3–2–1 was a popular British game show that was made by Yorkshire Television for ITV. It ran for ten years, between 29 July 1978 and 24 December 1988, with former Butlins Redcoat Ted Rogers as the host. It was based on a Spanish gameshow called Un, dos, tres... responda otra vez and was three shows in one, a quiz show, a variety show and a game show.
The show was a huge success consistently pulling in large ratings. The first series, though, intended as a summer filler, attracted up to 16.5 million viewers and subsequent years never failed to peak below 12 million. The show occupied a Saturday early evening slot for most of its run.
The final Christmas special (broadcast on 24 December 1988) attracted 12.5 million viewers, so, it was unclear why an 11th series was not commissioned in 1989. Ted Rogers claimed in a 1996 interview that "the Oxbridge lot who had got hold of TV by now did not want it as it was too downmarket for them, even though it was still getting 12 million viewers.".
The overall objective of the game was to survive elimination through to part three of the show, and try to unravel a series of cryptic clues in order to win the star prize. One of the clues, however, referred to Dusty Bin who was the show's booby prize. If the contestants ended up with Dusty at the end of the show, all they got was a brand new dustbin.
3-2-1 Contact is an American science educational television show that aired on PBS from 1980 to 1988, and an adjoining children's magazine. The show, a production of the Children's Television Workshop, teaches scientific principles and their applications. Dr. Edward G. Atkins, who was responsible for much of the scientific content of the show, felt that the TV program wouldn't replace a classroom but would open the viewers to ask questions about the scientific purpose of things.
3-2-1 Contact was the brainchild of Samuel Y. Gibbon, Jr., who had been the executive producer of The Electric Company for CTW from 1971 to 1977. (Gibbon actually left CTW before Contact's production began, though he was still credited as "Senior Consultant.")
The first season of 65 programs began airing January 14, 1980 on select PBS member stations; it featured a cast of three college students who discussed science in an on-campus room known as the Workshop. The first season came to an end on April 11, 1980, but funds for more episodes were not sufficient until 1982.

Catchin - stacks of beats, from here to atlanta
Ruah! what you say little weasel?
Can't block the foul if the style's cock diesel
I feel like busting loose
With the style that I produce to get juice from a troops
Black kojack, better than beretta
Any veteran knows the medicine man is better
Never sweat a girl that's inside of a jetta
I just let her pass by with a wink to the eye
It's the m-o-n-c-h, i, g-a-i
The greatest rapper you ever heard please won't you relate my
Message to my critics, get it when you rewind
It's three strikes, two tokes, one time for the mind
It's three strikes, two tokes two times for the mind (repeat 8x)

Check who gets wreck, it's me, prince po
Old school flowing, rolling thick with the o
R-g-a-n-i-z-e-d, peace to the pioneers that made a way for me
To mc, and tear the roof off the mother, brother
So back on the underground because we love you smother
Wack mc's, like gravy on chicken
Hope some of the homeless say that our jams is kickin
Stickin flavor, in your grill piece
Pickin fat loops for troops to bop to, when time is ticking
Winding up, here comes the pitch
Prince po throws strictly fast flows with no specific type of niche
But sometimes you gotta slow down the flow
Blow up the spot and let the whole world know
Here comes the prince po with another funky intro
Something to parlay with and ease the mental
Our instrumentals are too much for the average fan
So I bring the jamacian funk (uh!) that's what it is
I am too dope, too fat, organized konfusion is back
That's with a "k" black, get the fly exact stack
The money, start the party cause organzied don't play that!
Why can't I run?
from the carnage and the damage done
How could I be?
We’re falling for everything you say
Leave me weightless
Connecting and letting me decay
How could we be?
Revealing the better days
Now how can we relay this if it all falls down to ruins
Now what’s been done to save us
Now how can we relay this if it all falls down to ruins
They’re fighting for the enemy
Oh, No!
I’ve lost another one
Stop doing this to me
You’re taking them from me
It’s so unfair, so unfair, so unfair
What is it that I’ve done to you?
Give them back to me
Now!
I’ve been misleaded
So why do I care
This road has taken me nowhere
I’ve been misleaded
So why do I care
This road has taken me nowhere
There’s an error in the system, a break in the code
And we’re losing the progress we started before
We’re counting down the days till we will see your face
