Bob's Full House

Bob's Full House (1984-1990)

EndedGame Show show

Bob's Full House was a popular and influential quiz programme hosted by Bob Monkhouse which was based on the popular game Bingo and aired on BBC1 from 1 September 1984 until 27 January 1990. On Bob's Full House, four contestants competed to fill in their Bingo-style card. Correct answers to questions covered up a number but incorrect answers cause the players to sit out the next question (this was classified as getting 'wallied'). Unlike a normal bingo card, which has numbers running from 1 to 90, the numbers on a contestant's bingo card run from 1 to 60 only.
