'Open the Box' catch phrase was from 'Take Your Pick' with Michael Miles.
You had to choose whether to 'Take the Money' - which went up to the heady heights of £20 or even £30 - or 'Open the Box'. That gave you the chance to win 'Tonight's Star Prize' , something else or maybe win a booby prize.
I think boats or caravans often featured as the star prize - but maybe that was The Quiz of the Week - from Norwich - Sale of the Century - with Nicholas Parsons.
How can I possibly remember all this cr*p? - I'm only 26???
Hylda Baker - saw her at the Windmill Theatre in Gt Yarmouth circa 1972 - we were given free tickets for the worst shows every season!
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Right T'bird. Wilfred Pickles was "Workers' Playtime" round about lunchtime when the programme visited a factory or workplace. I remember something about "Mabel at the Table". . . . .
