Blankety Blank returns to the BBC for a Christmas Special, hosted by the fictional creation of sharp-tongued Lily Savage (Paul O'Grady). Joining Lily are six celebrities new to the series, including Liz Dawn, Gareth Hale and Gwen Taylor.
Blankety Blank returns for a full series for the first time in eight years, with Lily Savage as the new host. To mark the change, the panel features celebrities new to the show, with only Liz Dawn having appeared before.
Tim Vincent makes his debut on the panel, while Jeff Rawle and Joe Pasquale make their sole appearances on the show. Unfortunately, Joe can't stop dismantling the set.
A significant episode for Paul O'Grady - not only was it the last of his first full run as host "Lily Savage", but the edition was reshown by the BBC over 24 years later in tribute after his death.
