things were quite different - the day before broadcast, Les had been taken into hospital.

The final appearances on Blankety Blank of Nicholas Lyndhurst, Sheila Ferguson and Willie Rushton, in a show where Les claims the panel are only taking part because they couldn't get jobs in pantomime.

An edition where the prizes are so bad, Les threatens to get security to make sure the winning contestants take them home.

A high-scoring game, but with prizes that no one wants to win, and a panel of celebrities that Les calls "a theatrical knacker's yard".

"Don't compound the felony!" Les tells contestant Brian Black after he tries to explain one particularly bad answer. With Les complaining that he's an "idiot" who has brought "boredom" to the show, will the other contestants fare better?

Les is thrown when two contestants are identical twins, yet soldiers on with what he calls a "garbage" show. Meanwhile, will Des Lynam ever forgive Les for getting his name wrong?
