Who was the other team captain that had the stamma?
Not sure, during my time of watching the programme in the mid 1980s the captains were Muir & writer Arthur Marshall(1910-89)

It may have been him but I'm sure there was a bloke who had a stammer on there.
* Just googled it, He was called Patrick Campbell, The 3rd Baron of Glenavy no less.

Mention of Frank Muir makes me think of that "Everyone's a Fruit and Nutcase" TV advert.

“Higher”.....”Lower”

The first broadcast of Play Your Cards Right, produced by LWT. The original series ran until 1987. Revived in 1994-99 & then 2002-03. Forsyth presented all 16 series(246 episodes) of the simple, popular gameshow.
Forsyth memorably reprised the format in a parody called Play Your Iraqi Cards Right when he was guest presenter on HIGNFY in 2003. Ian Hislop said he had never heard of or watched Play Your Cards 😁

Bruce Forsyth(1928-2017) A great entertainer with a very long career to match, which I doubt we will ever see the like of again.

On Channel 4, End of Empire a 13 part series looking at British withdrawals from across the world post WW2. Originally shown in 1985.

A interesting episode, Cyprus. Archbishop Makarios who was President of Cyprus following Independence in 1960, was toppled by a coup d’etat just a few days before the Turkish Invasion of Cyprus in July 1974, the irony being he was rescued by a British Helicopter from the Sovereign UK Base at Akrotiri.
