Has anyone got the full 26 episodes of the Bobs your uncle wet wedding gameshow hosted by Bob Monkhouse in 1991-1992.

There is a few on YouTube but only a few & there was 26 episodes made so I am asking has anyone got more than what is currently on YouTube?.

Wish this show was still on now.

I used to enjoy it, too.
The contestants set out paddling across a swimming pool, in full wedding dresses, in little inflatables.
Great fun!
Sorry, I don't have videos!

I don't have the full shows, but I have all the wetlook scenes from every episode of the UK series on my Wamtec Archives site,

I also have all the scenes from the Spanish version of the show and all of the scenes from the Italian version of the show (20 episodes each). I also have all the scenes from the Spanish re-boot series from 2008.

What I am missing are the many shows from the original Dutch version of the show, which was the basis for the UK, Spanish and Italian shows. The original Dutch version was called "Ron's Honeymoon Quiz" and started in 1987 and ran for 9 years until 1996 with over 100 shows. There are only a few episodes on YT and dozens are missing. If anybody here from Holland has more episodes to share let us know.

E.G. see this example at the 22 minute mark ...

There were also Turkish, Bulgarian and Chinese versions of this same game show.

That Dutch version does look much better than the UK one, which would have been great if they'd not bothered with the big celebrity presenting it. I gather when someone like that is hired part of the contract will state that they must be on-screen for a specific (fairly large) minimum percentage of showtime, as a way of cementing their brand.

Which meant that happened in the case of Bob's Your Uncle was that while the cameras would be on the people in the "love boats" as the questions were asked and answered, when someone got one wrong and the next member of the wedding party had to join them in the sinking boat, often the programme would cut to a full-face close-up of Bob cracking a joke. So most of the time, the actual money-shot of the smartly-clad member of the wedding party stepping down into the flooding boat and sitting down in the water was missed. Occasionally you saw "the sit" with the cutaway happening immediately afterwards, but from a wetlook POV it would have been so much better if they'd showed each new person getting into the boat and stayed with them as they settled into the water.

It was definitely the best show of its era on TV for smartly dressed people getting wet though, as I remember all the outfits the wedding parties wore into the pool were provided by wedding shop Pronuptia, so they were all brand new and proper smart wedding attire.

Thanks wamtec & Dungeonmaster for your replies. Would love to see all the wamtec clips of bobs your uncle & I agree with you dungeonmasrer that they didn't show enough of the very smart female guests getting in the flooded boats as they were lovely formal outfits & suits but it was great that even a show of its kind had even been made so you had to be happy. Really good to know the outfits were from a proper wedding shop & not the props dept and were brand new as I think you could tell that as there was some gorgeously smart ladies suits soaked as I was praying they got all the questions wrong so the smart ladies would have to get wet.

I think that's a bit disappointing. I liked the idea that the clothes were the guests own nice formal outfits, Worn to the wedding and then worn for a swim in the pool.

The Spanish version was spoilt by the guests wearing life jackets as like the original UK version it was all the smartly dressed lady guests getting wet as much as the brides. The life jacket just hides the outfits which spoils it.

Unfortunately that is way things work when you hire a star to host a show. For example Paul Lynde was the star of the Hollywood Squares U.S. game show (called Celebrity Squares in the UK version) and Lynde was the star of the show in the center square and he only agreed to be on the show provided that the writers fed him with all the best lines and the cameras would give him the most "face time". Same thing with Bob Monkhouse. He was a joke writer who was known as "the man of a million jokes" that he wrote and archived. He was also a prolific game show host in the UK with "The Golden Shot" and many other UK game shows. He was reluctant to do the Bob's Your Uncle show and only agreed to do it provided the producers gave him ample "face time" to recite his own jokes.

Monkhouse was also a producer who had editorial control over the show and he used to re-edit those shows and delete certain jokes that did not go down well, and then he would re-shoot extra footage of him telling a different joke, and insert the new footage into the show. So often when the camera panned to the audience laughing they were not actually laughing at what Bob had just said, because he cut in different laugh passages to re-inserted new jokes. That is what you get when you hire a "star" to host a game show, the cameras and editors are told to give primary focus to the star, and not to show the best shots of the pool scenes.

Even when Bob was dying of cancer in 2003 he still managed to make a joke about his cancer ...
