Catchphrase (UK Game Show)
Catchphrase is a British game show based on a short-lived U.S. game show of the same name. It ran on ITV in the United Kingdom between 12 January 1986 and 19 December 2002, originally hosted by Northern Irish comedian Roy Walker; followed by Nick Weir and lastly, Mark Curry. In August 2012, it was announced that Stephen Mulhern was to host a revived version of the show beginning in 2013.
Two contestants, one male and the other female, would have to identify the familiar phrase represented by a piece of animation accompanied by background music. The show's mascot, a golden robot called "Mr Chips", appeared in many of the animations.
Repeats of the 1994–1999 series (Roy Walker's final series) can be seen on Challenge.

Famous quotes containing the word game:
“There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation “alter” nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
