Game for a Laugh

Game For A Laugh was a popular British TV light entertainment show between 1981 and 1985, made by London Weekend Television. Its hosts were Matthew Kelly, Sarah Kennedy, Jeremy Beadle and Henry Kelly. The show resolved around a variety of practical jokes, either in game-type formats played out within the studio or as often elaborate set-ups on unsuspecting members of the public. Each segment would end with the victim being made aware of the joke by a presenter, would would then announce that the person had proved to be "game for a laugh".
