Call My Bluff (W3)

...
"Call My Bluff" was the second UK game show to be broadcast in colour, on 1 October 1967. The comparatively obscure Crossword on 2 beat it by two days.
...

"Call My Bluff" is a long-running British game show between two teams of three celebrity contestants. The point of the game is for the teams to take it in turn to provide three definitions of an obscure word, only one of which is correct. The other team then has to guess which is the correct definition, the other two being "bluffs". It was brought back to BBC TV by producer Richard L. Lewis.

Examples of words used in "Call My Bluff", taken from a book published in connection with the show in 1972, are "Queach", "Strongle", "Ablewhacket", "Hickboo", "Jargoon", "Zurf", "Morepork", and "Jirble". "Queach", for instance, was defined as "a malicious caricature", "a cross between a quince and a peach", or "a mini-jungle of mixed vegetation". The first and second of those particular definitions are bluffs.

In May 2014 the quirks of the show were lampooned by Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse in BBC Two's satirical Harry and Paul's Story of the Twos, where the show was given the name "Speech Impediment" and the word chosen for the panel was "paedophile".

The theme music for the show was Ciccolino by Norrie Paramor.
