We asked 100 married couples: 'Do you think it should be easier for people to obtain a divorce?' How many said yes? We asked 100 policemen: 'Have you ever wished for a crime to occur, just to relieve the boredom? How many said yes?

We asked 100 barmaids: 'Have you ever deliberately spilt a drink on a customer's lap?' 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. 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. Contestants could also choose to "freeze", thus making the last revealed card the new base card and preventing the opponent from receiving a free chance. no need to reset all the cards when a new player comes along all this can be done at the push of a button.

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?

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.

If not, they won a prize based on their score.The game relied upon market research which discovered the answer to such vital questions as “How many people out of one hundred think Bo Derek is flat-chested?” The fourth question in each round was a "sudden death" question in which someone would win the game on the next turn of the cards. Whoever won control of the board had the opportunity to play the cards (and could change the base card if desired) or pass them to theirs opponents (who could not change the base card and had to successfully clear the remainder of the row). If either team guessed incorrectly, their opponents automatically won the game. Based on the American game show Card Sharks, the British LWT version Play Your Cards Right turned up trumps for Bruce Forsyth in 1980. When Card Sharks was slated for a revival in 1986, Forsyth himself was considered as possible host by creator/producer Mark Goodson (Forsyth, at the time, was in the United States filming the short-lived Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak). The job ultimately went to Bob Eubanks and Bill Rafferty.
