My only complaint is that the tag line for the game says, "A movie game for anyone who has ever seen a movie. Tyne Tees and Yorkshire: Around 70 episodes; Tuesdays to Thursdays at 6:30 pm from 11 July to 29 December 1995.

Whoever runs out of time hands the advantage to the other team, which takes control of the next round: Triple Charades Jeopardy.

A 1997 edition featuring adults was produced for one series on BBC Two with Michael Aspel presenting. Thanks to some downright weird questions, it kick-starts fun conversations (would you rather have toes for fingers or fingers for toes? A social deduction game that's essentially wink murder on a grand scale, this version deserves a place on everyone's shelf - particularly if you want suggestions for Halloween board games. If both were one correct answer away, all lit hexagons on the board would flash, indicating that the situation was effectively "Blockbusters either way" (later referred to as a "mutual space" on the board), and the next player to give a correct answer would win the game unless the contestant chose a panel which would not give them the win, which was sometimes used as a safety tactic to avoid handing the initiative to the opponent in case they gave the wrong answer. The show aired at 20:00 every weekday with an omnibus showing split over Saturday and Sunday mornings, plus a repeat showing of the previous night's episode at 17:00.

It was then changed from September 1985 on Mondays to Wednesdays and Fridays to Saturdays at 5:15 pm. To make it easier, the rules say that the quote doesn't have to be a real quote, but something that a character in the movie might say. After drawing a card with questions covering everything from the 'best' sauce to the most useful app on your phone, you've got to scribble down what you think most players will say. Following requests on the (now "defunct") Challenge forums to air the show, Challenge managed to acquire Blockbusters from June 2004 to June 2006, but they only showed the first 25 episodes from Series 10, which generated low ratings.And it's never fun when you're playing a group game and there's one person who obviously has no idea and isn't having a good time. The packaging was amazing, it was so neat looking and felt like a real VHS movie case (brought back memories of the good old days) - but unfortunately it wasn't a very fun game.

It was also held in 2009 where the team "Anonymoys +3" whose members included Rahul Menon and Aayush Rajasekaran of The Indian High School, Dubai stood first place. Each hexagon contained a letter of the alphabet (except X and Z, although letter Z appeared occasionally during the Gold Run).It has since been revived for four additional series, the most recent of which was a comedy version hosted by Dara Ó Briain, which aired on Comedy Central from 21 March to 5 December 2019. This was because Home and Away took over the 5:10 pm slot and Emmerdale was now being aired at 6:30 pm, before it was moved to 7:00 pm in January 1990.

On the other hand, if you have a group of friends who are movie buffs, the game can be a lot of fun. The original 1983–87 title sequence featured flipping hexagons with various images on them running down an encyclopedia page.I would even go so far to say Blockbuster is an entertaining alternative to watching a movie with friends! On 4 January 2016, Challenge began showing Series 11 (the first Sky One series), acquiring 179 of the 180 episodes in the series. With teammates screaming answers and arguing over whether someone's flick earned a point or not, it'll give you memories to spare and plenty to laugh about. When either party was one correct answer away from completing their path, the hexagons forming their path would flash to indicate this.
