Who was the best television gameshow host?

[Xenophon]

Poll to follow. No room for an 'I am Andyw' option I am afraid...

[Spartacus]

Nicholas Parsons.

[rootsnall]

Brucie

[Xenophon]

Nicholas Parsons.

Shame. Cut him from my shortlist along with Bamber Gascoigne, Terry Wogan, Dale Winton and Cilla Black.

[Spartacus]

I boycott this poll in protest at some of the fecking lightweights that made the cut ahead of Nicholas "from Norwich, it's the quiz of the week" Parsons, the king of telly quiz show hosts.

P.S.
Has any of them played the Master?

One of my mates was on that and made a right fool of himself by freezing on an easy question, fancied himself a quiz expert but he never recovered, ruined him !

Jim Bowen, gameshow host?

Your having a giraffe aren't you.

More like Sunday market stall trader!

Why? Sale of the Century ran for a considerable number of years. Nicholas Parsons should be on any such list, of those left on Brucie would qualify, the rest are lightweights.
