Topical comedy quiz played by two teams of three, essentially [[Have I Got News for You]] before its time. In its original form it got a little bit too irreverent for BBC1's then controller, Paul Fox, who axed it abruptly in what should have been the middle of the second series. Some years later, Ned Sherrin revived it as part of his ''Friday Night... Saturday Morning'' late-night talk show.
