Not even going to try to fight my I've Got a Secret history obsession any more. I'll just ride it to the end. Another post of mine from the GSN Classics board...One more addition to my list of complete I've Got a Secret episodes on YouTube, the just-uploaded 3/30/64 installment with Pete Best (Ringo's predecessor in the Beatles) and Bette Davis. Pieces of this episode were already on the site, including Garry Moore's famous stumble over that strange "McCartney" name.
The show starts with one of I've Got a Secret's occasional Mr. Wizard-ish technology bits. This one works pretty well because you can see what's happening. Except they had to be careful not to burn down the studio. Appropriately, tech fan Bill Cullen guesses the secret.
Bette Davis proves characteristically blunt, and Pete Best can hardly be heard through the Merseyside mumbling. By the way, the audio and video are a little out of sync. And there's a glimpse of Heidi Bohay, Todd Newton and Debra Skelton on the GSN Live set at the very end! That was back in the bigger-budget days for the interstitials.
