Inventor
David Young, who described the show thus: "It's a word game designed to appeal to a family audience because it doesn't contain any general knowledge questions. On Letterbox you don’t need to be an Egghead to walk away a winner!"
Trivia
Went out at 6.30, immediately after Eggheads.
Hindsight Productions was established by David Young. This was the company's first BBC commission.
