  • It would be wise to remember that the same people who would stop you from listening to Boards of Canada may be back next year to complain about a book or even a tv program. If you can be told what you can see or read then it follows that you can be told what to say or think. Defend your constitutionally protected rights, no one else will do it for you. sopastrike.com

"Blockbusters" is a short interlude of samples from the popular British television game show of the same name, edited together for humorous effect.

The game show is also notable for its game board composed of hexagons.

[edit] Samples

From an episode of the British television game show Blockbusters:

  • Kathy: "??? I'll have a 'W' then please, Bob."
  • Bob: "'W'. What 'W' was the name of Bob Marley's group?" (buzzer) "Wah ha ha ha ha! Everybody worked for it, Kathy got there"
  • Kathy: "Waltzer."
  • Bob: "Yes it is! Waltzer. Gosh you took a chance. Well done!" (bell) "And for those who don't know, that's the one that...people are spun round as it revolves. It's a waltzer. And you've got the choice."
  • Kathy: "I'll have the 'M' please, Bob."
  • Bob: "The 'M'. Yes, you may. What 'M' is a garden flower whose bright orange petals are u-- Yes, Sarah."
  • Sarah: "Football"
  • Bob:"That's it! That's perfect! You've done it! Terrific! Well done. Wowee, I was a little bit worried there. You did it, and here's the big prize, Kathy. Take a look at this; you're gonna love it."
