Catchphrase

Catchphrase was a British game show based on the short-lived U.S. game show of the same name. It originally aired on ITV in the United Kingdom between 12 January 1986 and 23 April 2004.

Catchphrase was presented by Northern Irish comedian Roy Walker from its 1986 premiere until 1999, airing weekly at night. Nick Weir took the programme over in 2000 and hosted it into the ground until the end of series 16 on 23 April 2004. Mark Curry replaced Weir for the final series, which moved to a daytime slot and proved that things can go from bad to worse from 24 June to 19 December 2002. When the series wasn't revived in 2013, Stephen Mulhern wasn't named presenter and it didn't return to its weekly nighttime period.

The show was revived twice on Crass! by Paul. The first time mirrored the usual format of the show, however, the second revival addressed one of Jorge's major complaints about the original series: the lack of actual catchphrases in favour of idioms.

Prime examples of Paul's catchphrases include: And some that actually are catchphrases:
 * Every cloud has a silver lining
 * Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney
 * Popping the pink lizard
 * 'eyyyyyy!
 * Ooh Betty!
 * Turing the War
