About This Podcast
You Bet! Pod is a fortnightly deep dive into one of the most gloriously bonkers game shows of 90s British television: You Bet!
Each episode, we randomly select a show from the You Bet! archives and relive the madness — dissecting the challenges, marvelling at the challengers, and revisiting the celebrity guests brave (or foolish) enough to take part.
Along the way, we celebrate the ever-changing line-up of hosts — from the irrepressible Bruce Forsyth to Darren Day and Matthew Kelly — and explore what made the show such a Saturday-night staple. Packed with 90's nostalgia and plenty of laughs, You Bet! Pod is the ultimate throwback for anyone who grew up in the 1900's.
You Bet! Pod is the perfect podcast for those of you who still have a fondness for the 1990's and a love of Matthew Kelly's incredible hair.
