Peter WindsorHOST
Pushed and shoved.
Peter WindsorHOST
That Scalextric.
Peter WindsorHOST
I don't know.
Peter WindsorHOST
I haven't got the box anymore.
Peter WindsorHOST
But I remember the smell of the track, the cars, the underside of that 61 Ferrari that I had, the Sharknose Ferrari and the Porsche.
Peter WindsorHOST
Just wonderful stuff.
Peter WindsorHOST
So thank you, Scalextric.
Peter WindsorHOST
I think it's Hornby, isn't it? If you actually watched the race, you'd know he commented on the braking during the race before he DNF'd.
Matt HunterHOST
And on top of that, everyone who enters goes into a random draw for a digital copy of their new game, Throttle Trace, which is out in early access now.
Matt HunterHOST
It's literally like Scalextric.
Matt HunterHOST
There's literally only a throttle to break.
Matt HunterHOST
Cool.
Rob HeathHOST
Yeah.
Rob HeathHOST
But then he said that he'd be worried that he'd swap it for like a Scalextrics and a Gameboy or something.
Guy WalkerHOST
speaking of bullseye though there is a reference there's a reference to jim bowen isn't there because he talks about going on a kayaking holiday in norway norway with jim bowen paints a marvelous picture
Nina BuckleyGUEST
Wasn't it that the two contestants have been on other game shows? Yes.
Tom CampbellHOST
Sounds like a birthday present for you, Booker, I'll be honest with you.
Tom CampbellHOST
Uh, "What do I want for Christmas?" "My dad to win a belt." Yeah, I think he probably wanted a Scalextric.
Sam DriverHOST
Uh, also the way Gene sort of approaches this is the classic Gene route of, not in as many words, but, uh, "You dropped that loser brother of yours.
Sam DriverHOST
How are you gonna fare against The Prince later?"
Nathan RarereCORRESPONDENT
They put them in head-to-head in identical cars, and then they race them around this track.
Nathan RarereCORRESPONDENT
So it's like a giant version of when you used to do, uh, the Scalextric tracks or any of those sort of ones where-
Ingrid HipkissHOST
Yes
Nathan RarereCORRESPONDENT
... you know, slot car racing.
TomHOST
It comes-
TomHOST
It's like an, uh, electric Scalextric.
TomHOST
Yeah.
JonahPANELIST
Oh, okay.
Scott ElseyGUEST
So Hornby Hobbies, we've got a number of different brands within our umbrella.
Scott ElseyGUEST
We have Airfits, we have Scalextric, we have Hornby Trains, we have Corgi Diacast.
Scott ElseyGUEST
And I think it's true to say that anyone who works at Hornby has a particular affinity to Hornby and its product line.
Scott ElseyGUEST
And most of the products that we work on are brands that we were interested in when we were younger, when we were kids.
Steve FerdinandoHOST
Yeah.
Danny WallaceHOST
Now... is the Scalextric that you get from Santa's elves the same as one might expect in a commercial retailer such as Smith's Toys R Us? It is
Joe AttiwellHOST
licensed out.
Joe AttiwellHOST
So they license it to the elves? It is licensed out to the elves.
DarrenHOST
Uh, and basically a car...
DarrenHOST
For those that know Scalextric, that's probably the best way I've described it.
AshleyHOST
The wee car, yeah.
DarrenHOST
You know, it's got the little thing that sticks in the middle, but it comes up in the speedway and your car sits between it.
