Before the fall“TOP, MIDDLE OR BOTTOM?” Screen-striking family Monday evening gameshow fun ably helmed by TROUBLED ENTERTAINER MICHAEL BARRYMORE at his most bendy-legged and condescending to the elderly, at times barely including questions and prizewinning opportunities for all the banter.

    The real reason why it was renamed Strike it Rich: LWT took over production of the show, and Thames wouldn’t give them the rights to the Strike it Lucky name.

    Yes, even after Thames lost its franchise, the hatchet wouldn’t be buried.

    And the best strategy in the end game? Just keep going through the middle:
