THE GERIATRIC GAME

THE GENERATION GAME

The Generation Game was a game shoe that was a combination of Breat the Clock and Family Feud. Teams competed in physical activities to win prizes, but each team was a member of the same family. The original host was Bruce Forsyth, and his co-host was Anthea Redfern.

Certain racism was acceptable in the seventies, particularly overseas and particularly when it applied to martial arts. Sessue Hayakawa was an actor in Japan.
