You Should Be So Lucky was a BBC children's television programme broadcast in 1986–87. It was hosted by Colin Bennett in the character of Vince Purity.

It was a game show, during which contestants played on a giant snakes and ladders board. Points were earned by their team partners through talent tasks (such as singing, or physical games).

Bennett had four assistants, three young girls and a boy, called the "Purettes". The girls would introduce themselves as 'April', 'May', and 'June' at the start of the show. The boy's name was Alex, but Bennett occasionally jokingly referred to him as 'July' in the show.The show was themed around travelling showbusiness with Purity and the Purettes arriving for each episode in a dilapidated transit van .
