For Love or Money
The show where contestants can win from pounds to pennies, or take away wonderful prizes!

This popular game show ran for four series from 1959. Previously thought lost from the archive, this final edition from series one features Bob Monkhouse as your ever-genial host. Within two weeks of this show being transmitted Bob had moved on to a brand-new series – Candid Camera – and was well on his way to superstardom!


Your host: Bob Monkhouse

with Joy Webster, Nicky Allen and the voice of Barry Faber

Directed by Marjory Ruse

Original ITV Transmission 28 August 1960

Intriguing. If Network believe they have the final episode of that particular series, I wonder why they think it was shown a week earlier than the final episode listed in TV Times and all the newspapers on 04/09/1960.

Nothing to do with different regions? The TX dates of the Dora Bryan Show and the Bruce Forsyths are off, too, I believe?

[Simon Coward]

Not in this case, tx dates are simplified by the fact that ATV London weren't taking the series at all after some point in April 1960!

I pointed out to Network that all contemporary published evidence suggested that there was another edition after the one on 28/08/1960, so if they were sure it was the last one of the series they had then the date they'd given it appeared to be wrong. Subsequently, they've changed the date on their website. At they moment they're still claiming that the episode was previously thought lost even so, but we know that it wasn't, don't we.

In the case of the Dora Bryan Show, ATV London were broadcasting them some weeks after ABC had. It's a bit confusing as I've never managed to find ABC dates for all the episodes that ATV London showed, one of which is one of the pair that still survives, so it may have been a pragmatic choice, picking both dates from the same region rather than one from ABC and one from ATV.
