Synopsis

Comedy game where two lines of a limerick were supplied and comedians were challenged to complete the other three lines. The two contestants had to guess what the very last word of the poem would be to win money.

Despite a reasonably good viewer response, as new satellite channel programmes go, the programme wasn't recommissioned when BSB and Sky merged.

Trivia

When piloted, the show was called Rhyme or Reason and had five comedians instead of four. The original five in the pilot were Sandi Toksvig, Jenny Eclair, Nick Revell, Tony Hawks and Mickey Hutton.
