* [[Bonus Round]]: Here's a 5×5 board filled with catch phrases. Make a line horizontally, vertically or diagonally and win a prize package; make a line that includes the center box (containing what we think is the most difficult puzzle of the group), win the prize package and a great bonus.
* [[Home Game]]
* Personnel:
** [[The Announcer]]: John Harlan. The British version went through seven different announcers.
** [[Game Show Host]]: Basketball star Rick Barry [http://www.davidgleason.com/Archive%20BC/BC%201985/BC-1985-01-14.pdf hosted the American pilot]{{Dead link}} (Page 120), but Art James helmed the series. Roy Walker, Nick Weir and Mark Curry hosted in the UK.
** [[Studio Audience]]
* [[Sudden Death]]: If the players failed to answer the Bonus Catchphrase when it was fully visible, they were shown one more and whoever got it won the round. If they didn't get that either, they continued playing sudden death until someone got one.

* [[Art Evolution]]: The catchphrase graphics of the first few series looked like contemporary micro games, using many of the graphical techniques used then to draw the catchphrases. The last few series had graphics rivalling cartoons.
* [[Carried
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Say what you see" (popular enough by the late '90s to be used ''as'' a catchphrase on the programme), "It's good but it's not quite right", and "Keep pressing, keep guessing." The most iconic one, of course, is "Riiiiiiiiiiiight!"
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Probably the best example in the medium — trying to replace a legend got Nick Weir a broken leg '''five seconds''' into his tenure.
