If neither team guessed all the cards on their row correctly, another toss-up question was asked and the same procedures were followed until someone revealed all the cards in the row or the fourth question in the round was asked. In 2020, as part of a series of one-episode revivals of former gameshows made by ITV franchises, comedian Alan Carr hosted two episodes of a revived version of Play Your Cards Right.

We asked 100 advertising executives: 'Do you think you could sell ice cream to the eskimos?' How many said yes? The winning couple got 200 points to begin with. Bruce would then ask a question, if they got it right, they'd win an extra 50 points, if they got it wrong, they lost 50 points. There were two rows of three cards dealt out (going from left to right, and upward), and one final card at the top. At the start of each row, they could change their card. At the start of the second row, they got an extra 200 points. The rules are the same as in the previous game, but they had to bet on each turn of the card with a minimum bet of 50 points, or up to the number of points they have at that time. When they got to the final card, the couple's score determined the prize they played for. If they had 4,000 or more, they could play for the car (which was a separate game on the US version). They were asked a simple question (usually to name 5 of something – no-one ever got this wrong), and then predicted higher or lower for the final card. If they were right, they would win the car. If not, they won a prize based on their score. A score of less than 4,000 points after finishing the second row required a bet of at least half of the points. We asked 100 bus drivers: 'Have you ever deliberately driven through a puddle to soak a pedestrian?' How many said yes? The first team to reach the end of the board won the game and (starting in the 1990s) a "Brucie Bonus." The first couple to win two out of three games wins the match and went on to play the bonus game for big prizes (later cash). We asked 100 policemen: 'Have you ever arrested someone who was such an incompetent criminal, you actually felt sorry for them? How many said yes?We asked 100 butchers: 'Which would worry you more, a visit from the Income Tax or a visit from Public Health?' How many said Public Health? We asked 100 children aged 11-14: 'Do you think school children should be allowed to go on strike?' How many said yes?

We asked 100 married men: 'If your wife wanted you to wear a homing device so she always knew where you were, would you wear it?' How many said yes? We asked 100 air hostesses: 'If the pilot of your plane turned up with a parachute, would you be concerned?' How many said yes? There was no shortage of contestants happy to behave on television as they might on the last night of a club 18-30 holiday, and apparently there were 13 million viewers who could stand the “higher” and “lower” shouting from Rent-a-Mob audiences as contestants had to say if a card was greater or smaller than a previous one. We asked 100 married women: 'When is your husband more likely to notice your new dress - when you wear it or when he sees the bill?' How many said the bill? We asked 100 single woman: 'When having a medical examination, would you feel more comfortable if the doctor undressed as well?' How many said yes?If the next card was the same rank as the card showing, it counted as a wrong guess; indeed, this is the only way to be wrong when an ace or deuce appeared. "You don't get anything for a pair, not in this game" was Forsyth's catch phrase on such occasions.

How many said yes? We asked 100 married couples: 'Do you think it should be easier for people to obtain a divorce?' How many said yes? Bruce was assisted by his ‘Dolly Dealers’, including Jan Michelle, Denny Kemp, Zena Clifton, Natalie Shaw, Sheryl Deane, Sharon Amos, Maxine Restall and Charlie Maloney. Play Your Cards Right (or Bruce Forsyth's Play Your Cards Right) is a British television game show based on, and played similarly to, the American show Card Sharks.
