Uncommon card · No. 167914

Lingo is a British game show. Originally hosted by Martin Daniels, it ran for one series between 12 May and 14 July 1988, before being revived in 2021 with Adil Ray as the host. The programme involves contestants decoding words based on their first letter, similar to the word game Jotto. In the original version, correctly guessed words also allowed contestants to draw numbers and mark spaces off a bingo card. The series was initially produced by Thames Television and Action Time and was based on the American version of the same name. The revival series is produced by Objective Media Group, and is based on the Dutch version. Following the success of the revival, a celebrity version was aired between 4 September and 19 November 2022, hosted by RuPaul. A second series of Celebrity Lingo was aired in 2026 with Adil Ray as host, before the series was shelved by ITV in September 2026.
