Blankety Blanks - Revivals

Revivals

Other Australian games using the same format appeared in later decades. A 1985-1986 version hosted by Daryl Somers on the Nine Network had little success. This was followed by a second revival in 1996-1997, again appearing on the same network like before. This time, it was hosted by Shane Bourne. This had slightly more success, lasting two seasons. Both of these versions followed the same format as the Kennedy version, but with a top prize of $5,000 (Audience Match amounts were $500–$250–$100, equaling those from the 1973–1982 American versions of Match Game).

In the United Kingdom a version based on the format, called Blankety Blank, was very popular, running from 1979–1990 with a revival from 1997–2002.
