Synopsis
Lingo is a short-lived UK game show produced by Central Television in 1987 then Thames Television and aired on the ITV network in 1988. It was hosted by Martin Daniels, based on the United States version produced at the same time, and again from 2002 until 2007 and, with a third version starting in 2011. The series was produced to fill a 10-week gap in the ITV schedule in 1988 while long-running police drama The Bill was off air for the year. Lingo became a popular programme with ITV viewers, and was expected to return the following year. At the end of the gap, The Bill was returned to the schedule as normal, but from here, The Bill was broadcast continually without a series break; as a result, Lingo was dropped after just one series, also in part due to ITV launching another popular game show in Wheel of fortune that year.
