Crossword on 2

Host

Derek Hart

Broadcast

BBC2, 21 April to 28 May 1968 (52? episodes in 1 series)

Synopsis

Series in which two teams each week (representing their home cities, with London divided into North, South, West and Central) competed to complete a giant crossword. The winner carried on to meet a new challenger the following week, and the eight top teams came back at the end of the series for a knockout phase culminating in a final battle between East Sussex and London (South). Plenty of word games have had long and distinguished runs on British TV; this never quite made the cut despite being given a generous initial run.
