Synopsis
A weekly half-hour trivia quiz, in which various pop stars, television celebrities, Radio 1 disk jockeys, and anyone else they could cajole into the studio answered questions on pop music. Rounds included "guess the intro" and "name the year". Essentially, a bit like Pop Quiz but on the radio.
It started as a one-off for Christmas and there was also a 10-hour special for charity with Paul Gambaccini and Mike Read as team captains before the series proper.
