A general knowledge quiz, hosted by Henry Kelly, featuring contestants from all over Europe.
School sick days and summer holidays, Going for Gold was essential viewing back in the day, it was such a catchy idea, I loved it.
It always seemed a little unfair, those that didn't have English as their first language were at something of a disadvantage,
Expect 80's graphics, a few familiar faces, terrible suits, lots of waving, big hair and a memorable tune, shockingly created by Hans Zimmer.
I was so sad to hear that Henry Kelly had passed away, he was a terrific host, classy and charismatic, amusing but never silly.
Worth seeking the grand final featuring Egghead Daphne Hudson, a memorable winner.
The attempted reboot just didn't work, it truly was a product of the 80's.
8/10.
