Christ I remember that being on,typical afternoon tv whilst off school ill.
From my recollection though 'House Party' was more 'Womens Institute' tv as opposed to the LW format of some ageing hags clinging onto their better years to try and be sophisticated middle aged ladettes.
Inclined to agree about the bloke discussion programme though, and no doubt the BBC would want Graham Norton or a couple of resident arsebandits on the panel,which would defeat the object of it anyway.
