Naruhodo - The World!
Synopsis
As part of a Channel 4 season about Japan, a bunch of UK and Japanese celebs took part in this one-off UK edition of a popular Japanese quiz show about international travel. One of the rounds is guessing where a studio guest is from and what their occupation or hobby is, in the manner of What's My Line?.
Participants: Michaela Strachan, Sinitta, Julian Clary, Dexter Fletcher, Cleo Rocos, Kenji Suzuki, Masumi Okada, Michiko Koshino, Yoshiko Kobata.
Trivia
The Japanese show, Naruhodo za Warudo (translated variously as "I Understand the World" or "Let's Go! The World"), ran on Fuji TV from 1981 to 1996 and holds a similar place in Japanese culture to our own Have I Got News for You, being the inspiration for a whole genre of copycat comedy panel shows.
