The Celebrity Game is an Australian game show based on the game of charades, involving two teams of celebrities. The original series involving a question-and-answer format with three contestants and a panel of nine celebrities was hosted by Bert Newton on the Nine Network in 1969 as Australia's Celebrity Game. A revived series hosted by Mike Preston on Network Ten ran from 1976-1977.

Gameplay

Two teams of three celebrities and a contestant competed in the game of charades, where one player acts out a word or phrase, often by pantomiming similar-sounding words, and the other players guesses the word or phrase. The celebrity regulars included Joy Chambers, Joe Martin, Johnny Pace, Harriet, Stuart Wagstaff and Barry Creyton.[1]
