Crowther era (The Price Is Right)

The Crowther version is popular with fans of the show for its near-campiness, glamour, and endearing presenting skills of its host, not for its cheaper prizes (which were forced on it by the Independent Broadcasting Authority's prize limits). Its format was nearly identical to that of CBS's daytime show in the United States. It initially used the Big Wheel to decide who would go through to the Showcase, but the IBA forced Central to abandon this because of the lack of skill involved. In fact, the show had to go off air for a while during its first season on the IBA's instructions (the regulator was also unhappy that prize values had exceeded its limits), so that the format could be adapted to fit into a much more tightly-regulated UK broadcasting environment. The Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) was the regulatory body in the United Kingdom for commercial television (ITV and Channel 4 - cable and satellite television were the responsibility of the Cable Authority) and radio broadcasts. ...


After this ruling was made, the show replaced the Big Wheel rounds with a game called "Supermarket", in which each of the three people would select up to four of six presented grocery products; the one whose total was closest to £20, above or below, advanced to the Showcase Final.


Series two saw the Big Wheel return for a spin-off to see who would have the option of bidding or passing on the first showcase; each contestant had to take two spins. If a person scored 100, £400 would be donated to charity on his behalf, and Leslie would ask the person a consumer-related question to win £100 for himself. The winner was the contestant who came closer to 100 in either direction.


The Crowther version later used a game called "the Showcase Questions", where all six on-stage contestants played a series of estimated-guess questions and the person farthest away from the actual prize was eliminated. This was done until the last two contestants were left, and they then advanced to the Showcase Final.


The showcase was played largely the same way as on the American version. In the first season, the winner wouldn't win the largest prize in their showcase if their winning guess was not within 10% of the showcase total.

Warman era (The New Price Is Right)

The New Price Is Right

The second version hosted by Bob Warman is considered to be a precursor to the third version hosted by Bruce Forsyth, as it was half hour, and had the showcase range game. Having premiered shortly after Leslie Crowther's version went off the air, it retained many elements from the set and props, but was a lot more "Americanized". The show was hence called "The New Price is Right" and had a red, yellow, and green pound sign. The Warman version also had slightly better and more expensive prizes than the Crowther version; this was due to the program's shorter length, in-show sponsorship, and lighter regulation of satellite television channels. The show also had a light border in the opening, mimicking the American version, used US music (including the opening theme) and had more colour on the set. The Showcase round was played considerably differently: after three games and a single Showcase Showdown at the Big Wheel (in which spinning 100 earned a bonus spin worth a bonus prize), the Showdown winner selected a range at random from £250 to £1000; if his bid was within the selected range of the price of the presented showcase without going over, he won the showcase. This version was rarely-seen (Sky TV having only just started, and having very few subscribers at the time); even so, its format and its version of the Showcase have since carried over to many other European versions of the show, including Bruce's Price Is Right.

Forsyth era (Bruce's Price Is Right)

Bruce's Price Is Right

When it started in the mid-1990s, Bruce's Price Is Right was one of the first shows to fully take advantage of the Independent Television Commission's lifting of the prize limits and the general deregulation of the UK broadcasting environment. The Showcase Showdown was played on the Big Wheel (objections to lack of skill no longer being a factor), with the highest-scoring contestant on one spin or a combination of two spins going through to the Showcase, and any contestant who scored 100 on one spin or a combination of two spins would win £1,000. The ranges for the Showcase in this version went from £1,000 to £5,000. Although it was only in a half-hour format with three pricing games per show (the Crowther show had been an hour long with six games) it still gave away more valuable prizes each week than the previous ITV version had done (for example, it was possible for a contestant to win two cars, one in a pricing game and one in the showcase, which would have been utterly unthinkable on British TV in the 1980s). Cars offered were usually sub-compacts, from makers like Daihatsu and Daewoo, or models like a Ford Ka or Mazda Demio, but small sports cars like a Hyundai Accent or Vauxhall Tigra were offered on occasion.

On the Forsyth version, the game Plinko was played to very different rules from the US version; considerably less money could be won, and contestants could risk their cash winnings on one final Plinko chip in hopes of adding a car or other large prize to their winnings (the cash spaces on the board were replaced with alternating "WIN" and "LOSE" tags). This contestant is about to play Plinko, and can win up to $50,000. ...


Many European versions of the show that debuted after the Forsyth version based their games and sound cues on that show. The main theme, an update of the US theme, and the "come on down" music are from the short-lived 1994 US syndicated version. The New Price Is Right was a short lived nighttime version of the hit American game show The Price Is Right, which aired from September 12, 1994 to January 1995 in syndication. ...

Pasquale era (The Price Is Right)

The Price Is Right

talkbackTHAMES debuted a revival on ITV on 8 May 2006, this time with "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" winner Joe Pasquale as host. It follows the same gameplay format as Bob Warman and Bruce Forsyth's versions, with Showcase ranges going from £500 to £3000, and the Showcase Showdown adapting the rules from the Warman version, with a car at stake. It has a very "panto" feel to it, and it relies on nostalgia of the Crowther version, which was known for its cheap prizes because of the regulations of the time. Joe's tour manager, Ray Tizzard, makes appearances as his "twin" in various pricing games. The current series drew to an end in December 2006 Image File history File links ThePriceIsRightUK.jpg Summary This is the new The Price Is Right logo in the UK.
