You Should Be So Lucky! was a BBC
children's television programme broadcast in 1986/87. It was hosted by Colin Bennett
in the character of Vince Purity.
It was a game show, during which contestants played on a giant snakes and ladders
board. Points were earned by their team partners through talent tasks (such as singing, or physical games).
Colin Bennett had 4 assistants, 3 young girls, and a boy. The girls would introduce themselves as 'April', 'May' and 'June' at the start of the show. The boy's name was Alex, but Colin Bennett occasionally jokingly referred to him as 'July' in the show. The assistants were called "Purettes".
