“What two words would you not use to sell a holiday in Barbados?”
An old episode of Catchphrase has come to light after airing on the game show channel, Challenge, and it’s getting attention for all the wrong reasons.
Lucky contestant Gavin bags himself a holiday in Barbados, and as host Roy Walker breaks into song, it cuts to an overview of the generous prize – unfortunately.

“Traditional colonialism”
The host changed after 1999, so the clip is at least 21 years old, but that doesn’t seem like much of an excuse.
Twitter had thoughts.

Just time for a quick look back in time at the dirty aquarium water we swam around in while growing up without really questioning it… Yup. All fine back there. https://t.co/YkfOxUBKy9
