The Generation Game is one of the shows Rosemarie Ford is best known for. This popular gameshow consisted of four sets of two contestants (who must be related hence the name "generation" game) doing unusual things such as line dancing, parachute packing, cake icing, etc., to win a big prize.

It's always been hosted by a man with a beautiful female hostess (Rosemarie Ford was the second hostess for the show). The role of the female is to introduce contestants, read out scores and also dance in the competitive numbers (they often got the contestants to dance salsas or rock and roll).

Many thanks to Greebo for this bit on the Generation Game. She also added:

 

Rosemarie wore the most beautiful dresses I've seen on a non-royal person. Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game (the version that Rosie was on) was extremely popular and ran for a long time.

Very nice addition I must say. By the way this is a great picture of Rosemarie Ford doing two of the things she's very good at--singing and looking amazing.

 

 

Rosemarie Ford took on the Generation Game after finishing a run with the West End Cats (Grizabella) in the second half of 1990. After a very popular 4 year run, Bruce Forsyth (host) left the show, and Rosemarie went with him. The show continued with a new host, star of Big Break, Jim Davidson. Rosie returned to West End Cats in 1995.
