Sir Patrick Moore's delivery kills me every time. Gamesmaster got so many things right it was hard for anybody to really follow it up and not seem like a pale imitation.

It's amazing looking back just how different GM became when compared to BI. Both were for teenagers and a bit childish to begin with but once Diamond was let off the leash and pushing to a more adult direction the show really took off. Great times! You should look up When Games Attack which was a sequel show of sorts by Diamond on Bravo about 8 years later.

+Lorfarius Yep, they were both pretty different in their approach. But GM lasted much longer (probably due to Diamond). Good idea, I'll check that out!

Brilliant!!! I reckon games master is one of the reasons I'm into retro gaming now! Back in the day I cdnt get all the stuff, too expensive. But now it's easier to get hold of.

Nice video. Not being from the UK, I never got to watch these shows back in the day, but I would have l really liked them. I did know the shows existed from reading Amiga magazines from the UK, mainly The One. I loved that magazine. By the way, the game at 5:14 isn't a Lemmings ripoff, but Lemmings 3.

I love bad influence so much. Liked gamesmaster but never was one for watching other people play games I have already seen!i just wanted the new stuff and bad influence just to fill that part for me. Loved Barry's joypad and btv on games world as well but am dismayed there isn't more of madam pixel uploaded on KZitem! Enjoyed that part of early GW. If I had a dying wish I would have drinks with violet Berlin, Andy crane, Alex Verrey and have Dominic diamond serving the drinks! Sigh

I wish we had shows like this to let us know what was coming up, if you didn't have Nintendo power or some other mag then our only way of knowing was to go to the store and see what was on the shelves or on the upcoming board.

+Bo88y Beretta Telly in the States is a bit more spread out isn't it? I guess over here the programme aired nationally, to everyone, so it made commercial sense. I don't really get how your stations operate. What I do seem to notice, is that US programs seem to look like they were made 10 years prior to when they actually were.

+Nostalgia Nerd I honestly don't know how your programming works. I've heard there's no commercials which means your programs go the full length? Over here we have 3 big network stations ABC, NBC, CBS & I guess Fox is thrown in there, these stations are free however if you pay for cable/satellite stations then that includes hundreds of channels ranging from Mtv, HBO, Disney to Bbc America.

Ah yes, two subjects very close to my heart. I adored them both at the time and recently re-watched every single episode marathon-style for my retrospective blog run-downs and episode database and guides. I think a large part of the draw was that they brought the sweet shop into your living room. It was intangible, often unaffordable, technology porn presented in an edgy, subversive manner (in the case of Gamesmaster at least) that made it all the more alluring. Throw in the glamour the major celebs brought to the table and it was unmissable viewing. There's a small band of die-hard fans who have been trying to petition the copyright holders to release the whole she-bang in HD, but sadly it has fallen on deaf ears so far.

I couldn't stand Dexter Fletcher as the presenter of Games Master series 3. I feel like if they didn't get Dominic Diamond back then Games Master would've been dead and buried after series 3.
