• Based on a US game show of the same name, Sale of the Century ran from 1971 to 1983

• The early series were only intended to run in the Anglia region, but the show's popularity meant it was soon rolled out nation-wide

• Each of the three contestants was given a set amount of money at the start of the show, answering questions to add to their total and being deducted money if they got an answer wrong

• As was the way in the 70s and 80s, the viewer was always shown around the caravan, hi-fi system or even the mahogany dining table set complete with carver chairs by a glamorous assistant

According to television archivists Kaleidoscope, only 15 episodes remain of the show, which was broadcast for the final time in 1983.

Chris Perry, co-head of the firm which specialises in locating missing TV programmes, said the final episode was found among items given by Keith Martin, a former continuity announcer and broadcaster.

Mr Martin, who now lives in London, said he was sent a copy of the programme to view his own appearance after he stood in for the show's regular announcer, John Benson.

Norwich City suffered their second home defeat in four days last night.

The Canaries went down 2-0 to Championship high flyers Wolves at Carrow Road.

A goal in each half was enough to give the league leaders all three points. City drop to ninth in the table.

Head coach Daniel Farke admitted that Wolves simply had too much for them.

"We played a team with better quality, especially offensively," he said. "We tried everything.

"Today we have to accept we lost against a better team, which is a bit annoying considering we got beaten by two set pieces."

Accounts for Norwich City up to 30 June show post-tax losses of £2.7m and a £25m drop in income.

The decline in income came after they were relegated from the Premier League in May 2016, before finishing eighth in the Championship last season.

Norwich spent £4.3m on severance costs for 15 members of staff, including CEO Jez Moxey and head coach Alex Neil.

Figures show City paid out £700,000 to its departing chief executive, who only spent six months at Carrow Road.

Meanwhile, it's thought Neil got £2m when he was sacked.

Chairman Ed Balls said: "It's really frustrating because we don't want to spend money when people are leaving the football club. But that's just the nature of this business.

"Alex Neil came on a contract which we wrote to make sure that if we did get up to the Premier League, and we did, that he wasn't poached overnight without any compensation for us and that's the contract we wrote.

"But of course when things don't work out the quid pro quo is that the football club has to pay to make a change."

South Norfolk and Breckland councils are among five authorities working with the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital in a bid to get patients home, external as soon as they are ready.

A man who works at the James Paget Hospital as a payroll clerk is travelling to Kenya next month to compete in the World Scrabble Championships.

John Ashmore, from Bradwell near Great Yarmouth, won 16 of his 32 games at the 2015 championships in Perth, Australia and achieved a highest game score of 538, placing him among the best 100 players in the world.

Mr Ashmore said: "I have been working hard to improve my game, but I know other competitors will be doing the same.

"There are a number of resources online and computer programmes that you can use to learn new obscure words that you would normally never use, and there are new teenage whizz kids every year, so the competition is tough and across all age groups."

Each participant completes 32 games, after which the two top-ranked players go head-to-head in a best of seven games final to find the winner.

It won't just be a "working" trip for John - he says as well as the five days competing, there will be four days of trips, which he "hopes will include a safari".

He might even see an elephant (scores 13 points on the Scrabble board unless there are any double letter or double word bonuses), a giraffe (14 points) or a gazelle (17 points, or 67 if he puts all his tiles down at once).

A parents group says it won't give up trying to prevent the merger of two schools in Great Yarmouth.

The Inspiration Trust, external want to combine Trafalgar College and the Charter Academy.

Last night the Trust said it had listened to views of parents in a consultation.

They'll now put off setting up a sixth form on the Charter site until 2021, but the merger will still go ahead.

A parents group says its views haven't been addressed.

One of them, Jimmy Dwyer, says parents are making quick decisions because of uncertainty: "It forces people into rash decisions or to get stuck somewhere where they don't want their kids.

"If everything goes as we plan we've got another 18 months or so at the Trafalgar site, and hopefully we've got time to change and people are patient.

"We’ve also got time to fight the merger."

The Inspiration Trust says that forecast for pupil numbers at Trafalgar College has been reduced and that they "have to reflect that" in their plans.

The seven defections in Great Yarmouth matter because, until last night, the town was seen as the last bastion of UKIP support in the East of England.

The party had lost all its county councillors, and at a district level its supporters were slowly fading away but in Great Yarmouth - an area with pockets of deprivation and where immigration has been a big issue, the party's 12 councillors held firm insisting that UKIP still had a future and this would be the place which would lead the fightback.

But ever since last June it's been very clear that support for the party has been crumbling, even in Yarmouth.

In every conversation I've had there people have kept saying the same thing: "Job done - what's the point of supporting UKIP anymore?"

This is what Kay Grey, who lead the UKIP group and her six colleagues had also found.

They enjoyed being councillors, they were good at representing their communities, but they knew that with a UKIP tag they wouldn't win another election.

They also felt very lonely.

The UKIP leadership has never been interested in local councillors who have often complained to me that there has been no central direction or support. The defectors saw no reason for staying with the national party.

UKIP still has five councillors in Great Yarmouth and a smattering of district councillors in other parts of the east.

And if Brexit doesn't go as planned, it may yet see a resurgence in support.

But for now things are looking very bleak for a party which has had a major impact on the politics of our region.

The Tories now have control of Great Yarmouth Borough Council after seven UKIP councillors moved across to the party last night.

The Conservative leader of the council, Graham Plant, says the council "can now move forward, and bring forward the policies and actions" needed.

Councillor Plant says, with elections due in May, there is no need for immediate by-elections.

The leader of the Labour group on Great Yarmouth Borough Council, external says there should be by-elections following the defection of seven UKIP councillors to the Conservatives last night.

Trevor Wainwright says the "honourable thing" would be for the councillors to stand down.

"Call a by-election, put yourself forward for re-election as a Tory councillor and let the public decide," he said.

He says the councillors' defection was nothing to do about representing people.

Following the defection of seven UKIP councillors in Great Yarmouth to the Conservatives, the Tories now have a majority on the Borough Council.

The former leader of the UKIP group, Kay Grey, says they made their decision as a group.

"We want to be supporting a party that's going to see Brexit through, and we also believe locally that the hung council is damaging the council slightly," she explains.

Brexit was the most important reason for her joining UKIP, she says, adding that they "achieved the impossible with UKIP" and did a "fantastic job".

Having given up being leader of the UKIP group at the council, Ms Grey says she's happy to take a back seat.

She doesn't believe UKIP as a party is dead, adding it can make a comeback, but it "may not be as strong as when Nigel Farage was its leader".

Ms Grey says she does feel sorry for people who voted for a UKIP councillor, but now have a Conservative.

Her Gorleston ward seat will be up for election next year.
