It appears to have originated on a UK (BBC) Saturday Night game show called The Generation Game hosted bat that time (1971) by Sir Bruce Forsyth. Forsyth was known for making up catch phrases on shows he hosted. This was just one of them. The term was used by Forsyth to ask his assistant to read to camera the scores achieved by the contesting family. The scores were on door shaped boards. The phrase has since been adopted by the the UK Food Standards agency which requires food preparation retailers to advertise their Government assessed food standards ratings in full public view. This is normally the main door or window of the outlet.
