The Visual Quiz
A ground-breaking pilot: Can you remember these famous faces from the early days of See Hear?
Deaf popular culture changed forever with the launch of See Hear in 1981 on BBC1. The magazine-style show not only gave viewers content in BSL, but commissioned special editions on subjects deaf viewers and their families were interested in; like new technology, and education. The program also launched a whole generation of careers in BSL television programming, which made it possible, just ten years later, to create an entire game show based around celebrities in the deaf world.
A gameshow made by and for deaf people, in which contestants need to identify a well-known personality from a partial image and guess the subject of an impersonation, among other games.

Far from trivial, game shows can give us an insight into what was regarded as general knowledge at the time. These are episodes filled with once-familiar faces offering prizes reflecting the then latest sought-after consumer goods. Enjoy this selection of some familiar and lesser known TV game and quiz shows over the years.
