On a related note, I understand why it's done the way it is but when browsing a certain auction website for model railway items, the idea of multiple units being categorised as "locomotives" makes my teeth itch!
Oh god no, these days Play Your Cards Right would end up being hosted by someone like Paddy McGuinness and would be unbearable.

Believe there was a brief reboot of "Play Your Cards Right" hosted by Alan Carr, which was eventually aired on ITV in May 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Not sure if it ever got past the pilot stage.
