I'll never forget the "it's a Brand New Day on ABC" promos.  School had just gotten out for the summer.  I'd seen the TVGuide listings for the new shows and, as a pre-teen, it was an exciting time.

I was way too young to remember the promos (almost 9 months old), but I remember seeing them via tape trades. The promos definitely made it seem like an exciting time.

Justin Timberlake was, sadly, not available.

It also sounds like "Your Surprise Package".

But you repeat yourselves.

Looks like it's through the Freevee app, so no charge.

Not for long. Amazon intends to shut down Freevee by the end of the year

Both Prime and Plex currently offer a "BBC Game Shows" channel which features marathons of recent (last 10 years or so) Beeb games. The channel is currently airing a marathon of "The Edge," a 2015 show that combines quiz with bowling. I've also seen episodes of "The Answer Run," "Beat the Pack" and "The Boss" on this channel in recent days. BBC Game Shows also airs episodes of the long-running "Bargain Hunt," the antiquing-and-auction show that has a game element.
