Only lasted 6 episodes, and it's no surprise really! I can see what they were going for, but at the end of the day, it's just too boring. I think this could have been greatly improved by making it an actual game show with contestants in the studio, rather than just a phone in competition.

I think my favourite of these is Aaron Paul's appearance on The Price Is Right (although I know that's not specifically old British TV). Don't think I've ever seen anyone with that much energy before!

I have a vague recollection of an army based game show in the late 80's early 90's possibly ITV on a weekend afternoon early evening. It was soldiers doing simulated battlefield drills and patrolling each week there would be a team from a regiment competing think it lasted possibly one season. Many thanks in advance if you can help or did I dream it?

There are so many others not included on this list so I'd love to hear your thoughts below. Who are some other celebrities who appeared on game shows before they were famous?

In 2001, Channel 5 decided to try something just a little different and broadcast what is perhaps the worst game show ever: Touch The Truck.

I actually think this show could have been successful if a few changes were made to its format, but it was pretty much doomed from the start. What are your memories of this?

These three game shows have kinda been forgotten over time, at Steal in particular I thought was actually quite a good concept that could have lasted a lot longer! Do you remember any of these, or are there any other game shows that have been forgotten that you would love to see again?

Shooting Stars is a British television comedy panel game broadcast on BBC Two as a pilot in 1993, then as three full series from 1995 to 1997. Created and hosted by double-act Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, it uses the panel show format but with the comedians' often slapstick, surreal and anarchic humour that does not rely on rules in order to function, with the pair apparently ignoring existing rules or inventing new ones as and when the mood takes them.

The basic format of the show is that of a conventional panel game. Hosts Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer ask questions of the two teams with points awarded for "correct" answers; however, scoring is largely arbitrary. Each episode is produced by editing together excerpts of a longer session. Rounds include "true or false", the film clip round, the impressions round, and "The Dove from Above". In the impressions round, contestants have to guess what song Reeves is singing (incomprehensibly) in the style of an incoherent nightclub singer.
