Punchlines was a comedy panel game show that aired on ITV from 3 January 1981 to 22 December 1984, hosted by Lennie Bennett.
The first team to reach 150 points won the chance to win a major prize, while the losing contestant left with a Lennie Bennett doll in the first two series.
The original Punchliners included Rose-Marie, Fogwell Flax, Bryan Joan Elliott, Aiden J. Harvey, Judy Gridley, Patti Gold and, making his first regular TV game-show appearance, Matthew Kelly.
In the final round, the winning contestant had to match seven of the eight punchlines correctly to win the star prize, but if they failed to do so they went away with the prize that corresponded to how many correct punchlines they had matched.
A pilot for an Australian adaptation of the show, hosted by Jeremy Kewley, was made for the Seven Network in 1986.
