Synopsis
A show for three people - a father, and his son and daughter. Questions were mostly asked of the children, but the father could help with mimes, or by giving the correct answer for fewer points.
The programme was only broadcast as a pilot in 1955, but revived during the 1960s, when the role of "father" was taken by BBC staff members.
Trivia
One of the reasons why the pilot didn't work might be the rules: "Now we have two teams of, er, each team composed of two dads, a son and a daughter and each team will play against the other to see who wins in the end. Now I ask each 'family', as it were, a question and they are allowed a minute in which to answer. For the first half minute, only the son can answer and if he gets it right he gets two marks, and dad can only help him in mime. If the son does not get it, then the second half minute dad takes over and he can't get any help from anybody and if he gets it right he only gets one mark, but if the family can't get the answer to the question I'll tell them what that is and given them no marks." Well, that's clear then.
