Jimmy Savile calls 'Eyes Down!' for a game with Speed! - Knowledge! - Wit! - Strategy!
Teams from all over Britain race each other to fill the cards and shout 'Bingo!'

(From the North)

Tonight sees the first round of the semi-finals. Each team is now not only representing its own hospital, but feels that it also represents the entire North-West against the South-West.
Torbay has won through by outpointing its neighbour, Exeter, and the Northern Irish winners. Manchester has in its turn beaten Liverpool and Worthing, who were the winners of the South-Eastern round.
Viewers will be able to see how highly intelligent hospital staff deliberately give wrong answers in the hope that their colleagues can pick up the points needed for a bingo and the bonus of fifty it carries. As Jimmy Savile says each time: 'It's the gamesmanship that counts.'
