Synopsis
A quiz programme based on dot-to-dot pictures containing 50 dots. Two contestants raced to guess the famous face to win the round, winning a fiver for each dot not used.
Trivia
The lines were drawn in by a team of technicians who joined up the dots by hand.
Dotto was Shaw Taylor's first big hit on TV. In 1958, it was watched by 4.9 million homes, and was the most popular programme that year.
